[Worldlings, anticipate the day]

We cast out with our own hands the tackling, &c. —xxvii. 19.

Worldlings, anticipate the day
When that ye count your chiefest good
Yourselves shall wish to cast away,
A sore, and worse than useless load
Which soon will sink your shatter'd ship,
And plunge you in the' infernal deep.
Skin for your skin, and all ye have
Ye give, in jeopardy extreme,
A momentary life to save,
A dying body to redeem;
But if to save your wealth ye choose
Your soul's eternal life ye lose.
