Bible -- Juvenile literature
5 Blest with assurance longs for death,
6 His ministry doth prove;
7 Corinthians press to godliness,
8 And bounty, for Christ's love.
9 Compareth charity to seed.
10 His presence they deride.
11 These scoffings to self-boasting lead.
12 He afterwards begins to chide,
13 And threatens them beside.
_GALATIANS_
1 Against Galatians Paul inveighs,
2 And Peter doth reprove;
3 Abraham he saith was sav'd by faith.
4 Jerusalem above.
5 Bids them stand and fast in liberty,
Wherewith Christ made them free;
6 And shews what made some men persuade
Them circumcis'd to be.
_EPHESIANS_
1 As God's elect Ephesians treats.
2 And man's two states he sifts.
3 The Gentiles call reveal'd to Paul,
4 One God, and many gifts.
5 Bids them to love; but lust to flee.
Duties to relatives.
6 Of arms compleat from head to feet,
A full description gives.
_PHILIPPIANS_
1 Paul to Philippians prais'd his bonds,
2 Bids them Christ imitate;
3 Counts all things loss for Christ and's cross
4 Content is with his state.
_COLOSSIANS_
1 Paul to Colossians Christ describes,
2 Bids angel-worship wave;
3 Exhorts to love the things above
4 Their earnest prayers doth crave.
_I. THESSALONIANS_
1 Paul's thanks for Thessalonians faith.
2 He preach'd without deceit.
3 To them his love doth clearly prove.
4 Describes the judgment great,
5 And doth of duties treat.
_II. THESSALONIANS_
1 Again their faith and love commends.
2 The Antichrist reveals.
3 Bids them to flee ill company
And then his letter seals.
_I. TIMOTHY_
1 Assigns law's use to Timothy,
2 To pray for kings directs;
3 Bishops and deacons qualifications.
4 Th' Apostacy detects.
5 By what rules he must elders treat.
And widows; and his health.
6 What sins to shun; what must be done,
By him and men of wealth.
_II. TIMOTHY_
1 Bids Timothy stir up God's gift,
2 And doth him courage teach;
3 He prophesies apostasies,
4 And chargeth him to preach.
_TITUS_
1 Bishops to Titus Paul describes.
2 Duties of young and old.
3 What Titus ought to teach, what not,
These chapters three unfold.
_PHILEMON_
1 Philemon's constant faith and love,
Great joy to Paul doth give.
Then with kind speech doth him beseech,
Onesimus to receive.
_HEBREWS_
1 Asserts St. Paul that Christ is God,
2 Man's seed he took, and dy'd,
3 As Moses's Lord must be ador'd.
4 Doth rest for saints provide.
5 'Bove all of Levi's line preferr'd,
6 As God did swear of old,
7 A priest made like Melchizedec,
8 He Levi's laws annull'd.
9 Christ's blood preferr'd 'bove bulls and goats,
10 Was offer'd once for all;
11 Paul next display'th the martyrs faith,
12 To run Christ's race doth call,
13 And to be kind withal.
