Boston, June 12. 1764. Please to insert in your Gazette the
following lines, addressed to the author of "A Contrast,"
published in yesterday's Evening Post:
Rail on, vile atheist; let your tongue blaspheme;
Let God and Whitefield be the sacred marks
. . . [26 lines; signed:] H.P.
* The lines here referred to printed in Fleet's Evening Post
yesterday, under the title of A Contrast, are a vile parody
of those in the Massachusetts Gazette of June 7, (which
breathe a truly Christian spirit ) addressed to the Rev. Mr.
Whitefield on his departure.
TO THE AUTHOR OF THE CONTRAST.
What wretched rhymes with polluted stains,
Attacks the prophet, and his God profanes;
. . . [20 lines]
TO THE AUTHOR OF THE CONTRAST, IN THE EVENING-POST.
Ungen'rous bard ! Th' hast shot thy holy in haste,
Baneful thy muse, and of infernal cast;
. . . [8 lines] [signed] Farewell.
