The hymn
The hymns published a year or two after this, and since republished several times, a clear testimony that my judgment was still the same, speak fully to the same purpose. To cite all the passages to this effect would be to transcribe a great part of the volumes. Take one for all, which was reprinted seven years ago, five years ago, two years ago, and some months since.
"Jesus, your blood and righteousness my beauty are, my glorious dress. Amidst flaming worlds, in these arrayed, with joy shall I lift up my head."
The whole expresses the same sentiment, from the beginning to the end.

7. The hymns published a year or two after this, and since republished several times (a clear testimony that my judgment was still the same) speak full to the same purpose. To cite all the passages to this effect, would be to transcribe a great part of the volumes. Take one for all, which was reprinted seven years ago, five years ago, two years ago, and some months since.
“Jesu, thy blood and righteousness My beauty are my glorious dress: Midst flaming worlds in these array’d With joy shall I lift up my head.”
The whole expresses the same sentiment, from the beginning to the end.
