198. Of perseverance in piety.

Those yoaked Kine, that drew the Arke unto
Beth-shemesh; though their Calves did bleat apace,
Did to their journies end directly goe:
So when Christs yoake upon our neckes we place;
Though our fond lusts importune us to stay,
Yet hold we on, and keepe the heavenly way.
