Religion
Luke 3:14: He said to the soldiers, Do violence to no man
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The preacher doth not all condemn
Who justly wage defensive wars,
But shows salvation is for them
If, compass'd with ten thousand snares,
They dare their calling's sins eschew,
From avarice and ambition fly,
To God, their king, and country true.
And bold for Christ to live and die.
