"With patience they the fire endure, / And thus express the Spirit's seal, / And witness thus, their hearts are pure."
Metaphor in Context
No room for glorying in their grace,
  No cause of thankfulness have we
For those who faith in words profess,
  Till faith's undoubted proofs we see:
But if they see the' Invisible,
  With patience they the fire endure,
And thus express the Spirit's seal,
  And witness thus, their hearts are pure.
