[The witnesses who cried so loud]
Who ought to have been here before thee, and, &c.
—xxiv. 19.
The witnesses who cried so loud,
Demanding succour of the crowd,
All parties if the judge will hear,
They think it time to disappear:
Fierce zealots thus in every age
Against the real Christian rage,
But shrink, abscond, and stand aloof,
When magistrates require the proof.
