Now, whether this, or that way he encline,
The danger will be rather his, than mine.
Whatever shall succeed, which more or less
Obstructs th'enjoyment of our outward-peace,

Than ratling of three blew beans in a bladder;
So, GOD gives patience till the storm be past,
And Truth and righteousness prevail at last.
