Acts 24:5: We have found this man a pestilent fellow, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Silence! Tertullus speaks.'
"We have this fellow found,
This vagabond who outcasts seeks,
And strolls the nation round:
To spread his poisonous lies
The' itinerant presumes,
And riotous assemblies rise,
And mobs where'er he comes.
A universal pest
He plagues both rich and poor,
And will not let one sinner rest
In Satan's arms secure:
He doth the crowd infect,
Into his net he draws
And multiplies the Christian sect,
And glories in the cross."
