[The man that hath, that still retains]
They...expounded unto him the way of, &c.
—xviii. 26.
The man that hath, that still retains,
Improving his inferior light,
A clearer light and knowledge gains
To deal the word of truth aright;
If powerful in the Scriptures now
And rich in talents he submit
With meek humility to bow,
And listen at a layman's feet.

The meanest saint who Jesus knows
Can show a learn'd Apollos more,
The joy that from believing flows,
The life, and purity, and power;
A woman by her Saviour taught
A teacher of good things may prove,
And lead the man with wisdom fraught
Into the way of perfect love.
