_The Prophets._

Thy Eagle-sighted Prophets too, Which were thy Churches Organs, and did sound 65 That harmony, which made of two One law, and did unite, but not confound; Those heavenly Poëts which did see Thy will, and it expresse In rythmique feet, in common pray for mee, 70 That I by them excuse not my excesse In seeking secrets, or Poëtiquenesse.
