[Who knowingly the truth oppose]
Now when the centurion, and they that, &c.

Who knowingly the truth oppose,
More distant from salvation stand,
More unconvincible than those
Blind instruments of their command,
That serve their execrable will,
And all their bloody mind fulfil.

More unconvincible than those
Blind instruments of their command,
That serve their execrable will,
And all their bloody mind fulfil.
The first effects of dying love
Wrought on the Pagan soldiers see!
Their hearts with conscious awe approve,
And own the suffering Deity,
To Jews a bless'd example give,
And bid the heathen world believe.
