The Epilogue.
[Though no flesh this Law obey]
Though no flesh this Law obey,In it self; In Christ it may:
Though it frighteth us for sin;
Yet our peace, it ushers in:
And, in us prepareth place,
For the saving Law of Grace.
When this Grace hath taught to Love,
Hardest works will easy prove,
And that sin we shall abhor,
Which we doted on before.
