172. GOOD AND BAD.

The bad among the good are here mix'd ever;
The good without the bad are here plac'd never.


173. SIN.

Sin no existence; nature none it hath,
Or good at all, as learned Aquinas saith.


174. MARTHA, MARTHA.

The repetition of the name made known
No other than Christ's full affection.


175. YOUTH AND AGE.

God on our youth bestows but little ease;
But on our age most sweet indulgences.


176. GOD'S POWER.

God is so potent, as His power can
Draw out of bad a sovereign good to man.


177. PARADISE.

Paradise is, as from the learn'd I gather,
A choir of bless'd souls circling in the Father.
