[The' ambassador of Jesus see]

Provide neither gold, nor silver . . . nor, &c. —x. 9, 10.

The' ambassador of Jesus see
Who publish'd first the gospel-word!
His equipage is poverty,
His fund the promise of his Lord:
The gifts which freely he receives,
Freely he gives for Jesus' sake,
And to succeeding labourers leaves
A pattern few have hearts to take.
