Religion
Acts 16:40: They went out of the prison, and entered, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
They would not obstinate appear,
Or warmly their advantage press,
As far from anger as from fear,
At peace with enemies to peace;
Departing at their foes' request,
A testimony sure they leave
In every persecutor's breast
That Christians can like Christ forgive.
