CHAPTER VIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley | ||
1882.
[A messenger required to speak]
I seek not Mine own glory: there is One, &c.
—viii. 50.
A messenger required to speak,
The bounds of his defence will know,
Nor ever his own glory seek,
Or fiercely judge his bitterest foe;
Content the slanders to repel
He speaks of Jesu's mind possess'd,
With wisdom mild and temper'd zeal,
And leaves his life to do the rest.
