Lie “Crumbs of Comfort for the Babes of Grace.”
Against her foes Religion well defends
Her sacred truths, but often fears her friends:
If learn’d, their pride, if weak, their zeal she dreads,
And their hearts’ weakness, who have soundest heads.
But most she fears the controversial pen,
The holy strife of disputatious men;
Who the blest Gospel’s peaceful page explore,
Only to fight against its precepts more.
Near to these seats behold yon slender frames,
