 | CHAPTER XIV. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
1086.
[How stubborn the presumptuous man]
Likewise also said they all.
—xiv. 31.
How stubborn the presumptuous man,
So blind, so sure he cannot fall!
How swift the fatal mischief ran,
While Peter's bane infects them all,
To sin the sacred college leads,
And pride through every bosom spreads.
So blind, so sure he cannot fall!
How swift the fatal mischief ran,
While Peter's bane infects them all,
To sin the sacred college leads,
And pride through every bosom spreads.
They promise all, seduced by one,
Freedom, or life itself to save,
The Lord they never will disown;
But who the dire example gave
Left to himself, and most secure,
He only doth his Lord abjure.
