[Though Lot a while in Zoar stai'd]

Though Lot a while in Zoar stai'd,
There long to abide he was afraid;
And many now begin to fear
There will be little safety here;
Because they see, hear and believe
What makes them both to fear and grieve.
Yet, in his place let each man stay
Until God calleth him away,
By straitning of his path-wayes here,
Or, by enlarging them elsewhere.

And, let him careful be, that whither
He moves, he bears not our sinnes thither;
For, to what place soe're we go,
The same sinns bring the same Plagues too.
And, there is means of saving-Grace
For Penitents, in ev'ry place.
