TEXT_EXPL_XML <p>When I beheld this Picture of a Boat,<lb/>
                                (Which on the raging Waves doth seeme to float)<lb/>
                                Forc'd onward, by the current of the Tide,<lb/>
                                Without the helpe of Anchor, Oare or Guide,<lb/>
                                And, saw the Motto there, which doth imply,<lb/>
                                That shee commits her selfe to Destinie ;<lb/>
                                Me thinkes, this Emblem sets out their estate,<lb/>
                                Who have ascribed ev'ry thing to Fate ;<lb/>
                                And dreame, that howsoe're the businesse goe,<lb/>
                                Their Worke, nor hinders, neither helpes thereto.<lb/>
                                The leaking Ship, they value as the sound:<lb/>
                                Hee that's to hanging borne, shall ne're bee drown'd;<lb/>
                                And, men to happinesse ordain'd (say these)<lb/>
                                May set their Ship to float, as Fate shall please.<lb/>
                                This Fancie, springing from a mis-beleeving<lb/>
                                Of God's Decrees, and, many men deceiving,<lb/>
                                With shewes of Truth, both causeth much offence<lb/>
                                Against God's Mercies, and his Providence ;<lb/>
                                And brings to passe, that some to ruine runne,<lb/>
                                By their neglect of what they might have done.<lb/>
                                For, Meanes is to bee us'd, (if wee desire,<lb/>
                                The blessing of our safetie to acquire)<lb/>
                                Whose naturall effects, if God deny,<lb/>
                                Vpon his Providence wee must relye,<lb/>
                                Still practising what naturall aydes may bee,<lb/>
                                Vntill no likely ayd untride wee see.<lb/>
                                And, when this Non plus wee are forc'd unto,<lb/>
                                Stand still, wee may, and wayt what God will do.<lb/>
                                Hee that shall thus to Fate, his fortunes leave,<lb/>
                                Let mee bee ruin'd, if Shee him deceive.<lb/>
