[The more vnlike to God, the worse the Man]
The more vnlike to God, the worse the Man;
Things most like Gods vnlike, are most vile things:
God Brightnesse is, with Him it first began;
The Deuill is darkenesse, and from him it springs.
Who's bright, or loueth brightnesse, is like God:
Who's darke, or Darkenesse loues, is like the Deuil:
Who then in Darkedesse liues, or makes abode,
Doth liue like Gods vnlike, the Fount of Euill.
To liue, or die alone, it is all one;
Saue that, of both extreames, to die is best;
The Beasts most brute, delight to liue alone:
And whosoe liueth soe, liues like a Beast:
I cannot thinke that Men such Beasts will bee:
For, Men, and Beasts lyue with their like we see.
