[His own renown, His own great name]

His fame spread abroad throughout all, &c. —i. 28.

His own renown, His own great name
Could never hurt God's only Son:
But listening to the voice of fame,
A human preacher is undone;

451

He lets the pleasing poison glide
Insensible through every part,
Till praise, and vanity, and pride
Corrupt his whole unwary heart.
