On Acts 26. 28.
¶ Almost a Christian.
LEarning well manag'd make the Graces glad;But if abus'd, the learned man grows mad,And make; his Learning, as an Hand-maid, sitTo wait on the profa'ness of his Wit:But Piety and Parts when they agree,Learning then makes an heavenly harmony.So did St. Paul's, that pious Prisoner; forHe was at once a Slave and Orator:Witness his pithy, and his quaint respondsTo King Agrippa; King, except these Bonds
descriptionPage 22
I wish not only thou, but all hereby,Were both almost, and wholly such as I;Not half a Christian, but to bear those ArmsOf Faith that may repel the Devil's charms.An altogether Christian's not deprav'd;Almost a Christian shall almost be sav'd.
