20. On Actions.

Do not the Silver-breasted Rivers go
Back to the wealthy Seas from whence they flow?
So to Gods glory must our Actions tend,
As in him they begin, so must they end.
As from the Sacred Fountain of his Grace
They first took rise, so to their proper place
They must retire, the Ocean of his Glory
Must swallow up our Actions transitory;
May I, what ever I assay to do,
Make God my Alpha, and Omega too.
