Verse 1
Who make to heaven your bold appeal,
Most forward to prejudge your foes,
The thunder of th’ Almighty deal,
Or send to hell whoe’er oppose,
Judge not by this fallacious sign
That all assurance is divine.

Verse 2
Silence when the Almighty broke,
He answer’d for the sentenc’d man,
Against his hasty judges spoke;
That ye might humbling wisdom gain,
Might each his censuring blindness own,
And judgment leave to God alone.
