On Devout Dorinda,
Reading the Westminster Confession of Faith.
That Book I own is full of Grace and Wit,But 'twas for Men, and not for Angels writ;
Why doth my Cherub humane Lectures read;
'Tis Angels Knowledge best expounds the Creed.
O thou'rt a Volume fraught with Grace and Sense,
L'Estrange did never so much Wit licence.
You are the kind Instructress of the Age,
Thy Lifes a Transcript of the sacred Page:
Then throw that useless Book upon the Shelf,
For thou art all Divinity thy self.
