Acts 25:16: It is not the manner of the Romans lo deliver, &c
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 12 (1872)
Twas not the way of Pagan Rome
Unheard the prisoner to condemn,
But Christian Romanists can doom
Men unconvicted to the flame,
Innocent saints in secret kill,
With blood the house of mercy till.
And shall not, Lord, the Heathens rise
To judge the Christians in that day.
When answering to the martyr's cries.
Thou dost Thy vengeful wrath disp
And pay the murderers their hire,
And cast into eternal fire?
