And yow can never know itt; to admitt No knowledg of your worth, is some of itt. But since to yow your prayses discordes bee Stoope, others ills to meditate with mee. Oh to confesse wee knowe not what wee should, Is halfe excuse, wee know not what wee would. Lightness depresses vs; Emptines fills; Wee sweate, and faint, yet still goe downe the Hills. As new Philosophie arrests the Sunne, And bids the passiue Earth about itt rvnne So wee haue duld our mynde: It hath no ends; Only the body is busie; and pretends As dead low Earth, Eclipses and controules The quick high Moone; so doth the body Soules. In none but vs are such mixt Engines found As hands of double office; for the ground Wee till with them, and them to heauen wee raise. Who Praier-lesse labours, or with out this prayes Doth but one halfe; thats none. Hee which said Plough And looke not back, to looke vp, doth allow Good seede degenerates, and oft obaies The Soyles disease, and into Cockle straies. Lett the Myndes thoughts bee but transplanted so Into the body, and Basterdly they growe What hate could hurt, or bodies like our loue Wee, but no forreine tyrans could remoue These not ingraued, but inborne Dignities Casketts of Soules, Temples, and Pallaces, For bodies shall from death redeemed bee Soules but preserud, not naturallie free As Men to our Prisons now, Soules to vs are sent, Which learne itt there, and come in Innocent.
