Proverbs 27:22: Bray'd in trouble's mortar
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 9 (1870)

Bray'd in trouble's mortar!
For half an age have been.
Yet myself I cannot fly,
Or disengage from sin:
What can heal this foolish heart,
Make me wise, and just, and good?
Me and sin for ever part?
A drop of Jesu's blood.
