. Something like:
Oh my! How many dangers surround a righteous person and cause him to commit sins every day! But God's grace supports such a man, and the knowledge of God's truth compensates him for his daily troubles.
Her love is strong and her care is constant, no matter how often he, through his own foolish pride or weakness, commits sins. This Redcross Knight would have died in sin, except that she has guided him to his deliverance (salvation) to righteousness (God).
... I probably missed some nuances... . _________________ Native English teacher at Mister Micawber's |

Cooliegirly, I started trying to do this and gave up. This is not just poetry, but poetry written in the 1500s, and today's native English speakers normally don't understand it all without special footnotes.
I hope someone can help you. |
