 | CHAPTER XXVIII. The poetical works of John and Charles Wesley |  |
3028.
[Where are the venerable men]
We neither received letters out of Judæ, &c.
—xxviii. 21.
Where are the venerable men,
The eloquent Tertullus, where?
Could Jews their bitter wrath refrain?
Or did their consciences declare
That Pagans were more just than them,
And would not without proof condemn?
The eloquent Tertullus, where?

Or did their consciences declare
That Pagans were more just than them,
And would not without proof condemn?
While God their baffled rage averts,
They counteract their own design,
Spite of their own malicious hearts,
In Paul's defence the zealots join,
Absent, they on his side appear,
And silent, his uprightness clear.
