CHAPTER VIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1838.
[He must unjust or cruel seem]
This they said tempting Him, that they, &c.
—viii. 6.
He must unjust or cruel seem,
The sinner or the law condemn,
Mercy or truth offend,
His zeal, or His compassion show:
Absolve her? He is virtue's foe,
And sin's acknowledged friend.

Absolve her? He is virtue's foe,
And sin's acknowledged friend.
The serpent speaks in guileful men,
He tempts us first to sin, and then
Accuses those that yield:
But Jesus he in vain assay'd,
That Bruiser of the serpent's head
His blunted tools repell'd.
