CHAP. X. A theme to think on.

[This soul's a substance and a reall thing]

This soul's a substance and a reall thing,
Which hath it selfe an actuall worke in night,
But neither from the senses power doth spring,
Nor from the bodies humours tempered right:
It God himselfe doth in the bodie make,
And man from this the name of man doth take.

[He that preferres not God fore all his race]

He that preferres not God fore all his race,
Amongst the sonnes of God deserues no place.
