Bvt turne aside,
Bout thousands foure (after this creature-light)
Messiah great (who lighteth euery man)
Creator-light he riseth out of darke,
Filling the Earth with gospels glittering shine:
Dispelling Bethers shadowes from the Iue,
Exhibiting of types the Substance true.

Then vnto Iaphets people stretcht those beames,
Our Britaine clime this light irradiates:
And seats it selfe within a prety mile.
Till (as all one cast into standing poole,
Begets one cyrcle, that enlargeth more)
So grew the faith, so grew the Christian lore.

Till (as all one cast into standing poole,

So grew the faith, so grew the Christian lore.
Our people cast away their hue of Woad,
The light corrected sauage vsages:
Of inhumaine and passing barbarous,
They soone exceld for ciuill cariage,
Such braue effects, Messiahs light did cause,
Such was the fruit of stooping to his lawes.

First darkenesse did inuade all Adams brood,
And wrapt vp all in seble ougly darke:
Dread Ignorance with mantle black orespreds,
The silly soule (a dreadfull thing to thinke)
Foule Sathans shrine set vp in ignorance
Where ziim, Iim, and vncouth Satires daunce,
And wrapt vp all in seble ougly darke:

Foule Sathans shrine set vp in ignorance
Where ziim, Iim, and vncouth Satires daunce,
But he that hal'd Light out of darkenesse guts,
Calls vnderstanding out of ignorance:
He by his word shines in his creatures minde,
Adding to Natures lamp, the light of heauen:
Light metaphisick, Lantherne to the soule,
Dispelling darkenesse as a scribed scrowle.

Jehi said Ælohim, Let be, and twas,
A working word, where he will haue it worke:
Nor maruell, for his sacred word effects
A Being where no Being was before.
His working Spirit (as fire and ayre) workes light,
And vnto fire and ayre compared right.

His working Spirit (as fire and ayre) workes light,
And vnto fire and ayre compared right.
As fire he burnes old Adams rotten sinne,
And flames the soule with zeale of holines:
Fire out of Churches Angels mouths do floe,
Consuming otherwise then El-iah did,
consuming lusts, that Salamander-wise
The Soule may liue in fyre, and bright his eyes.

To ayre this Spirit of Ælohim againe
Resembled is, for tempring heat and zeale:
As also for his breathing spirituall life,
For absent him, and liuing are but dead.
As trees and plants deuoyd of ayre do wither,
So voyde this spirit, all dyes that commeth hither.

Want of this fyre was blam'd in Laodice:
Want of this ayre (as Iohn in Platinos sawe)
Was cause of spritall trees and herbes their deaths,
God breathing not his Gospell in their hearts:
Some earthly Angels much with-held it back,
Till Eli-shebet largely cur'd that lack.

A vaile of vnknowen language blinded most,
And most in darke did mumble Mattins vp.
No sooner Iah said Jehi, Let it be:
But sacred light enwreathd our Hemisphere.
None bark at that but Goblins, Bats and Owles,
The Locust crue and age of vncleane Fowles.

Let light be, saith our text (God loueth Light)
And workes of light beseeme his glittring shine:
But touching Darke, text saith not, Let it be,
For Black is but an absence of the light.
Nor workes of darkensse Æhim approues,
Light, workes of light, he likes and only loues.

Then hauing calld vs out of darkenes vaile
Into his glorious light, light wounderfull:
Duty exacteth that our workes shine forth,
For causing Glory to great Ehiahs name
The prince of darkenesse he frō soule doth sander:
And weds it to the Lord of light. A wonder!

A wondrous thing to rise from graue of sinne,
From Earths black cauernes, into matchlesse light.
A sillie Lambe dropping from dams darke wombe,
Leapes and exults to spie light naturall.
Much more should we pertaking light diuine,
The Image of our God, cœlestiall shine.
