['Tis thus our fierce unrighteous foes]

If He were not a malefactor, we would, &c. —xviii. 30.

'Tis thus our fierce unrighteous foes
Their enmity declare,
Guilty of blackest crimes suppose,
And drag us to the bar:
The tedious forms of justice vain
They furiously pass by,
Pronounce us impious and profane,
And judge before they try.
