Epig. 34. To his loving fr. Mr Io. Price. Batc. of Divinitie.

Well may we liken Gods most sacred write,
Vnto the formes of Alcibiades:
Which outwardly look't plaine, and nothing bright
But inwardly, most like faire Goddesses:
So doth Gods word seeme rude, in outward face;
But the cleare spirit yeelds a shining grace.
