On Gods Law.
The sacred Law of God,
Is like to Moses Rod:
If we but keep it in our hand
It will do wonders in the Land;
If we ••light and throw it to the ground,
'Twill turn a Serpent, and inflict a Wound.
•• Wound that Flesh and Blood cannot endure,
Nor salve, until the brazen Serpent cure:
I wish not Lord, thou should'st withold it
Nor would I have it, and not hold it:
O teach me then, my God,
To handle Moses Rod.
