    Is not the winding up witnesses,
    And nicking, more than half the bus'ness?
    For witnesses, like watches, go
    Just as they're set, too fast or slow;
    And where in Conscience they're strait-lac'd,
    'Tis ten to one that side is cast.

Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a
cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin

the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the
same, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
