THOUGHT ON JEREMIAH, XVIII. 7.
I
When Justice draws her penal sword,The two-edg'd faulchion of the Word,
Or points the glittering dart;
Then is the moment of address,
[illeg.] dread uncertainty of grace,
To kill or save the heart!
60
II
But, oh! how hard 'tis not to fear,That what so dreadful doth appear,
And shocks the trembling soul,
Hath not another end in view,
And comes in vengeance to pursue
The sinner to his goal!
