Matthew 7:15: Beware of false prophets
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Teach me the prophets smooth to shun
Who wrap their words in softest love.
But lead their fond disciples down
A spacious way to joys above:
O may I still my station keep,
Hold fast Thy word, and cross, and mind,
Beware the clothing of the sheep,
Beware the language of the blind!
