[Let fiends and men their wisdom join]
He put him in prison, and delivered him, &c.
—xii. 4.
Let fiends and men their wisdom join
The purpose of the Lord to' o'erthrow,
They only blast their own design,
And by their wise precaution show
That all submits to His command
Whose counsel shall for ever stand.

Herod intends a saint to kill,
But Christ intends to set him free:
Who can resist the Sovereign will
If God's omnipotent decree
One servant to Himself receives,
Another to His people leaves?
