65. On Faith.

Faith do's acknowledge Gifts, altho we gave not;
It keeps vnseene those Sins, Confession hid not;
It make us to enioy the Goods we have not;
It counts as done, those pious deeds, we did not;
It workes; endowes; it freely 'accepts; it hides:
What Grace is absent where true Faith abides?
