TRANSLATION OF SIX LATIN LINES,
On the Counter Title-Page of an old Sermon, on Luke xiii. 5. by Arthur Dent.
Whoe'er thou art, that read'st or hear'st these lines,Quickly repent thee, and forsake thy sins:
For if new crimes with former crimes agree,
Then this discourse will a swift witness be.
Some late have heard, and well content have been,
To seek repentance, and forsake their sin:
So then, do thou (as these have done) the same;
Their peace thy portion, and their joy thy theme!
