[Zeal will nothing leave undone]
We have four men which have a vow on, &c.
—xxi. 23, 24.
Zeal will nothing leave undone
The ignorant to win;
Prudence yields to every one
Without committing sin:
Humble saints advised will be,
Nor ever of themselves presume:
Condescending charity
Doth all to all become.

But can Paul be justified?
To blame let others dare,
Magisterially decide
“The' apostle went too far;”
Nothing from the account appears,
But that the God of boundless grace
Sends His suffering messengers
To all our ransom'd race.
