Religion
Acts: Persecution's progress see
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Persecution's progress see!
The worldly war begun
With contempt and mockery,
In cavilling goes on,
Then the chafed oppressors fret,
Proceed the saints in bonds to lay;
Then the confessors they beat,
And then the martyrs slay.
