For 1t changes the trader oft into u cheat
And vice gains a triumph and winneth seat;
And 50 at the market store and azaar,

And few are the traders cen here in our town.
Who don't, iu some way. aid thi. tide To run on !;
For if the vile stuff they don't really peddle,
Against 1t, they wont, in any way meddle
And while their excuses are only to sell.

On the lips of some pulpit. it puts veto.
Corrupts many members, disgraces them all,
And renders them careless of heavens great call ;
But, should the pulpit be true to its trust,
A faction uprising, the parson would out thrust
And 20 from hi. watehtower he hears t4 sad rot

And pile all resolution into the hour
Let him pray with all prayeryet of with hi- coat
