During the time thou dwelt below,

On in a course to heaven didst go.

Not casten down with doubts and fears,

Assur’d of heaven near thirty years.

Labour thou didst in Christ’s vineyard;

Diligent wast, no time thou spar’d.

Christ’s standard thou didst bear alone,

After others from it were gone.

Right zeal for truth was found in thee,

Great sinners censurd’st faithfully.
