Lorenzo, this black brotherhood renounce:
Renounce St. Evremont, and read St. Paul.
Ere rapt by miracle, by reason wing'd,
His mounting mind made long abode in heaven.
This is freethinking,—unconfined to parts,—
To send the soul, on curious travel bent,
Through all the provinces of human thought;
To dart her flight through the whole sphere of man;
Of this vast universe to make the tour;
In each recess of space and time at home;
Familiar with their wonders; diving deep,
And, like a prince of boundless interests there,
Still most ambitious of the most remote;
To look on truth unbroken and entire;
Truth in the system, the full orb; where truths,
By truths enlighten'd and sustain'd, afford
An arch-like strong foundation, to support
The' incumbent weight of absolute, complete
Conviction: Here the more we press, we stand
More firm; who most examine, most believe.
Parts, like half-sentences, confound: the whole
Conveys the sense, and God is understood;
Who not in fragments writes to human race:
Read His whole volume, sceptic! then reply.
