Christ alone the Author and finisher of our Faith.

Whilst we beleeve (no more) we but resemble
The Devils, for Those doe so too, and tremble.
He who for Mans redemption was sent,
Will be of true Faith the accomplishment,
As well as framer; and assurance gives,
Though yet unseen, of Large Prerogatives,
As to become Coheirs in that estate
Which He did purchase for th' regenerate:
No Others to be quoted are, but all
Authors besides This One, Apocryphall:
He opens to's the door to true Beleef,
Who seeks t'come in another way's a Theef.
