Excerpt: ...talk'd against the ministry, With malice in my mind. "O Lord forgive! for mercy's sake, And leave me not behind; For surely I was not awake, Else I had been consign'd. Good ministry, can you forgive, And elders one and all? And, brethren, may I with you live, And be the least of all?"

"The Last Woe" denounces various sins of the congregation: "In your actions unclean, you are openly seen, And this truth you may ever remark, That in anguish and woe, to the saints you must go, And confess what you've done in the dark. "From restraint you are free, and no danger you see, Till the sound of the trumpet comes in, Crying 'Woe to your lust-it must go to the dust, With the unfruitful pleasures of sin.' "And a woe to the liar-he is doom'd to the fire, Until all his dark lies are confess'd- Till he honestly tell, what a spirit from hell Had its impious seat in his breast.
