[Silence! Tertullus speaks!]
We have found this man a pestilent fellow, &c.
—xxiv. 5.
Silence!
Tertullus speaks!
“We have this fellow found,
This vagabond who outcasts seeks,
And strolls the nation round:
To spread his poisonous lies
The' itinerant presumes,
And riotous assemblies rise,
And mobs where'er he comes.
“We have this fellow found,
This vagabond who outcasts seeks,
And strolls the nation round:
To spread his poisonous lies
The' itinerant presumes,
And riotous assemblies rise,
And mobs where'er he comes.
A universal pest
He plagues both rich and poor,
And will not let one sinner rest
In Satan's arms secure:
He doth the crowd infect,
Into his net he draws
And multiplies the Christian sect,
And glories in the cross.”
