Mark 7:8: Ye shepherds of the Romish fold
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)

Ye shepherds of the Romish fold,
Who God's express commandments leave,
Yet still your own tradition hold,
This censure to yourselves receive.
Bodies ye may, and bells baptize,
Sprinkle with holy drops the crowd,
Your hearts ye will not circumcise,
Or wash your souls in Jesus' blood.
