[Who Jesus' work resolves to do]

Then there arose certain...disputing with, &c. —vi. 9.

Who Jesus' work resolves to do
Will always contradiction meet,
In every age disputers new
Satan's strong arguments repeat;
But all the hellish sophists yield
To one with heavenly wisdom fill'd.
Champion of God, in Jesus' might,
In Jesus' Spirit he goes on,
Single against a world to fight;
He treads their baffled reasons down,
And all the' opposers of his Lord
Quells with the hammer of the word.
