Mark 12:4: Again he sent unto them another servant, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
Scripture, a second servant, came.
The vineyard's fruit for God to claim:
We its authority deny.
And will not with the word comply:
The word which doth His mind declare.
We mangle, mutilate, and tear,
Abuse with haughty rage and scorn.
Nor make our Lord the least return.
