                                (A Truth, which never justly was denayd)<lb/>
                                That, All the world is God's ; and that his hands<lb/>
                                Enclose the limits of the farthest Lands.<lb/>
                                The selfe same Truth affirmes, that likewise, there,<lb/>

                                That, those Inhabitants (whom some conceiv'd,<lb/>

                                Their labors, with advantage, doe employ,<lb/>
                                And, fetch their yearely Harvests home, with joy.<lb/>
                                Why then should wee, that in God's Vineyard live,<lb/>

                                Why should his Garden doubt of what it needs,<lb/>

                                Why should his Children, live in slavish feare,<lb/>
                                Since hee is kind to those that strangers are?<lb/>
                                Or, whither from his presence, can we flie,<lb/>

                                Where God affoords, to Flesh, her daily Bread ?<lb/>
