James 2:24: Yer see, who willing are to see

Yer see, who willing are to see,
A sinner freely saved through grace,
And justified by faith, must be
Confirm'd by works of righteousness:
But God for His will never own
The idle faith which stands alone.

Accounted just through faith Divine,
Inherent righteousness we need,
Our actions with our faith must join
To make and prove us just indeed,
Our faith itself to justify,
And fit believers for the sky.
Was not Rahab... justified by works, &c.—1i. 25.

In proof that she indeed believed,
And favour found for Jesu's sake,
Rahab with cordial love received,
And sent the spies in safety back,
Joyful her saving faith to' express
In works of real righteousness.
