[Not like an hireling vain]

He declared particularly what things God, &c. —xxi. 19.

Not like an hireling vain
Who boasts his own success,
But humble to the church, and plain,
He speaks of Jesus' grace,
Of things his Lord had done
A just narration gives,
While not himself but Christ alone,
The praise of all receives.
