[The portion this, the lot appears]

But have done unto him whatsoever they, &c. —xvii. 12.

The portion this, the lot appears
Of Christ, and all His ministers,
Abandon'd to the cruel will
Of those who can the body kill:
Yet will we speak in Jesus' name,
Forerunners, followers of our God
Who seal'd His record with His blood.
