[A pastor who o'erlooks the rest]

Come ye yourselves apart into a desert place, &c. —vi. 31.

A pastor who o'erlooks the rest
Should for his fellow-labourers care,
Nor tempt the weak, by toils oppress'd,
With burdens more than they can bear;
He should not urge the strong to' exert
Their utmost powers with restless zeal,
But weigh their needs with pitying heart,
And all their nature's weakness feel.
