Lines Written on a Page of the Monthly Review, Which Had Spoken of Mr. Newton's Opinions as Cant
From Poems
Religion
These critics, who to faith no quarter grant,
But call it mere hypocrisy and cant
To make a just acknowledgment of praise,
And thanks to God for governing our ways,
Approve Confucius more, and Zoroaster,
Than Christ's own servant, or that servant's Master.
