Now if thou wouldst inherit righteousness	A
And so sanctification possess	B
	-
In body soul and spirit then thou must	C
To Jesus fly as one ungodly first	D
	-
And so by him crave pardon for thy sin	E
Which thou hast loved and hast lived in	E
	-
For this cannot at all forgiven be	F
For any righteousness that is in thee	F
	-
Because the best thou hast is filthy rags	G
Profane presumptuous and most beastly brags	G
	-
Of flesh and blood which always cross doth lie	H
To God to grace and thy felicity	F
	-
Then righteousness imputed thou must have	I
Thee from that guilt and punishment to save	J
	-
Thou liest under as a sinful man	K
Throughout polluted and that never can	K
	-
By any other means acquitted be	F
Or ever have true holiness in thee	F
	-
The reason is because all graces are	L
Only in Christ and be infused where	M
	-
Or into those whom he doth justify	H
By what himself hath done that he thereby	H
	-
Might be the whole of all that happiness	A
The sinner shall enjoy here and in bliss	N
	-
Besides if holiness should first be found	O
In those whom God doth pardon then the ground	O
	-
Why we forgiven are would seem to be	F
He first found holiness in thee and me	F
	-
But this the holy Scriptures will refute	P
And prove that righteousness he doth impute	P
	-
Without respect to goodness first in man	K
For to speak truth indeed no goodness can	K
	-
Be found in those that underneath the law	Q
Do stand for if God goodness in them saw	Q
	-
Why doth he once and twice say There is none	R
That righteous be no not so much as one	R
	-
None understandeth none seek after God	S
His ways they have not known but have abode	T
	-
In wickedness unprofitably they	U
Must needs appear to be then every way	U
	-
Their throats an open sepulchre also	V
Their mouths are full of filthy cursings too	W
	-
And bitterness yea underneath their lips	X
The asp hath poison O how many slips	X
	-
And falls in sin must such poor people have	I
Now here's the holiness that should them save	J
	-
Or as a preparation go before	Y
To move God to do for them less or more	Y
	-
No grace must on thee righteousness bestow	V
Or else sin will for ever thee undo	W
	-
Sweet Paul this doctrine also doth express	B
Where he saith Some may have righteousness	A
	-
Though works they have not and it thus may stand	Z
Grace by the promise gives what the command	Z
	-
Requireth us to do and so are we	F
Quitted from doing and by grace made free	F
