Matthew 18:25: lie had not to pay
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 10 (1871)
Religion
Justice severe demands the whole:
What shall the sinner say
But — spare a poor insolvent soul,
Who nothing has to pay!
No: if the worth and righteousness
Of all the saints were mine,
I could not answer, or appease
The Creditor Divine.
