We oft see miracles (I must confess)
But, I would fain see truth and righteousness
Ascend the Throne; that, we at length might feast
Upon that Peace, whereof we had a taste;
And, on those mercies which in little time
GOD would vouchsafe, if we reli'd on him,
And wilfully pursu'd not still that course
Which to destroy our hopes, may him enforce;
And which, by long neglect of good endeavour,
Are now in hazard to be lost for ever.
