Prayer the Church`s banquet, angel`s age,
God`s breath in man returning to his birth,
The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgramage,
The Christian plummet sounding heav`n and earth:
Engine against th` Almightie, sinner`s-towre,
Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,
The six-daies` world-transposing in an houre,
A kinde of tune, which all things heare and feare;
Softnesse, and peace, and joy, and love, and blisse,
Exalted Manna, gladnesse of the best,
Heaven in ordinarie, man well drest,
The milkie way, the bird of paradise.
Church-bels beyond the starres heard, the soul`s bloud,
The land of spices, something understood.
