Epig. 64. Of Religion .
Religion , is a Tree, fruitfull and faire,And must be planted in each Good Mans Heart;
The Root, is Labour, and the Fruit most rare,
Is Honour, euery Godly-Mans Desert.
And, well is't said, Men first were Gods by feare;
For, to feare God is Piety's first part:
Religions Root is bitter, better on high,
For, Feare's her Fount, her Riuer's Charity.
