[7.] On Lazarus, the Damosell, and a sinner.
Laz'rus come forth? why could not Laz'rus plead,I cannot come, great God, for I am dead:
Dam'sell arise? when Death had closd her eies,
What power had the Damsell to arise?
Sinner repent? Can we as dead, in sin,
As Laz'rus, or the Damsell, live agin?
Admitt we could; could we appoint the hower?
The Voyce that calls, gives, & gives then the power.
