Or tender-hearted conscience,

And zeal for gospel truths profess,—

Does sacred instantly commence,

And all that dare but question it are straight

Pronounced th' uncircumcised and reprobate,

As malefactors that escape and fly

Into a sanctuary for defence,

Must not be brought to justice thence,

Although their crimes be ne'er so great and high.

And he that dares presume to do't
