A Christian is the highest style of man.
A foe to God ne'er was true friend to man, Some sinister intent taints all he does.
He mourns the dead who lives as they desire.
Who gives an empire, by the gift defeats All end of giving; and procures contempt Instead of gratitude.
The chamber where the good man meets his fate Is privileg'd beyond the common walk Of virtuous life, quite in the verge of heaven.
There buds the promise of celestial worth.
