                                Of Constellation, fatall Destinie,<lb/>
                                Or of those false Decrees, that publish'd are<lb/>
                                By foolish braines, thy Conscience terrifie.<lb/>
                                To thee, these Figures better Doctrines teach,<lb/>
                                Than those blind Stoikes, who necessitate<lb/>
                                Contingent things ; and, arrogantly teach<lb/>
                                (For doubtlesse truths) their dreames of changelesse Fate.<lb/>
                                Though true it bee, that those things which pertaine,<lb/>
                                As Ground-workes, to Gods glorie, and our blisse,<lb/>
                                Are fixt, for aye, unchanged to remaine;<lb/>
                                All, is not such, that thereon builded is.<lb/>
                                God, gives men power, to build on his Foundation ;<lb/>
                                And, if their workes bee thereunto agreeing,<lb/>
                                No Power-created, brings that Variation,<lb/>
                                Which can disturbe, the Workmans happy being.<lb/>
                                Nor, of those workings, which required are,<lb/>
                                Is any made unpossible, untill<lb/>
                                Mans heart begins that Counsell to preferre,<lb/>
                                Which is derived from a crooked-will.<lb/>
                                The Starres, and many other things, incline<lb/>
                                Our nat'rall Constitutions, divers wayes;<lb/>
                                But, in the Soule, God plac'd a Power-divine,<lb/>
                                Which, all those Inclinations, overswayes.<lb/>
                                Yea, God, that Prudence, hath infus'd, by Grace,<lb/>
                                Which, till Selfe-will, and Lust, betrayes a man,<lb/>
                                Will keepe him firmely, in that happy place,<lb/>
                                From whence, no Constellation move him can.<lb/>
                                And, this is that, whereof I notice take,<lb/>
                                From this great Starre, enclosed by a Snake.<lb/>
