The Bible is, we plainly see;
Then it must have a pedigree;
It either is a book divine,
Or men to make it did combine;
Suppose the latter, then they must
Either be wicked men or just;
Take either case and you will see
A proof of its divinity.
If wicked men composed this book,
Surely their senses they forsook;
For they the righteous man defend,
And curse the bad from end to end;
If righteous, then they change their name,
For they the authorship disclaim,
And often say, “Thus saith the Lord,”
And testify, “It is His Word”;
If it be not, they tell a lie
And all their righteousness deny.
