PROGRESS OF TRUTH.

Advancing Truth has clearly shown,
That ancient Kings possess'd no right
To burn dissenters from their creeds :-
Such deeds were odious in God's sight.
Advancing Truth has yet to show,
That warring Kings of modern times,
Possess no right to end disputes,
By savage wars and murd'rous crimes.
Reflector.
