[The faith distinct from works is dead]

Faith, if it hath not works, is dead in itself. [Gr.] —ii. 17.

The faith distinct from works is dead,
(Not the true living faith Divine,
From whence the fruits of grace proceed,)
A mere, fond, empty notion thine,

By fancy form'd with Satan's aid,
A devilish dream, a hellish shade.
