the ayre did interpose The earth and ayre true correspondence keepe The sunne is arbitrator twixt them both Some-times he lets the spongie clowds to weepe On earths drye face and then as being lothe To offer wrong from flouds and briny seas He paies that moisture which the ayre doth please The fourth reason from Man BVt if Man list not pierce into the skies To search the formall motion of the sphaeres Let Man but set himselfe before his eyes And hee shall see what gouernment he beares For great Iehouah gaue him comly feature And made him lord of euery liuing creature And as a King to counterpoise his cares Hath oft recourse from profit to delight So with this Monarch of the earth it fares Some creatures serue his tast and some his sight Some carry him into what coast he please And some are Phisick for his bodies ease This is the modell of the greater All Which like the eye it selfe cannot behold And though he tread vpon this earthly ball Yet is he grac't with beauties manifold For of a soule and body he is framed So that he is the Kingly creature named The soule of man a glimpse of heau'nly light Conueys it selfe to all the bodi 's members Yet it affoords a view and perfect sight Whereby man vnderstands fo●esees remembers Whose swift discourse and motions are so strange That through the world this little world doth range And as a Captaine of besieged howlds Suruayes the Ports and weakenesse of the walls Then his aduice to others he vnfoulds And to the watch the Corps du gard hee calls So doth the soule preuent the bodies danger Least it should be surprised by a stranger Hereby he is Gods Viceroy here below O're whom heau'ns starry canopie is spread On whom by day the sunne doth light bestow Whom in the night the other starres haue lead Who holds all of the great Lord Paramont That he his praises daily may recoun● None can recount his boundlesse regiment To whom no part of earth hath beene forbidden Whose body doth vnite each element And in the same a soule diuine is hidden Which so conioynes with th' elementall frame That Man th' vnited mirrour we may name If we shall view right reason at the length Which is a choice perfection of the soule Christianity will shew her powerfull strength And will obtaine praecedence in this rowle For with faiths hand we hould our mediator And as a toy neglect the worlds Theater So that the world is for his creatures made The creatures for man's body dayly serue The body is vnto the soule a shade The soule likewise true reason to preserue Right reason doth containe religious bounds Whose Anchor 's cast far from these earthly mounds This is the chaine which heau'n to earth doth linke The golden bracelet of mans greatest blisse Yet must not man of his weake merits thinke But of his grace which all sufficient is For Man is not thus happy by his fact But by Iehouah's onely free compact Thus is the earthly Church heau'ns dearest spouse Not by emissiue but attractiue beames This bounty great should our dull spirits rowse To make his praises be our onely theames Whose charge maintaines vs on this earthly globe And couers vs with his all-righteous robe O happy creature of so kinde a founder Whose power creat's whose prouidence maintaines Of thy great glory who shall be the sounder Poore man is weake to chaunt such lofty straines Let Angel's trumpets of thy glory ring Let heau'nly saints thine Aleluias sing Let earths low vallies her faint ecchoes lend And to this heau'nly quier make some report The harshest voice heau'ns artick will attend And with his grace mans weaknesse will support Nay he accepts the meaning for the deed And with supplies our drouping faith doth feed The disuniting practise of Sathan BVt as the highest doth th'elect vphould From sad dispaire by th' vnion of his sonne So Lucifer makes other rebels bould To run that course that Adam had begun For still he compasseth both seas and lands To ioyne one souldier to his trayterous bands As Pride was first the pro-scaene of his fall And of that crew which with him did conspire So now he vents his mallice and his gall Gainst man which hath a sparke of heau'nly fire For since he cannot wrong the strong of strongs He s●ares no seruant which to him belongs Yet doth he not professe hostilitie But on each folly s●ts a varnisht glosse By which poore man with all agilitie Doth eagerly pursue his greatest losse Hee takes aduantage of mens seuerall age That into dangers he may them ingage In prime of youth when heat of lust abounds He blowes the coales of selfe-consuming pleasures And afterward with auarice he drownes The vitall spirits with carke of worldly treasures Then late repentance time and death consent To end that life which was in folly spent Yet he suggest's lust but a youthfull trick And couetosnesse an honest thrifty care The Maecchiauillians to be pollitick And those most valiant which no sex do spare That to be cleanlinesse when in great pride Men robbe all creatures their true shapes to hide Hee 's first a slaue and prentise for some yeares A perfect humorist for all assayes At last he tyrant turnes and ouer-peeres All humaine comfort and himselfe displayes As Vsurers first get the bonds of heyres And then their lands and tenements are theirs But as the Salamander which doth liue In suites of law and quarrels with his betters Is soone discerned and the Iudge doth giue No place to him but with the fond barretters So is mans foe by th' highest iudge disclaimed And he is hurt which would haue others maimed Thus mans arch-enemy pursues with hate The breach of vnion with his Mediator Thus hath he euer striu'd to make debate Twixt th' earthly Monarch and his great Creator And alwayes where a vertuous concord failes This busie make-bate by his slights preuailes The body of Man BVt now to leaue Mans soule with his first maker Which by faiths conduct climes heau'ns battlements Where once inrowl'd it is with him partaker Farre from the danger of all sad euents Let Man but thinke of his weake bodies masse And he shall see true Vnions liuely glasse For though it be a prison to the soule A rotten barke such treasure to 〈◊〉 Yet this poore frame the best state doth controule In prudent care each member to maintaine The toe scarce feeles the gowte or any greefe But euery part doth feele and seeke reliefe The senses window's see and shunne the ill Which may insue and ayme at all things good The heart from beating neuer standeth still It sends the spirits where dead palsie stood The baser parts food to the maw doe bring Whence vnto them it flowes as from a spring The stomack like a Cooke each messe doth boyle And from the Port-vaine sends it to the liuer Then turn'd
