[“But now (the warm Enthusiast cries)]
It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, &c.
—xxvi. 18.
“But now (the warm Enthusiast cries)
The office to myself I take,
Offering the Christian sacrifice,
Myself a lawful priest I make,
To me the honour appertains;
No need of man, when God ordains.

“Though kings may not so far presume,
'Tis no presumption in a clown:
And lo, without a call from Rome,
My flail, or hammer I lay down!
And if my order's name ye seek,
Come see a new Melchizedek!”
'Tis no presumption in a clown:
And lo, without a call from Rome,
