Acts 17:29: We ought not to think that the Godhead is, dfc
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
When man cast off his Maker's yoke.
Inferior form'd to God alone
By reason and his God forsook,
Silver and gold, and wood and stone,
His sordid deities he made,
Senseless as that to which he pray'd.
When Christians lukewarm grown, and cold,
Their Saviour neither loved nor fear'd,
Grosser than all the Pagans old,
The' idolatries of Rome appear'd,
Ami taught the superstitious crowd
That man might make, and eat — his God!
