Ok ! favor give, and grant me grace To touch the appointed end. Wherewith inspired I may behold The secrets ot thy reign. And others teach, and with my verse Immortal honour gain. A sort there are that do suppose The ends of every thing Above the heavens to consist. And farther not to spring ; So that beyond them nothing is. And that above the skies. Hath nature never power to climb. But there amazed lies. Which unto me appeareth false^ As reason doth me teach; For if the end of aU be there. Wh...ere skies no farther reach, Why hath not God created more ? Because he had not skill, How more to make ; Lis cunning stay*d And broken was his will ? Digitized by LjOOQIC Or was it 'eause he had not pow'r ? But truth both these denies ; For pow'r of God hath never end. Nor bound his knowledge ties. No kind of thing may God conclude. Nor limits him assign. Nor proper force doth once restrain The Majesty divine. Great things I tell, and reason great Shall also this defend. If any thing the pow'r of God May end or comprehend.
