THE MINDE OF THE Frontispiece.
Time censures all things, Darknes envies Time,Light from above, doth in its beautie shine,
Discovering sinfull plots; 'cause 'tis divine,
True Life is honoured, finding out the crime.
Th' impartiall Judge foreshewes the horrid fate,
That Sinne and Death will be unfortunate.
Bold Ignorance doth plead: with Sinne he'll dwell.
Death brings Attornies for to plead his cause,
The Grave-maker being idle, blames the Lawes,
The Divell takes his vassall backe to hell.
All their defence does prove but emptie breath,
Sinnes by the sinner slaine, Life conquers Death.
