[I own, alas, my desperate case!]

If the salt have lost his saltness, wherewith, &c. —ix. 50.

I own, alas, my desperate case!
Then, then I lost the salt of grace,
When from the faith I fell.
But can I never be renew'd?
And must the righteous wrath of God
My sure damnation seal?
Wherewith shall I be season'd now?
The Advocate of sinners Thou
To Thy own word reply:
Or if Thou canst no more forgive,
My doom I at Thy feet receive,
And here resolve to die.
