4 And yet can that a truth be thought, They other Witness bring; They call for Moses, he is brought To witness to this thing.
4 And yet can that a truth be thought, They other VVitness bring; They call for Moses, he is brought To witness to this thing.
5 And thus they, Lord, do thee degrade, Or do invaluate The Highest Witness e'er was heard, Or Matters did relate.
