Religion
Luke 20:6: They be persuaded that John was a prophet
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 11 (1871)
Religion
The people can a prophet know
Who lives a prophet's life below.
Who witnesses the truths of God,
And seals his mission with his blood.
But proof the learned cannot find
Through envious prepossession bhnd,
Nor should a saint the praise receive
Which Pharisees are forced to give.
