But Jéshua, passed without his homely parts,
In thé next days, no more so openly preached:
Hearing, how John his cousin was cut off.
Lest violent hands, were likewise on him layed.
Ere were his Work accomplished ín the Earth;
Whereunto, of the Father, was he sent.
The signs he wrought, witnessed in all mens sight;
That He, The-Anointed was.

Hunger and thirst,
Watch, wéariness, wayfaring; doing good
Unto all men, He endured: nor seldom lacked
He, weary at nightfall; where to lay his head.

The meek, the merciful, the pure in heart
And peacemakers, His lips blessed. Words that he taught,
Were full of more than Prophets' Light and Force:
Men, in whose being, was án indwelling spirit;
Which the unrighteousness of thís World wounds;
Mén of sóul-píercing lofty eloquence.
Words of whose mouths, seemed like to rushing wheels,
And a devouring flame, from Throne of Heaven.
