Imploid in selfe-conceited exercise A fit delight for him that 's onlie wise His admirable glorie puissant power Rich bountie and his setled prouidence Were sacred obiects present eu'rie howre To exercise his deepe intelligence And wouldst thou know his further diligence He did contemplate on this worlds huge frame Viewing a former modell of the same That Father solitarie could not be Which had begot before all worlds begun An offpring motherles for companie His word his wisdome and his onelie Son By whose consent all works of waight were done They two both one combinde in puissance regall The Father Lord the Son the Fathers equall From which two peeres and powers inuisible Vnite in mutuall loue and maiestie Issues a third peere indiuisible And yet to both proportion'd equallie Copartner with the sacred Deitie Of nature like although distinct in name Of sundrie gifts in Godhead all the same My muse strike saile and launch not in the deepe Beare of aloofe and hold thy barke at bay From hungrie gulfe of rough Charybdis keepe And shun the dreadfull rocks of Capharee Those rocks be wracks and manie mens decay The heathen Philosopherslost themselues for want of the true Loadstar For manie slipt in maze of curious doubt So whelmde themselues they neuer could get out A safer course to cut alongst the shore And beare a point where landmarks may direct The shallow waters best can brooke an ore But trifling wherries by the seas are checkt In busie points let faith thy sailes erect Gods breathing Spirit be thy happie winde The Bible be a load-star to thy minde What else could blinde our Sages secular And make those blinde seduce the vulgar sort But keeping of a course irregular Counter to that the Bible doth exhort Leauing whose compasse they must needs come short Truthes surest carde when once they did abandon They lost themselues and others left at randon A busie point so hard and dangerous As is none such containd in holie writ Apert to those that are not curious Presuming on discourse of humane wit Or thinke by reason to discouer it No point more plaine to faithfull minds and holie No point more darke to minds possest with follie Where am I now or whither am I puld My clambring mind surchargd with percing raies Of this celestiall maiestie is duld Each facultie proceeding thence decaies A statelie threefold brightnes ouerswaies My voice forgoes hir meditated sound And in my hart no hart at all is found This glorious Trinitie whom I adore With bending knee and lowlie prostrate hart Whom I beleeue and trembling search no more Than liuelie faith vouchsafeth to impart This Trinitie by thrice exceeding art Three persons one God made the world Of nothing framde this Mound of huge receipt When all was nothing but vnmeasurable great This Trinitie surpassing Dedalus This Master builder singular for skill Endewd with worlds of wealth and sumptuous In choise of change yet changelesse resting still Doth boast the endlesse riches of his will Displaies his natiue power and heauenly science And giues to all blaspheming Momes defiance Mount who so list vnto the wheluing spheeres As scorning of these mouldie parts belowe Aboue the heauens let others fetch carreers And ouer bound those balls of sparkling show Swell they with pride of loftie things they know Let them enioie the counsell of the highest And in his courts let them approch the nighest And let some other lowe conceited wight Take countercourse and cowchant to the ground Creepe in these muddie obiects next his sight As wholie in these lowlie kennels drownd Searching what force in pettie works is found And finding there some notes of Gods owne glorie Eclipse the same by telling of the storie Belowe the former but aboue the last I traine my muse Mediocria firma medio tutissimus ibis amidst the midmost aire There shall she houer in proportion placde And peizd with equall wings of heedie care Least soaring high hir flight she might impaire Where blazing lamps would sindge hir winged traine Or buzzing lowe the dampe might slug hir vaine I please my selfe in prying vp and downe And eying of the worlds faire countenance Wherein Gods image makes reflexion As in the mirror of his excellence His Godhead set in this worlds purueiance The Godhead is seen in the visible things of the world By transparence doth fill my feeble eies Which may not view his brightnes otherwise If he that lookes against the fierie sparks Of glittring Phebus gets a sunne-burnd face If he that with a fixed eie sight marks That flaming Globe although from distant place Is purblind onelie with that fulgent grace Who can sustaine the daunting lookes of him That lightning-like disperseth life and lim Of him that separate in heauenlie throne Did build this statelie Theater beside For men to soiourne and conuerse vpon Where liuelie prints of maiestie abide Though but a glimpse of his power is descride And yet his Godhead grauen in this frame Doth teach our childish thoughts to spell the same Great Father whom no lumpish braines conceiue How dost thon intimate to humane sense The knowledge of thy selfe and giuest vs leaue To feele thy presence in this worlds contents And read thy glorie in these monuments Our fingers feeling nostrils drawing sauour Our palate tasting all bewraie thy fauour From highest throne thou sendst a roring noise And to instruct vs plaist the Orator Heauen starts to vnderstand thy thundring voice And speakes to vs as thine Ambassador Soothlie each creature is thine auditor The world a publike schoole where we may learne Such proper lessons as thy praise concerne This frame like to a pullie heaues our sprights And moues our thoughts to climbe by winding stares Aboue the stories of those heauenlie lights Diuers comparisons to shew the vse of the worldly frame to Christian considerations The mightie God this world a shop prepares To make a publike shew of his rich wares This world like to a bridge conducts the stranger By gulfe of Gods deepe secret without danger And not vnlike a thin transparent clowd Yeelds passage to the beames of Phebus light Not Phebus whom Latonaes wombe did shrowd Lighting by day and lurking in the night But such a sunne as alway staies in sight In thickest darknes still persists to shine And neuer stowpes beneath Orizons line Heere as in semi-circled Theater Loue Iustice Righteousnes and Maiestie Present themselues which expert actors are Their parts discharging so ingeniously That humane sense is rapt aboue the skie This world a booke in folio doth proclame With letters capitall the Authors name Each kind a page each sundrie shape a line Each creature is a character to teach Each worke a vowell sounding discipline And all the world doth consonantly preach But we are trewants which from masters reach On toies and gawds do set their wanton harts Respecting them more than regarding arts Our eies be wandring on the babish gaies And flowres that fill the
