[Sinners, if Christ ye truly seek]

Many...brought their books...and burned them. —xix. 19.

Sinners, if Christ ye truly seek
Your covenant with Satan break,
An open detestation show,
Of him and all his works below;
In league with hell who long have been
Bring all your instruments of sin,
Your cards, the devil's books, disdain,
And cast your plays into the flame.
