Now are not these unmatched rare
Priviledges, beyond compare?
Except saving knowledge, what doth excell?
To speak truly, I cannot tell,
Which as before, for ought they know
They may obtain, e're hence they go.
Now who can say the Lord doth hardly deal
With reprobates? I dare appeal
Unto themselves, who cannot but
Thus speak: Jehovah doth not shut
All his favours up, from the reprobate,
But this is true, that I relate.
