189.H05.HE1  %XTo M%5r%6 Tilman after he had /%Xtaken orders[.]
189.H05.001  Thou, whose diviner soule hath causd' thee nowe
189.H05.002  to put thy hand vnto the holy plough,
189.H05.003  makinge lay-scornings of the Ministery
189.H05.004  not an impediment but a victory,
189.H05.005  What bringst thou home with thee? howe is thy minde
189.H05.006  affected in the voyage? dost thou finde
189.H05.007  newe thoughts and stirringe in thee? and as steele
189.H05.008  touchd' with a Load-stone dost newe motions feele?
189.H05.009  or as a ship after much paine and care
189.H05.010  for yron and cloth bringst home rich Indian ware?
189.H05.011  hast thou thus traffique'd, but with farre more gaine
189.H05.012  of noble goodes, and with lesse time and paine?
189.H05.013  Art thou the same materialls as before,
189.H05.014  only the stampe is changed, but noe more?
189.H05.015  and as newe crowned kings alter the face
189.H05.016  but not the moneyes substance soe hath grace
189.H05.017  changd' only gods old Image by creac%Mon
189.H05.018  to christs newe birth at this thy coronac%Mon?
189.H05.019  Or as we painte angells with wings, because
189.H05.020  they beare gods message and proclaime his lawes,
189.H05.021  since thou must doe the like, and soe must moue,
189.H05.022  art thou newe feathered with celestiall loue?
189.H05.023  Deare, tell me where thy purchase lyes?[sic] and shewe
189.H05.024  what thy advantage is, aboue, belowe.
189.H05.025  But yf thy gaininge doe surmount expression,
189.H05.026  why doth the foolish world scorne that profession
189.H05.027  whose ioyes passe speech? why doe they thinkt' vnfitt
189.H05.028  that gentry should ioyne families with it?
189.H05.029  would they thinke it well yf the day were spent
189.H05.030  in dressinge, vndressinge and complement?
189.H05.031  Alas?[sic] poore ioyes, but poorer men whose trust
189.H05.032  seemes richly placed in refined dust: 
189.H05.033  for such are clothes and beauties, w%5ch%6, though gay [f.94;p.187]
189.H05.034  are at the best but as sublimed clay.
189.H05.035  Let then the world thy callinge dis-respect,
189.H05.036  but goe thou on, and pitty their neglect.
189.H05.037  What function is soe noble, as to be
189.H05.038  Embassadour to God and Destiny,
189.H05.039  to open life, and to giue kingdomes to more
189.H05.040  then kings giue dignities, to keepe heavens doore?
189.H05.041  Maryes prerogatiue was to beare christ, soe
189.H05.042  'tis preachers to convey him, for they doe
189.H05.043  as angells out of cloudes from pulpitts speake,
189.H05.044  and blesse the poore beneath, the lame, the weake.
189.H05.045  yf then th' Astronomers when-as they spy
189.H05.046  a newe found starre, theire Optickes magnify;
189.H05.047  howe braue are those, who with their engins can
189.H05.048  bringe man to heauen, and heaven[v:sic] to man?
189.H05.049  These are thy titles and p%5r%6heminencies
189.H05.050  In whome must meete gods graces, mens offences:
189.H05.051  and soe the heavens w%5ch%6 begett all thinges heere,
189.H05.052  and th'earth our mother w%5ch%6 doth those thinges beare,
189.H05.053  both these in thee are in thy callinge knitt,
189.H05.054  and make thee nowe a blest Hermophrodite.
