[Whoe'er for sin and Satan plead]

Ye shall know them by their fruits. —vii. 16.

Whoe'er for sin and Satan plead
Fruits of the flesh they surely bear,
To hell, not heaven, their doctrines lead;
And these the specious prophets are!
These by the beastly mark we know
(The mark Thou hast Thyself assign'd)
And on we to perfection go,
And leave the prophets false behind.
