True Christian Love.
They ſay, thou chooſes ſome to Day,
and caſts them off the Morn:
They make the like vain Man to be, Heb. 6. 1. 6.
and do thy counſel ſcorn. 17. 18.
They make the pray for thine Elect, John 17. 9.
and not get thy requeſt: Rom. 34.
Yea tho' thou for them live for ay, Heb. 7. 25.
to interceed as Prieſt. Rom. 8. 16.
God's Elect to whom he gives right
to be his Sons and Heirs,
They make them want ſure right to John 16. 28,
the Heritage for theirs. (have,
The Saints till Death ſeduc'd may be
and Sheep pull'd from thine Hand,
Whom God thee charg'd to keep and ſaid
to ſay they do not ſtand.
Thy Word, thy Oath, thy Covenant, Heb. 6. 18.
they make no certainty:
Faiths anchor they make drive, they ſpeak
in ſubſtance, blaſphemy
They make the Merchant nothing wife,
and very ſhort of thought,
Who pay'd the price & was not ſure John 10. 11.
to have what thou had bought,
Yea ſo unwiſe, as for thy Sheep
thine own Life not to ſpare:
Whom thou may loſe, though ſo dear bought
ſuch fooliſh blocks are rare. and 13.
O wicked thought be far from me,
I know thy Love doth laſt: Rom. 8. 10.
And whom of purpoſe thou doſt call,
thy Grace doth hold them faſt. and 5. 8.
Who thou doſt love, for them thou dy'd
for whom thou dy'd they live.
