Colossians

XXXIII. Simon Wastill

ALL saints by Christ, who all things made,

From darkness are set free;

What sufferings want I do fulfil,

His grace doth worke in me.

Be constant: legall rites and workes,

With precepts eke of men,

Since Christ, doe nothing helpe our soules;

Hate ceremonies then.

Christ seeke aboue, and put him on,

Your members mortifie;

Man, wife, son, seruant, here may learne

What vice to shun and flye.

Deale well with seruants, watch and pray:

Let words be full of grace;

Walke wisely toward those without,

Salute these in their place.
