 | Piety, and Poesy |  |
On our Saviour's receiving of Children.
Except we be converted, and becomeAs little Children we shall have no room
In God's eternal Kingdom, and who ere
Can be so humble, shall be greatest there,
Or he that will receive so sweet a flower
Into his bosom, hugs his Saviour:
But he that shall offend such little Ones
That are believing, better 'twere Mill-stones
Were hung about his fatal neck, and he
Render'd a prey to the devouring sea:
If Children Lord, are acceptable then
Make me a Childe, Let me be born agen.
