Acts: And the multitude rose up together against, &c

The tools of bad revengeful men
Even Christian magistrates will be,
Unless they Steadily maintain
Their place, and sacred dignity.
All things with calmest caution prove,
And truth revere, and justice love.

The world did thus Thy saints entreat
Of whom the world unworthy was!
And still they seize, and tear, and beat
The zealous champions of Thy cause,
Rabble and rulers join to shame
The confessors of Jesus' name.
