A COROLLARY.

Some think, I, an Apology may need
For daring thus to bid my Friends take heed;

And, so perhaps I may; For, not long since,
I suffer'd for as blamless an offence;
And, heretofore, informed was of ONE,
Who said; that to be totally undone
Much less displease him would, then if that he
Should from undoing, be preserv'd by me;
And, shortly after (with no little shame)
That, which he might have scapt, upon him came.
I hope they wiser are, whom, to take heed
I now advise and that they'l better speed.
What e're succeds; Praise will to GOD belong,
And of the Saints, this shall be then the Song.
