508. Parable 5. Part 1. Of the Net cast into the Sea, emblematical of the End of the World. Matt. xiii.
1
The fishermen, upon the strand,Dragging their nets, with fish, to land,
Who keep the good, from day to day,
And heedless cast the bad away:
2
Emblem that awful scrutiny,Approaching fast, which all will see,
When Christ, in whom the righteous trust,
Shall sever sinners from the just.
