Religion
Acts 24:7: The men who public peace maintain
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
The men who public peace maintain,
And wisely resolute restrain
The rabble's furious will,
Should violent to the violent seem,
And still persist to wrest from them
The power of doing ill.
