The first We knew of Him was Death－1
The second－was－Renown－
Except the first had justified
The second had not been.
The second－was－Renown－
Except the first had justified
The second had not been.
(F.1006/J.1006)
[1] Him: Abraham Lincoln, and Jesus Christ.
[2] second: second life, the Resurrection; fame is one's second life, hinted by renown. Renown: of the Resurrection.
[3, 4] first had justified, second, not: His death had justified, but His second life, Resurrection, had not. The death of Abraham Lincoln is known, and his fame is to be justified in the future.
