Matthew 15:12: The truth a Pharisee offends
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
The truth a Pharisee offends
Too proud instruction to receive:
He never his own faults amends.
Or bears that others should believe:
Yet will we still the truth declare
Which angry formalists reject;
Thus to offend we must not spare
But slight the whole self-righteous sect.
