Therein, you all Occurrences may finde,
VVhich necessarily, in any kind,
Shall unto Faith or Manners appertain,
So long as in this world men do remain.
There are exemplifide, all humane failings,
All Changes, Hopes, Fears, Losings, and Prevailings,
Of Enemies or Friends: Things Good and Evil;
The Practices and Projects of the Devil;
Things Metaphysical, products of Nature
And Grace, with what concerneth ev'ry creature;
All Promises and Threatnings, which belong
To Faith or Unbeleef, to Right or VVrong,
VVith all things else that pertinent may be
To ev'ry Faculty, and each Degree,
VVhich necessarily, in any kind,
Shall unto Faith or Manners appertain,
So long as in this world men do remain.
