Study to show thyself approved unto God a workman that needeth not to	A
be ashamed rightly dividing the word of truth TIMOTHY ii	B
	-
	-
My youthful brother oft I long	C
To write to you in prose or song	C
With no pretence to judgment strong	C
But warm affection	D
May truest friendship rivet long	C
Our close connection	D
	-
With deference what I impart	E
Receive with humble grateful heart	E
Nor proudly from my counsel start	E
I only lend it	F
A friend ne'er aims a poisoned dart	E
He wounds to mend it	F
	-
A graduate you've just been made	G
And lately passed the Mitred Head	H
I trust by the Blest Spirit led	H
And Shepherd's care	I
And not a wolf in sheepskin clad	J
As numbers are	K
	-
The greatest office you sustain	L
For love of souls and not of gain	L
Through your neglect should one be slain	L
The Scriptures say	M
Your careless hands his blood will stain	L
On the Last Day	M
	-
But if pure truths like virgin snows	N
You loud proclaim to friends and foes	N
Consoling these deterring those	N
To heaven you'll fly	O
Though stubborn sinners still oppose	N
And graceless die	O
	-
Divide the word of truth aright	O
Show Jesus in a saving light	O
Proclaim to all they're dead outright	O
Till Grace restore them	P
The great Redeemer full in sight	O
Keep still before them	P
	-
Dare not like some to mince the matter	Q
Nor dazzling tropes and figures scatter	Q
Nor coarsely speak nor basely flatter	Q
Nor grovelling go	R
But let plain truths as Life's pure water	Q
Pellucid flow	R
	-
The sinner level with the dead	O
The Lamb exalt the Church's Head	O
His holiness adoring spread	O
With godly zeal	S
Enforce though sinless how He bled	O
For sinners' weal	S
	-
Pourtray how God in thunder spoke	T
His fiery Law whilst curling smoke	T
In terror fierce from Sinai broke	T
Midst raging flame	U
Then Jesu's milder blood invoke	T
And preach His name	U
	-
Remember still to fear the Lord	O
To live as well as preach His word	O
And wield the Gospel's two edged sword	O
Though dangers lower	Q
Example only can afford	O
To precept power	Q
	-
And dress nor slovenly nor gay	M
Nor sternly act nor trifling play	M
Still keep the golden middle way	M
Whate'er betide you	A
And ne'er through giddy pleasures stray	M
Though fools deride you	A
	-
As wily serpent ever prove	V
Yet harmless as the turtle dove	W
Still winning souls by guileful love	W
And deep invention	D
So once the great Apostle strove	X
With good intention	D
	-
And inly to thyself take heed	O
Oft prove your heart its pages read	O
Self knowledge will in time of need	O
Your wants supply	S
Who knows himself from dangers freed	O
Where'er he lie	S
	-
So God will own the labours done	D
Approving see His honoured Son	D
And honoured Law and numbers won	D
Of souls immortal	S
Through grace will onward conquering run	D
To heaven's bright portal	S
	-
And on that last and greatest day	M
When heaven and earth shall pass away	M
A perfect band in bright array	M
Will form your crown	Y
Your joys triumphant wide display	M
And sorrows drown	Y
	-
And now farewell my youthful friend	O
Excuse these lines in candour penned	O
To me as freely counsel lend	O
With zeal as fervent	O
For you will pray till life does end	O
Your humble servant	O
