[The sinner big with creature love]

Woe unto them that are with child, and to, &c. —xxiv. 19.

The sinner big with creature love,
With worldly hopes, designs, desires,
Will not from earth his heart remove,
Till God his wretched soul requires:
The soft, effeminate soul, employ'd
To nurse and please its body here,
How can it 'scape the wrath of God,
When summon'd at His bar to' appear!
