It had been one, as if his word had fak?, I will henceforth, that man no manjkall be.
For what is man without a moving mind, Which hath a judging oc/V, and chuiing will?' Now, if God's pow'r fliould her ele&ion bind, Her motions then would ceafe and (land all ftill.
And why did God in man this Soul infufe, But that he mould his Mzker know and Jaw ?
Now, if love be compell'd, and cannot chufe, How can it grateful, or thank- worthy prore ?
Love OFTHESOUL. 39 Love muft fi ee-liearted be, and volun...tary ; And not inchanted, or by fate conftrain'd : Nor like that love, which did Ulyjfes carry To Circe's ifle, with mighty charms enchain"d.
Befides, were we unchangeable in ivill, And of a ivit that nothing could mif-deem ; Equal to God ; whofe wifdom fh'meth ftill, And never errs, we might ourfelves elteem.
. So that if man would be unvariable, He muft be God, or like a rock or tree j Tor e'en the perfect angels were not ftabie, But had a fall more defperate than we.
Then let us praife that pow'r, which makes us be - Men a* we are, and reft contented fo j And knowing man's fall was curiolity, Admire God's counfels, which we cannot know.
