This poem shows how earning Gods Grace is compared to sewing together a cloth. You have to be tedious and be sure of what your doing so you are sure to get it right. Earning Gods Grace is never easy but it could be. You could do things to help it and not things that are against it.
My group (Amanda and Johnathan) compared going to Isaac Bear with building a sand castle.
The pails and shovels are the teachers for they shape us into what we need to be
The sand is us for we are young and need people to mold us
Once the castle is done it is beautiful and it is made into something that should stand for a long time. Unless the water washes us away, which could be us getting into the wrong crowd at school or us getting into bad things later in life.
With this poem what impressed me the most was how Edward Taylor made all the comparisons. In almost every line there was a comparison between earning Grace and sewing cloth. It was interesting to read because the comparisons were explained to us and we then were able to go back and comprehend what he was talking about.

In the first paragraph, I'm not sure 'tedious' is the right word, as I don't think Edward Taylor meant for the process to seem boring, but more as time-consuming. Also, for the second paragraph, did you mean to make it into a paragraph or a stanza? For either one, I'd tweak the punctuation.
