THAT I have often been in love,
deep love,
A hundred doleful cities plainly prove.
By marriage have 1 never been disjointed ;
For Matrimony deals prodigious bows :
And ye far this nine itormy date, God

I've groan'd—and, thank my ftars,4tan

With love's dear paffian will I never war,

Rawing frafrs around his heart.
Wedlock's a saucy. fad, familiar state.
Where folks are very apt to fold and

Love keeps a modefl diftarce, is divine,
Obliging, and lays ev'ry thing (hat's fi.e.
Marriage, in epig<am so keen, and faiire.
Love feeketh always to oblige the fair ;
Full ofkind wishes end exalted hope :
M triage delires to lee ner in the dir,
Suspended, at .he bottom of the rope !
Love writes sweet sonnets, deals in tender
Then pull his right-cap oe'r his eyes an

How vain aid presumptuous,j\r a small and
inconsiderable body of men to exped to ingrefi

Th, immense height of the heavens, the

oblige us to confefs the omnipotence of

God is entire: poffeffmg nothing in

ofit, being disengaged from terleftrial or
corporeal substance. His attributes are
indivisible, like himfelf, because he posses
ses only his own'inherent qualities. The
child that is born without the appearance
of reason, is as near to his perfections as
the wisest philosopher.
To lift a corner of nature's veil is e
ncugh to difeover that the is the work of
his hands; but this fame nature has ap
peared so perfect to thufe who judged
I merely fromteeir senses, that the, have
,taken her for G d himf.lf. Their opio
iion was so much the more absurd, as they
gave to her the fame perfections which
they refufed to the god-head, under the
pretence that they were net able to com
prehend it : an. rror which teaches
;us that mankind abandon ihemfelves to
difpu.es at which common sense sh adders :
and that we cannot, without giving up
our natural understanding, be ignorant
that the universe was created by an abso
lute power, that preserves, and gives it
motion.
