The Argument enlarged.
When-as by cursed DisobedienceMan first did fall from perfect Innocence,
He purchas'd to Him-selfe, and his whole Race
The gain of endless Pain, the loss of Grace.
Heav'n, Hell, Earth, Sea, Wife, Children, all maintain
His wofull gain of Loss, his sense of Pain.
Whose cursed state by blessed Consultation
Is blessed made through perfect Consolation.
So loss of Pain at last he findes in this,
That Life must die, that Death may bring him Bliss.
