Tis with the whip the boy sets up the top, <br />The whip makes it run round upon its toe; <br />The whip makes it hither and thither hop: <br />'Tis with the whip the top is made to go. <br /> <br />Comparison. <br /> <br />Our legalist is like unto this top, <br />Without a whip he doth not duty do; <br />Let Moses whip him, he will skip and hop; <br />Forbear to whip, he'll neither stand nor go.<br /><br />John Bunyan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/upon-the-whipping-of-the-top/
