Matthew 24:5: Thky call'd the miracles He wrought

Thky call'd the miracles He wrought
Illusions wrought by Satan's aid,
Living, a vile impostor thought.
And styled Him a deceiver, dead:
Their faith was all to Jesus due;

And when they would not Him receive,
Rejecting the MessiaJi true,
T was just they should the false believe.
The grace if men refuse to' improve.
Nor will a gospel preacher heed.

Justice which doth the first remove.
Permits an hireling to succeed:
Them that despise a pastor good
The Lord to bold seducers leaves,
And then the headlong multitude
Satan instead of Christ receives.
