[The gift which our own flesh we owe]

Ye suffer him no more to do ought for his, &c. —vii. 12.

The gift which our own flesh we owe
If on the temple we bestow,
Though meant an offering to the skies,
'Tis sacrilege, not sacrifice:
What through the hands of parents poor
We gladly should to God restore,
If to the church or priest we give,
God never will through them receive.
