    O how far remov'd,
    Predestination! is thy foot from such
    As see not the First Cause entire: and ye,
    O mortal men! be wary how ye judge:
    For we, who see the Maker, know not yet
    The number of the chosen; and esteem
    Such scantiness of knowledge our delight:
    For all good is, in that primal good,
    Concentrate; and God's will and ours are one.

For his religion, it was fit
To match his learning and his wit;
'Twas Presbyterian true blue;
For he was of that stubborn crew
Of errant saints, whom all men grant
To be the true Church Militant;
Such as do build their faith upon
The holy text of pike and gun;
Decide all controversies by
Infallible artillery;
And prove their doctrine orthodox,
By Apostolic blows and knocks.

And after hearing what our Church can say,
If still our reason runs another way,
That private reason 'tis more just to curb,
Than by disputes the public peace disturb;
For points obscure are of small use to learn,
But common quiet is mankind's concern.

Prove false again? Two hundred more.
