A THOUGHT ON JEREMIAH, XXIII. 23, 24.
Would you by none be known or seen,To do an act impure and mean,
Unkind, unmanly, or unjust,
[illeg.] breach of faith, or friendship's trust;
[illeg.] vile expression or a word,
That would not bear a fair record;
[illeg.] sordid sentiment or thought,
That fears to be in judgment brought:
Then in your breast this hint enrol,
There's one that sees, and marks the whole!
