An Epigram written by a Quaker, to a trousom Impertinent, who us'd to tease him about his Religion.

If thou lov'st Peace, why then dost thou torment
The Peace of us, that slumber in Content?
Thou sayst, we err, pray what is that to thee?
Thou'rt not to answer for my Friends or me.
If thou to Heav'n hast found a nearer cut,
Go thou that way, we're free to go about;
We grutch no Labour, thou may'st be in haste,
It is enough we find out Heav'n at last.
Let not thy Evil Tongue my Spirit move,
Take off the Creature, learn to live in Love,
And that's the way for both to meet above.
