Book III, 7: On Lazarus, the Damosell, and a sinner

Laz'rus come forth? why could not Laz'rus plead,
I cannot come, great God, for I am dead:
Dam'sell arise? when Death had closd her eies,
What power had the Damsell to arise?
Sinner repent? Can we as dead, in sin,
As Laz'rus, or the Damsell, live agin?
Admit we could; could we appoint the hower?
The Voyce that calls, gives, and gives then the power.
