Its stubborn Purpose from the Soul can take,
And bid it to its inmost Centre shake,
When Thunders, bellowing thro' th' affrighted Skies,
Would find it calm: herein we recognize
A Power, ever jealously awake
Within the human Soul, there to maintain
Of divine Things the due Supremacy:
These hold Communication, and reply
By Means which Sense would penetrate in vain,
Godlike to Godlike speaking, and still by
The Spirit Spirit loving to constrain!
