189.NP1.HE1 %1D%5r%6 Dunne to M%5r%6 Tilman /after his taking of Orders%2.
189.NP1.001 Thou, whose diviner Soule hath caus'd Thee now
189.NP1.002 To put thy hand unto the holy plough,
189.NP1.003 Making Lay scornings of the Ministry
189.NP1.004 Not an Impediment, but Victory,
189.NP1.005 What bringst Thou home with thee? How in Thy mind
189.NP1.006 Affected since the Vintage? Dost Thou find
189.NP1.007 New thoughts and stirring in Thee? And as Steele,
189.NP1.008 Touch't with a Loadestone dost new motions feele!
189.NP1.009 Or as a Shipp after much paine and care,
189.NP1.010 For Iron and Cloth bringst home rich Indian Ware?
189.NP1.011 Hast Thou thus traffiqu't, but>%Yt%Z< With farr more gaine
189.NP1.012 Of noble goods, and with lesse time and paine?
189.NP1.013 Art Thou the same Materialls as before,
189.NP1.014 Only is the Stampe changed, but no more?
189.NP1.015 And as new crowned Kings, alter the Face,
189.NP1.016 But not the Monies Substance; so hath Grace
189.NP1.017 Changd only Gods old image by creation,
189.NP1.018 To Christs new stampe at this Thy Coronation?
189.NP1.019 Or as wee paint Angells with wings, because
189.NP1.020 They beare Gods image, and proclaime His laws;
189.NP1.021 Since Thou must do the like, and so must move:
189.NP1.022 Art thou new feathred with celestiall Love?
189.NP1.023 Deare tell mee where Thy purchase lies, and show
189.NP1.024 What Thy advantage is above, below?
189.NP1.025 But if Thy gainings do surmount expression,
189.NP1.026 Why doth the foolish World scorne that profession
189.NP1.027 Whose joies passe speach? Why do they think't unfitt
189.NP1.028 That Gentry should joyne Families with itt?
189.NP1.029 Would they thinke you that the whole day were spent
189.NP1.030 In dressing, mistressing, and complement?
189.NP1.031 Alas poore joies, but poorer men! whose trust
189.NP1.032 Seemes richly placed is refined dust,
189.NP1.033 (For such are Clothes and Beauty;) w%5ch%6 though gay,
189.NP1.034 Are at the best but as sublimed clay:
189.NP1.035 Let then the world Thy Calling disrespect,
189.NP1.036 But goe thou on, and pitty their neglect.
189.NP1.037 What Function is so noble, as to bee
189.NP1.038 Embassadour to God and Destiny,
189.NP1.039 To open life, to give Kingdomes to more [p. 232
189.NP1.040 Then Kings give dignities, to keepe Heavens doore?
189.NP1.041 Maries prerogative was to beare Christ, so
189.NP1.042 Tis Preachers to convay Him; For they doe
189.NP1.043 As Angells out of clouds from Pulpits speake,
189.NP1.044 And blesse beneath the poore, the lame, and weake.
189.NP1.045 If then th'Astronomers, whereas they spy
189.NP1.046 A new found Starr, their Opticks magnify:
189.NP1.047 How brave are those, who with their engines can
189.NP1.048 Bring Man to Heaven, and so Heaven to Man?
189.NP1.049 These are Thy titles and preheminences;
189.NP1.050 In whom must meet Gods graces, mans offences:
189.NP1.051 And so the Heavens w%5ch%6 begett all things here,
189.NP1.052 And th' Earth our Mother w%5ch%6 these things doth beare
189.NP1.053 Are both in Thee and in Thy Calling knitt,
189.NP1.054 And make Thee now a blest Hermaphrodite.
