_The Patriarches._

And let thy Patriarches Desire 55 (Those great Grandfathers of thy Church, which saw More in the cloud, then wee in fire, Whom Nature clear'd more, then us Grace and Law, And now in Heaven still pray, that wee May use our new helpes right,) 60 Be satisfy'd, and fructifie in mee; Let not my minde be blinder by more light Nor Faith, by Reason added, lose her sight.
