Classic Poem

For this additional declaration,
This double grace of dispensation,
For liberty and toleration
Against anti-Christian violation:
Whatever zeal-misguided passion
Persuades the sons of reformation,
'Tis but a sly insinuation
To work a popish inundation.
We of the new regeneration,
The well affected of the nation
That will be useful in our station,
Do offer up our due oblation
And make our humble supplication:
While Test and penals are in fashion,
We be not brought in tribulation
By the next synod of the nation.
