[Can priests with Sadducees agree]
Then the high priest rose up, and all they that, &c.
—v. 17.
Can priests with Sadducees agree,
With men who mock at heaven and hell?
Common their rage and enmity
Their bitter persecuting zeal
'Gainst all the ministers of grace
When Jesus gives His word success.
With men who mock at heaven and hell?
Common their rage and enmity
Their bitter persecuting zeal
'Gainst all the ministers of grace
When Jesus gives His word success.
Who love to reign install'd on high,
For honour, power, and riches care,
And who an after state deny,
That growing truth they cannot bear
Which pomp pontifical destroys,
And fills us here with heavenly joys.
