1566.

[If guilty why to be set free?]

I will therefore chastise Him, and release, &c. —xxiii. 16.

If guilty why to be set free?
Or why chastised, if innocent?
The heart hath no stability,
By two contending passions rent:
The abject slave of worldly fear
Who basely courts the smiles of men,
Condemning whom he fain would clear,
The judge condemns himself in vain.
