Christus Mathæum & discipulos alloquitur.
Leave, leave converted Publican! lay downThat sinfull Trash; which in thy happier Race
To gain a Heavenly Crown
Clogs thy free Pace.
O what for this pale durt will not Man do!
Nay even now, 'mongst you
(For this) there's One I see,
Seeks to sell Me.
But Times will come hereafter, when for Gold,
I shall by more (alas) than One, be sold.
