John 4:1: Envious and wicked priests appear
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Envious and wicked priests appear
In every age, the church to' oppose,
Gainst every gospel-minister
They head the troop of Jesus' foes;
Zealots and Sadducees combine
The truth by violence to suppress,
Deists and priests their forces join
To silence all the witnesses.
