Rejected me, and trampled on my favor.

How oft have I stood knocking at thy door,

And been denied entrance evermore?

How often hath my Spirit been withstood,

When as I sent him to have done thee good?

Thy cause or for thy Soul to intercede:

Plead for thyself; if thou hast aught to say,

And pay thy forfeiture without delay.

Behold thou dost ten thousand Talents owe;
