gifts of skill as few men apprehend,
Must needes be great to dignifie the man,
To whom it pleaseth God such gifts to lend,
Though but one gift: If so, what say we then
Where sundry gifts of equall great degree
In one selfe person well conioyned be?
Must needes be great to dignifie the man,
To whom it pleaseth God such gifts to lend,
Though but one gift: If so, what say we then
Where sundry gifts of equall great degree
In one selfe person well conioyned be?
Lawes knowledge of it selfe withouten more
Hath made some great, yet not without desart.
And hath it so? what say we then to store
Of Lawes great skill, and depth of learned Art?
I say that he in whom such gifts are found,
Is great by Right vpon true Reasons ground:
Such one are you: O still, then still abound in righteousnesse.
Hath made some great, yet not without desart.
And hath it so? what say we then to store
Of Lawes great skill, and depth of learned Art?
I say that he in whom such gifts are found,
Is great by Right vpon true Reasons ground:
Such one are you: O still, then still abound in righteousnesse.
