[They would not obstinate appear]
They went out of the prison, and entered, &c.
—xvi. 40.
They would not obstinate appear,
Or warmly their advantage press,
As far from anger as from fear,
At peace with enemies to peace;
Departing at their foes' request,
A testimony sure they leave
In every persecutor's breast
That Christians can like Christ forgive.
