John 18:28: They themselves went not into the judgment, &c

Legal impurity they dread
Who innocence oppress,
Nor fear the guiltless blood they shed
Should stain their consciences;
And thus our formalists maintain
Their sanctity's renown,
While gnats out of their cup they strain,
And swallow camels down.

Bitter implacable and proud
They in externals trust,
Abhor the genuine sons of God,
And persecute the just;
Heathens profane far off they see,
At open sinners start,
With eyes full of adultery,
And murder in their heart.
