What can this Gospel of Jesus be
What Life & Immortality
What was [It] {it} that he brought to Light
That Plato & Cicero did not write
5     {The Heathen Deities wrote them all
These Moral Virtues great & small
What is the Accusation of Sin
But Moral Virtues deadly Gin}
The Moral Virtues in their Pride
10     Did [over[r]] {oer} the World triumphant ride
In Wars & Sacrifice for Sin
And Souls to Hell ran trooping in
The Accuser Holy God of All
This Pharisaic Worldly Ball
15     Amidst them in his Glory Beams
Upon the Rivers & the Streams
Then Jesus rose & said to [men] {Me}
Thy Sins are all forgiven thee
Loud Pilate Howld loud Caiphas Yelld
20     When they the Gospel Light beheld
[Jerusalem he said to me]

It was when Jesus said to Me
Thy Sins are all forgiven thee
The Christian trumpets loud proclaim
25     Thro all the World in Jesus name
Mutual forgiveness of each Vice
And oped the Gates of Paradise
The Moral Virtues in Great fear
Formed the Cross & Nails & Spear
30     And the Accuser standing by
Cried out Crucify Crucify
Our Moral Virtues neer can be
Nor Warlike pomp & Majesty
For Moral Virtues all begin
35     In the Accusation of Sin
{And [Moral] {all the Heroic} Virtues [all] {End}
In destroying the Sinners Friend}
Am I not Lucifer the Great
And you my daughters in Great State
40     The fruit of my Myster[i]ous Tree
Of Good & Evil & Misery

And Death & Hell which now begin
On every one who Forgives Sin
