health and diseases the proud Ocean whose restless waves threaten a Deluge to the neighbouring Coasts receives its checks from the small and shutle sand and though it seem a bar to the passenger yet by a ship is made the speedier passage the blustering Winds who think to controul the Marriner by Art are made to serve his purpose 1 O Sacred Providence who from end to end Strongly and sweetly movest shall I write And not of thee through whom my fingers bend To hold my quil shall they not do thee right 2. For either thy command or thy permission Lay hands on all thy are the right and left The first puts on with speed and expedition The other curbs sins stealing pace and theft 3. Nothing escapes them both all must appear And be dispos'd and drest and tun'd by thee Who sweetly temper'st all if we could hear Thy skill and art what musick would it be 4. Thou art in small things great not small in any Thy even praise can neither rise nor fall Thou art in all things one in each thing many For thou art infinite in One and All. 5. Thy Cupboard serves the World the meat is set Where all may reach no beast but knows his feed Birds teach us hawking Fishes have their net The great prey on the less they on some weed 6. Nothing ingendred doth prevent his meat Flies have their table spread ere they appear Some Creatures have in winter what to eat Others do sleep and envy not their cheer 7. Each Creature hath a wisdom for his good The Pigeons feed their tender off spring crying When they are callow but withdraw their food When they are fledge that need may teach them flying 8. Bees work for man and yet they never bruise Their Masters flower but leave it having done As fair as ever and as fit for use So both the flower doth stay and honey run 9. Sheep eat the grass and dung the ground for more Trees after bearing drop their leaves for soyl Springs vent their streams and by expence get more Clouds cool by heat Baths by cooling boyl 10. Thou hast hid Metalls man may take them thence But at his peril when he digs the place He makes a grave as if the thing had sence And threatned man that he should fill the space 11. Even Poysons praise thee should a thing be lost Should Creatures want for want of heed their due Since where are Poysons Antidotes are most Thy help stands close and keeps the fear in view 12. And as thy house is full so I adore Thy curious art in marshalling thy goods The Hills with health abound the valleys with store The South with Marble the North with Furrs and Woods 13. Hard things are glorious easie things good cheap The common all men have that which is rare Men therefore seek to have and care to keep The healthy frosts with Summer Fruits compare 14. Light without wind is glass warm without weight Is Wool and Furrs coole without closeness shade Speed without pains a Horse tall without height A servile Hawk low without loss a Spade All Countries have enough to serve their need If they seek fine things thou dost make them run For their offence and then dost turn their speed To be Commerce and trade from Sun to Sun 16. Nothing wears cloaths but Man nothing doth need But man to wear them nothing useth Fire But man alone to shew his Heavenly breed And only he hath fewel in desire 17. When the Earth was dry thou madst a Sea of wet When that lay gathered thou didst broach the Mountains When yet some places could no moysture get The Winds grew Gardners and the Clouds good Fountains 18. Rain do not hurt my flowrs But gently spend Your hony drops press not to smell them here When they are ripe their odour will ascend And at your lodging with their thanks appear 19. How harsh are thornes to pears and yet they make A better hedge and need less reparation How smooth are silks compared with a stake Or with a stone yet make no good Foundation 20. Sometimes thou dost divide thy gifts to man Sometimes unite the Indian Nut alone Is Cloathing Meat and Trencher Drink and Can Boat Cable Sayl and Needle all in One 21. Most Herbs that grow in Brooks are hot and dry Cold fruits warm kernels help against the wind The Lemon juice and rind cure mutually The Whey of Milk doth loose the Milk doth bind 22. Thy Creatures leap not yet express a feast Where all the guests sit close and nothing wants Frogs marry Fish and flesh Bats Bird and Beast Sponges non sense and sense Mines Earth and Plants 23. To shew thou art not bound as if thy lot Were worse then ours sometimes thou shiftest hands Most things move the under jaw the Crocodile not Most things sleep lying the Elephant leans or stands 24. But who hath praise enough nay who hath any None can express thy works but he that knows them And none can know thy works which are so many And so compleat but only he that owes them But if the contemplation of these Creatures excellencies seem too low let thy divine fancy carry thee to the top of Mount Nebo and thence take a prospect of the Land of promise view those Mansions of Glory purchased for thee with the precious Blood of God hear the heavenly Chore of glorified Saints and Angels singing Hallelujah to him that sitteth upon the throne and to the Lamb for ever Consider how the Angels those glorious Spirits ready and mighty Messengers whose number is innumerable are sent to encamp about the servants of the most High for their protection and safety let thy Soul bath it self in those rivers of pleasure which flow from the refreshing presence of thy al-sufficient God and Saviour believe that heart-ravishing complacency which the Holy One of Israel taketh in his Spouse the Church and in every part and member thereof unto whom he hath confirmed his love for ever by the death of his dear Son by the everlasting Covenant of his Grace and by his many faithful Promises of whatsoever may conduce to her felicity here or hereafter These Meditations will stay thy busie mind that it run not out to vain Companions or unprofitable exercise for its satisfaction and will fill thy Soul brim-full of Heavenly Joy CHAP.
