A Good Conscience is a continual Feast

Tho' Flesh and Blood be so imperfect made,
That we must sin, yet be not thou afraid;
For a pure Heart, with the Soul that's resign'd
To God, does Pardon and Protection find.
When our whole Hearts endeavour to do all
That God commands, then that endeavour shall
Accepted be; if it endure the Test,
Grace will encrease, and we are surely bless'd.
Who ever does attain to this degree
Of Faith, will be so fill'd with Piety,
That neither pains nor losses can annoy;
It will convert all sorrows into joy.
A heart thus set, and firmly fix'd, must needs
Produce delicious Fruits; such holy Seeds
Bring forth such heavenly Thoughts, in Souls refin'd,
That every minute does new feast the mind
With pious strivings, which do raise the state
Of humble hearts, and Grace on Grace create,
Till we get interest in God, and then
Converse with Angels, as before with Men.
And thus our high-grown Fancies will behold
Pleasures too great, too glorious to be told.
