Chapter CVII

[Sidenote: Those that pretend want of opportunity to repent. Prov. 27:1. Jam. 4:13.]

A wondrous crowd then 'gan aloud
thus for themselves to say:
"We did intend, Lord, to amend,
and to reform our way.
Our true intent was to repent
and make our peace with thee;
But sudden death stopping our breath,
left us no liberty.
