GRACE.

Πανοπλια

Sinne like a gyant doth encounter me,
Nor am I from his proud controulment free:
To kill this great Goliah, (gracious King)
Give me thy grace instead of Davids sling.

21

Jordan may help, and Siloam's poole may cure
Carnal diseases: but thy fountaine pure
Of saving grace, when I do faint, or pine,
Doth heal my soul without fine oyl, or wine,
Grace is the shield of my defence; the light,
Which guides my feet through this dark vale of night.
When friends, and riches leave me, that alone
Conducts me from the grave to heavens throne.
I fear no Devils through Gods grace, nor men,
No firie oven, nor the Lion's den.
