[See here an apostolic priest]
Barnabas...(The son of consolation,) a Levite, &c.
—iv. 36.
See here an apostolic priest,
Commission'd from the sky,
Who dares of all himself divest,
The needy to supply!
A primitive example rare
Of gospel poverty,
To feed the flock his only care,
And like his Lord to be.

To feed the flock his only care,
And like his Lord to be.
Jesus to us apostles raise,
Like-minded pastors give
Who freely may dispense Thy grace
As freely they receive;
Who disengaged from all below
May earthly things despise,
And every creature good forego
For treasure in the skies.
