Versos English Michael Wigglesworth Cvi. [91]

English poem

Cvi. [91]

by (1631–1705)

Listen in the reader

“Your gold is brass, your silver dross,   your righteousness is sin; And think you by such honesty   Eternal life to win? You much mistake, if for its sake   you dream of acceptation; Whereas the same deserveth shame   and meriteth damnation.“

Those that pretend want of opportunity to repent.
