On the same

Those various Species which thine eye may look
Vpon i'th' Volumne of the worlds great Book,
Six days was Midwife too; and then God ceas'd
From working, yet from working doth not rest:
For he it is supporteth all things still,
By the Eternal purpose of his will.
My friend (kind Reader) sends thee nothing less
Then all-things pressing, from the sweating Press:
A worke, some years agoe by him compil'd,
At fifteen years of age, a very child:
The Muses nurst him on Parnassus tops,
And fil'd his Quill with Heleconian drops;
Which if thou mind, I make no question of it
But thou wilt find pleasure co-chaind with profit.
Tho. Carter. Cleric.
