When they heard that, they were cut to the, &c. —v. 33.

They felt the sharp two-edgèd sword,
Provoked and harden'd by the word

With fiery indignation burn'd,
With rage and madness fill'd.

Their offer'd Lord who now reject
When ready to forgive;

Imprison, judge, and vex, and beat,
And count not fit to live.
