159. CHRIST'S SADNESS.

Christ was not sad, i' th' garden, for His own
Passion, but for His sheep's dispersion.


160. GOD HEARS US.

God, who's in heaven, will hear from thence;
If not to th' sound, yet to the sense.


161. GOD.

God, as the learned Damascene doth write,
A sea of substance is, indefinite.
The learned Damascene, i.e., St. John of Damascus.


162. CLOUDS.

He that ascended in a cloud, shall come
In clouds descending to the public doom.


163. COMFORTS IN CONTENTIONS.

The same who crowns the conqueror, will be
A coadjutor in the agony.


164. HEAVEN.

Heaven is most fair; but fairer He
That made that fairest canopy.


165. GOD.

In God there's nothing, but 'tis known to be
Even God Himself, in perfect entity.
