[Vile and wretched as the worst]
Out of the heart . . . proceed evil thoughts, &c.
—vii. 21.
Vile and wretched as the worst,
Saviour if this heart of mine
Bears not all those fruits accursed,
Thine the praise and only Thine:
What it doth of evil bear
Thou dost patiently endure
Till Thy love the root uptear,
Make mine inmost nature pure.
