James 2:17: The faith distinct from works is dead

The faith distinct from works is dead,
(Not the true living faith Divine,
From whence the fruits of grace proceed,)
A mere, fond, empty notion thine,
By fancy form'd with Satan's aid,
A devilish dream, a hellish shade.
3342. Vea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I, &c.—ii..18

THE true believer's challenge hear,
Who loudly dost thy faith profess,
Now let it, without works, appear,
Thine inward principle express,
Or humbled own it cannot be,
And saving faith is not in thee.

My works the sure credentials are
Of faith Divine on me bestow'd,
My faith I by my works declare,
And give the praise of both to God,
And thus the Author's glory show,
Who works in me to will and do.
