PEace way ward Soul let not those various storms Which hourly fill the World with fresh Alarms Invade thy Peace nor discompose that rest Which thou maist keep untouch'd within thy Breast Amidst those Whirl-winds if thou keep but free Thy intercourse betwixt thy GOD and thee This Region lyes above these storms and know Thy thoughts are Earthly and they creep too low If these can reach thee or access can find To bring or raise like tempests in thy mind But yet in these disorders something lies That 's worth thy notice out of which the wise May trace and find that just and powerful hand That secretly but surely doth command And manage these distempers with that skill That while they seem to cross they act his Will. Observe that Silver thred that steers and bends The worst of all disorders to such ends That speak his Justice Goodness Providence Who closely guides it by his Influence And tho' these Storms be loud yet listen well There is another Message that they tell This World is not thy Country 't is thy Way Too much Contentment would invite thy stay Too long upon thy journey make it strange Unwelcome news to think upon a change Whereas this tugged entertainment send Thy thoughts before thee to thy journies end Chides thy desires homeward and tells thee plain To think of resting here it is but vain Makes thee to set an equal estimate On this uncertain World and a just rate On that to come it bids thee wait and stay Until thy MASTER call ond then with joy To entertain it Such a Change as this Renders thy loss thy gain improves thy bliss Judge Hales Contempl. p. 121.
