ASIA.
Asia , which only, glories to haveieenA spotlesse man, where Canaan hath been
A type of Heaven, and the blest abode
Of the whole world's creator Iacob's God,
Where all the sacred pen-men once did preach,
Nay, where the Lord himself vouchsaf'd to teach,
Wallow's in darknesse now their Sun is set,
With bended knees they crouch to Mahomet;
And in the stead of Sinai's Law-Divine,
The Talmude is receiv'd in Palestine.
