Lasciviousness is known to be
The sister to saturity.


139. TEARS.

God from our eyes all tears hereafter wipes,
And gives His children kisses then, not stripes.


140. GOD'S BLESSING.

In vain our labours are whatsoe'er they be,
Unless God gives the benedicite.


141. GOD, AND LORD.

God is His name of nature; but that word
Implies His power when He's called the Lord.


142. THE JUDGMENT-DAY.
God hides from man the reck'ning day, that he
May fear it ever for uncertainty;
That being ignorant of that one, he may
Expect the coming of it every day.


143. ANGELS.

Angels are called gods; yet of them, none
Are gods but by participation:
As just men are entitled gods, yet none
Are gods of them but by adoption.


144. LONG LIFE.

The longer thread of life we spin,
The more occasion still to sin.


145. TEARS.

The tears of saints more sweet by far
Than all the songs of sinners are.

That manna, which God on His people cast,
Fitted itself to ev'ry feeder's taste.


147. REVERENCE.

True rev'rence is, as Cassiodore doth prove,
The fear of God commix'd with cleanly love.
