Hebrews 10:36: That, after...ye might receive the promise, &c

The promise here of perfect love,
Of glorious endless life above
"May we not with more ease obtain,
And 'scape the toil, the strife, the pain?
Yes, if we to our flesh give ear,
Or the smooth daubing prophets hear,
We need not patiently endure,
Or work, before our hearts are pure.

Us, who would do the Saviour's will,
They teach, "be simple, and be still,
Nor mind the legal guides, that say
Ye must endure, ye must obey:
We bid you start, and win the race,
(For patience is a needless grace,)
