1 St. Peter urges godly ways,
2 And on obedience writes;
3 Bids wives be meek, and Sarah-like,
4 And when Christ's patience he displays,
5 To vigilance excites.
[II. PETER]
1 Again bids make our calling sure,
2 False teachers are foretold:
3 How Christ shall come at day of doom,
4 As promis'd was of old.
[I. JOHN]
1 John shews us Christ is our ally,
2 To young and old doth write.
3 Our works must prove the truth of love,
4 And bids us every spirit try:
5 Love makes God's laws seem light.
[II. JOHN]
1 John writes t'a lady and exhorts
Her and her children dear,
Constant to prove in faith and love,
Seducers to beware.
