Acts 21:4: The disciples...said to Paid through the, &c

The Spirit had to them foreshown
The' afflictions waiting for their friend,
They counsell'd him the cross to shun,
Nor to the bloody city ascend;
But partly miss'd the Spirit's mind,
Nor saw the whole by heaven design'd.

Jesus the previous knowledge gives,
And thus His confessor prepares;
His confessor the cross
By faith's anticipating pray
His one oblation multiplies,
And daily for his Saviour dies.
