[The people can a prophet know]

They be persuaded that John was a prophet. —xx. 6.

The people can a prophet know
Who lives a prophet's life below,
Who witnesses the truths of God,
And seals his mission with his blood.

270

But proof the learned cannot find
Through envious prepossession blind,
Nor should a saint the praise receive
Which Pharisees are forced to give.
