The Linsey-Woolsey Garment. Deut. 22. 11
J. Hart 8.3.
1
Dark is he whose eye’s not single;
Foolish man never can
Hell with heaven mingle.
2
[Everything we do we sin in.
Chosen Jews must not use
Woollen mixed with linen.]
3
God is holy in his nature;
And by that needs must hate
Sin in every creature.
4
Infinite in truth and justice,
He surveys all our ways;
Knows in whom our trust is.
5
Partial service is his loathing;
He requires pure desires;
All the heart, or nothing.
6
[If we think of reconciling
Black with white, dark with light,
’Tis but self-beguiling.]
7
Righteousness to full perfection
Must be brought, lacking nought,
Fearless of rejection.
