ON ONE MR. WALTER MILLER, A Martyr in Q. Mary's Days.
Written by himself in LATIN.
'Tis not for crimes that I have done,
Or sins transgress'd against the law,
That thus my judges tread me down,
And gripe me with their iron paw.
Or sins transgress'd against the law,
That thus my judges tread me down,
And gripe me with their iron paw.
119
'Tis for my faith in him who liv'd,
And died that I might live in Heav'n:
For 'tis by this (that death surviv'd)
I seek that life His death has giv'n!
And died that I might live in Heav'n:
For 'tis by this (that death surviv'd)
I seek that life His death has giv'n!
