233. THE SOUL.

When once the soul has lost her way,
O then how restless does she stray!
And having not her God for light,
How does she err in endless night!


234. THE JUDGMENT-DAY.

In doing justice God shall then be known,
Who showing mercy here, few prized, or none.


235. SUFFERINGS.

We merit all we suffer, and by far
More stripes than God lays on the sufferer.


236. PAIN AND PLEASURE.
God suffers not His saints and servants dear
To have continual pain or pleasure here;
But look how night succeeds the day, so He
Gives them by turns their grief and jollity.


237. GOD'S PRESENCE.

God is all-present to whate'er we do,
And as all-present, so all-filling too.


238. ANOTHER.

That there's a God we all do know,
But what God is we cannot show.


239. THE POOR MAN'S PART.

Tell me, rich man, for what intent
Thou load'st with gold thy vestiment?
Whenas the poor cry out: To us
Belongs all gold superfluous.


240. THE RIGHT HAND.

God has a right hand, but is quite bereft
Of that which we do nominate the left.


241. THE STAFF AND ROD.
