Religion
Matthew 12:15: But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The man of God, like Christ, gives place,
No longer useful in His cause,
Nor tempts a blindfold harden'd race.
But from the furious world withdraws,
The' occasion of their sin removes,
And leaves the foes he wisely loves.
