Hi Pjames,
a lot seems to hinge on 'men who hedge' and I'd like to have seen that argument unpacked rather than simply asserted. You begin with your conclusion, and I'd like to have known a bit about how you arrived at it.
Also, I wonder if it might not be more effective if it directly addressed the friend?
As a bulwark against damnation
you made yourself the strictest
...
Not sure you need 'precious texts' - it's strongly implied by the context.
Just a thought,
I have come believe that faith,
your faith, is a bulwark ...
Not keen on S2 being so certain. Might be better as a question
When your reckoning comes, do you believe
that God will not discern your subterfuge ...
'Discern' and 'dispatched' hit off-notes, to me.
Best, Knot
