Graces divine, not parts humane, hold out in the end. [ 1868]
AS it is with two Children playing together in the day, when night comes, one Child goes to his Father; and the other to his Father:* 1.1 It may be all the day they are so like that you cannot say, whose Child is this or that, but when night comes, the Father then cometh to his Child, and saith; Come my Child come in at dores, And if the other do but offer to come in, No child, you must go home to your Father:* 1.2 So while we are living, Grace and gifts are mingled together, some men have gifts and some Men have graces, and they look very like; Ah, but when night comes, when Death comes, then saith God to those that have Grace, Come my Children, enter in; but if those that have gifts onely come, he sends them another way; so that if a Man have never such parts and gifts yet if he have not Grace withall,* 1.3 he may go to Hell and perish to all Eternity.
