[The World and Flesh combin'd with Death and Sin]
The World and Flesh combin'd with Death and Sin,Against th'immortall Soule were privie-banding;
Selfe Traitor Nature had even let them in;
Had not the Faith for Sentinell bin standing;
Who, by the the Cross, did Sin, Flesh, VVorld subdew:
VVhereby, the Soule re-heartened and revived,
Led by her Head, pursewd the Fight and slew,
Slew Death, which sought Her Life to have deprived.
