On reading Dr. Hill's Thoughts concerning God and Nature,
in Answer to the Philosophy of Lord Bolingbroke.
St. John, thy system must decay,
Before religion's light;
Truth breaks, resistless as the day,
And falshood fades like night.
Before religion's light;
Truth breaks, resistless as the day,
And falshood fades like night.
Let infidelity no more
The damning page applaud:
See, Hill the wrested facts restore,
And vindicate the God!

Divine Ecclesia, from her throne,
Looks smiling with esteem;
Wishing her mitred sons had done,
Like Warburton and Him.
