To him that hath, shall be giuer; and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, that which it seemes he hath.
Mat. 25. 29.
His
Word is Truth, that said, to him that hath,
shall still be giuen; and, from him that lackes
Shall be withdrawne that which he holds, with scath;
so, this World makes men, made; & marr'd men, wracks.

Shall be withdrawne that which he holds, with scath;
so, this World makes men, made; & marr'd men, wracks.
Who least doth lacke, hath most bestow'd on him;
for God and Men giue richest gifts to Kings:
So, he that doth in all abundance swimme,
each Hand to him much more Abundance brings.

What meanes this Mysterie so mysticall!
what! World, begin'st thou now, with Age, to dote,
That Thou dost giue some All; some, nought at all:
and, sinck'st some, sincking, to make swimmers flote?
I know now what this meanes; but, this I know,
Tis too much to be loth'd, to be too low.
