Odes In Imitation of the Seaven Penitential Psalmes | ||
Sacrificium sub lege Naturæ.
When God created man, and rule vnto him gaue,Of creatures all on earth, and eu'ry earthly thing,
And knowlege of his God, did in his hart engraue,
Subiection so to know, vnto his soueraigne King:
Then for to know and yeild, what homage hee would haue,
Nature by her instinckt, vnto his mynde did bring,
And Sacrifise it was, and well accepted than,
Thus mannes adoring God, with sacrifise began.
