THE ARGVMENT of the sixth Tractate.
The
Heart of Man bee'ng so adverse
To Goodnesse, and so apt to pierce
Things most Retruse; a course exprest,
On what it chiefely ought to rest.
A Scruteny made, where and when
The Spirits were created. Then,
Of Lucifer, the chiefe and prime
Of Angels, in the first of Time:
His Splendor Pride, and how he fell
In battell by Prince Michael:
Their Fight, their Armes; the Triumph great
Made in the Heav'ns for his defeat.
Their Number that revolted, and
How long they in their Grace did stand.
Some other Doubts may plaine appeare,
Which to this Argument cohere.
