Yes! 'tis the time (I cried) impose the chain,
Destined and due to wretches self-enslaved;
But when I saw such charity remain,
I half could wish this people should be saved.
Faith lost, and Hope, our Charity begins ;
And 'tis a wise design in pitying Heaven,
If this can cover multitude of sins,
To take the only way to be forgiven.
