47. On Mans co-operation.

VVe are not Blocks: We must expect the Call;
And, being cal'd, must move, and rise withall:
The Voyce were needlesse, and as good be dumb,
As, with the Call, not give the pow'r to come:
Deserves he food, that thinkes it vaine to gape?
Christ takes his Spouse by Contract, not by Rape.
