[Intreated as a criminal]

Though I have committed nothing against, &c. —xxviii. 17.

Intreated as a criminal,
The Saviour's messenger
Doth meekly, in the sight of all,
His innocency clear:

451

Whose character is not his own,
Whom all unjustly blame,
He keeps, for Jesu's sake alone,
A pure unspotted name.
