Father, part of His double interest / Unto Thy kingdom Thy Son gives to me; / His jointure in the knotty Trinity / He keeps, and gives to me his death's conquest. / This Lamb, whose death with life the world hath blest, / Was from the world's beginning slain, and He / Hath made two wills, which with the legacy / Of His and Thy kingdom do thy sons invest. / Yet such are these laws, that men argue yet / Whether a man those statutes can fulfil. / None doth; but thy all-healing grace and Spirit / Revive again what law and letter kill. / Thy law's abridgement, and Thy last command / Is all but love; O let this last Will stand!
