Comparison.

These Birds are Emblems of those men, that shall
Ere long possess the Heavens, their All in All.
They are each of a divers shape, and kind;
To teach, we of all Nations there shall find.
They are some great, some little, as we see;
To shew, some great, some small, in Glory be.
Their flying diversly, as we behold;
Do shew Saints Joys will there be manifold.
53

Some glide, some mount, some flutter, and some do,
In a mixt way of flying, glory too.
And all to shew each Saint, to his content,
Shall roul and tumble in that Firmament.
