Man shall not quite be lost, but saved who will, Yet not of will in him but grace in me Freely vouchsafed;° once more I will renew His lapsed powers, though forfeit and enthralled By sin to foul exorbitant° desires; Upheld by me, yet once more he shall stand On even ground against his mortal° foe, [180] By me upheld that he may know how frail His fallen condition is and to me owe All his deliverance, and to none but me.
