[Answering to their pastor's zeal]

And all the people came unto Him; and He, &c. —viii. 2.

Answering to their pastor's zeal,
The sheep betimes appear,
Eager and impatient still,
They flock the word to hear,
Listen, while the rich despise,
The great neglect, the learn'd dispute,
Priests against the truth arise,
And zealots persecute.
