We doe acknowledge (as this Emblem showes) That Fruits and Flowres, and many pleasant-things, From out the Ground, in ev'ry season growes; And, that unto their being, helpe it brings. Yet, of it selfe, the Ground, we know is dull, And, but a Willing-patient, whereupon The Sunne, with Beames, and Vertues wonderfull, Prepareth, and effecteth, what is done. We, likewise, doe acknowledge, that our eyes Indowed are with faculties of Seeing, And, with some other nat'rall properties, Which are as much our owne, as is our Being. However, till the Sunne imparts his light, We finde, that we in darkenesse doe remaine, Obscured in an everlasting night; And, boast our Seeing-faculties, in vaine. So, we, by nature, have some nat'rall powers: But, Grace, must those abilities of ours First move; and, guide them, still, in moving, thus, To worke with God, when God shall worke on us: For, God so workes, that, no man he procures Against his nature, ought to chuse, or shun: But, by his holy-Spirit, him allures; And, with sweet mildnesse, proveth ev'ry one. The Sunne is faultlesse of it, when the birth Of some bad Field, is nothing else but Weeds : For, by the selfe-same Sun shine, fruitfull Earth Beares pleasant Crops, and plentifully breeds. Thus, from our selves, our Vices have increase, Our Vertues, from the Sunne of Righteousnesse.

The Ground brings forth all needfull things; But, from the Sunne, this vertue springs.
