Vp to the Mount of perfect-Holinesse:
For (at our best) corrupt and vile are we.
Yet, we are bound by Faith, with Love and Hope,
To roll the Stone of Good-Endeavour, still,
As neere as may be, to Perfections top,
Though backe againe it tumble downe the Hill.
So; What our Workes had never power to doe,
God's Grace, at last, shall freely bring us to.
