XII: Some Verses: Sonnet, To The Authour

Of knowne effects, grounds too precisely sought, Young Naturalists oft Atheists old doe proue. And some who naught, saue who first moues, can moue, Scorne mediate meanes, as wonders still were wrought: But tempring both, thou dost this difference euen, Diuine Physician, physicall Diuine; Who soules and bodies help'st, dost heere designe From earth by reason, and by faith from heauen, With mysteries, which few can reach aright: How heauen and earth are match'd, and worke in man; Who wise and holy ends, and causes scan. Loe true Philosophy, perfections height, For this is all, which we would wish to gaine: In bodies sound, that mindes may sound remaine.
