James 4:1: Try the spirits
From Short Hymns on Select Passages of the Holy Scriptures (1762) · Osborn ed., vol. 13 (1872)
Religion
Are we not plainly here forbid
To trust a spirit untried?
But slow and safely we proceed
With a celestial Guide:
We weigh with wisdom from above
The men that call Thee Lord,
And all their lives and tempers prove
By Thine unerring word.
