AFTER READING MR. HILL'S “REMARKS,” AND “FARRAGO DOUBLE-DISTILLED.”
Why do the zealots of Geneva rage,And fiercest war with an old prophet wage?
Why doth their chief with blackest slanders load
An hoary servant of the living God?
Sincerely hate, affectedly contemn?
“Because he contradicts himself—not them!”
Let Wesley then a different method try,
Himself gainsay, his own report deny;
Evade or contradict the general call,
And teach, “The Saviour did not die for all.”
This contradiction openly confess'd
Would cancel and atone for all the rest!
