015.Y06.005 Of w%5th%6 y%5t%6 zone, like Heavens glistering,
015.Y06.006 But A farre brighter world encompassing;
015.Y06.007 Vnpinne y%5t%6 spangled breastplate w%5ch%6 you weare,
015.Y06.008 Y%5t%6 th'eyes of busy fooles may be stopt there;

015.Y06.019 In such white robes Heav'ns Angells use to be
015.Y06.020 Receiv'd by men; Thou Angell bring'st w%5th%6 thee
015.Y06.021 A Heav'n like Mahomets Paradise, & though
015.Y06.022 All Spiritts walke in white, we eas'ly know
015.Y06.023 By this, these Angells fro%M an evill Sprite,

015.Y06.034 As Soules vnbodyed, soe bodyes vncloath'd must be,
015.Y06.035 To tast these ioyes; gems w%5ch%6 you weomen vse,
015.Y06.036 Are like Atlanta's balls cast in mens viewes,
015.Y06.037 Y%5t%6 when A fooles eye lighteth on A gemme,
015.Y06.038 His earthly soule may covet their's, not them;
015.Y06.039 Like pictures, or like bookes gay cov'ring made
015.Y06.040 ffor Laymen are all weomen thus array'd;
015.Y06.041 Themselves are misticke bookes, w%5ch%6 onely we
015.Y06.042 Who%M their imputed grace will deify,
015.Y06.043 Must see reveal'd; then since y%5t%6 I may know,
