On GODS UBIQVITARY PRESENCE.
No gloomy shades, nor darkned face of nightCan shrow'd a sinner, from the quick-ey'd sight
Of all-discerning Heaven: God doth rule
Beyond the controverted coasts of Thule.
And his unbounded justice doth controle,
The frozen vertices of either Pole.
All inter-fluent seas, all Regions stand
Subjected to the power of his command.
Then let not fancy'd secrecy invite
Thy deeds of darknesse to out-black the night,
Nor though some sorraine Clime thou wandrest in,
Where no know'n face can argue thee of sin,
Dare to let-loose thy rebell-soule, but know
There is a God above, see's all below:
Who shall hereafter be thy judge, and then
Thy bare-fac'd crimes, unmask't before all men,
32
Will aggravate, that prompted to, those evills.
