Religion
Acts 11:5: By wisdom pure, and humble love
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
By wisdom pure, and humble love
Made slow and circumspect,
One of a thousand we approve
And all the rest reject;
Visions, and ecstasies, and dreams,
If others seek or shun,
We steer betwixt the two extremes
To credit all, or none.
