700.
[That silence of the' eternal Word]
But Jesus held His peace.
—xxvi. 63.
That silence of the' eternal Word
Confounds our eagerness of pride,
Who will not imitate our Lord
Or man's unjust reproach abide:
With warm, self-vindicating zeal,
Impatient we throw off the blame,
Answer, reply, dispute, appeal,
And all, except ourselves, condemn.
