_Si quis pone me veniet, tollat crucem et sequatur me._ Matt. xvi. 24.
Ergo sequor, sequor, en, quippe et mihi crux mea, Christe, est:
Parva quidem; sed quam non satis, ecce, rego.
Non rego? non parvam hanc? ideo neque parva putanda est.
Crux magna est, parvam non bene ferre crucem.
_If any man will come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his
cross and follow Me._
Therefore I follow, lo, I follow on;
My cross is with me, yet not rightly worn.
It little is compar'd with Thine, I own;
Yet little is not being wrongly borne. G.
