Strength in numbers.
Grace endowed by rote,
Though meaning slumbers
Amidst excess of quote.Atoll thy Sin
With verbal emphasis!
Avoid occasion
From exegesis,For chastity
Of Word removes the stain.
Does history
Not confirm the same?The Book sustains
Despite demonic thought.
If He disdains,
If logic-snares have caughtIllogical
Belief, be still! Entrust
Liturgical
Strength as iron's rust.
