Religion
John 18:39: But ye have a custom, that I should release, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Arm'd with authority the man
Who for an innocent entreats,
He loses all his efforts vain,
His own high dignity forgets;
He should the clamorous command,
Declare for truth and equity,
The' oppressors to their face withstand,
And set the injured Captive free.
