A General History of the Sabbatarian Churches / Embracing Accounts of the Armenian, East Indian, and Abyssinian Episcopacies in Asia and Africa, the Waldenses, Semi-Judaisers, and Sabbatarian Anabaptists of Europe; with the Seventh-day Baptist Denominaton in the United States

by Tamar Davis

Die dem keuschen Lam vermachlet, und erkanffet von der Erd,

Bleibet schon alhir verborgen, unser Ehren Schmuck und Kron,

Wird uns doch ad Jenem Morgen kroenen, Jesus Gotte's Sohn.

The Crowns which we wear here in our mortal life,

Will prepare us this much suffering for the day of trial—

Then must our hope bloom, and our faith increase,

While the world and the flesh both strive to divert us from our course.

While then, we are atoned for through the Holy Shepherd,

Who marries the pure lamb and redeems it from the earth,

Let our honour, our ornaments, our crown even remain concealed,
