The Preacher tells us, that beneath the Sun

Eccles. 1. 9. and 3. 15.


There's no new thing: for, That which shall be done,
Hath been before, And what is now a doing
Shall acted be again, in Times ensuing.
Let none be shaken, therefore, in his Mind,
If he Gods People now Reviled find,
Reproach't with bitter Words, and Vilifi'd,
With filthy Slanders loaded, and bely'd
By Wicked men: Such was the Churche's state
Of old, as sacred Story doth relate.
