[The man of God, like Christ, gives place]

But when Jesus knew it, He withdrew, &c. —xii. 15.

The man of God, like Christ, gives place,
No longer useful in His cause,
Nor tempts a blindfold harden'd race,
But from the furious world withdraws,
The' occasion of their sin removes,
And leaves the foes he wisely loves.
