But let me rath'r admire, then bring into dispute
The thrice-Almighties might; and here let flesh be mute.

For all is one with him, the saying and the deede.

The skarr'd inhabitants of that same floating Cell:
Who now a peace-offering deuoutly sacrifise,
And from his Alter make perfumes to Heau'n arise
Of purer kinded beasts, and therewithall let flie
Zele-winged, heartie prayers; and thus aloud they crie.
