Religion
Acts 25:3: Favour against the good
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Religion
Favour against the good,
Not justice they desire,
The Jews to shed a martyr's blood,
The priest, again conspire,
By pride and envy wrought
To slay their guiltless foe;
Such evils (horrible to thought)
From false religion flow!
