Upon the HOLY BIBLE . MEthinks 't was witty that Minerva's Fowls , The Greeks would make to be the very Owls ; Sure 't was to shew , that Natural Learning 's blind , Till Light from Revelation , it did find Let other Merchants , into Toads-Heads look , For Pearls of Wisdom : But give me God's Book . Mens Books , the best , shall never fit my Head ; With God's , I 'll Rise ; with God's , I 'll go to Bed. Ah empty Bodley ! Emptyer Vatican ! Bible makes Saint ; your Books scarce make a Man ; God's Book 's more Bright then Sun , more loud then Thunder ; 'T is Light and Law from Heaven , to all that 's under . Gaze on Astronomers , on your splended Trains ; In Starry-Houses , Stable all your Brains ! My Bible's Sun and Moon and Stars to me ; The Star that Leads , to all I care to see ! Away , ye Sons of Physick ! True , your Steel Opens my disaffected Spleen , I feel ! Castoreum relieves my Brain when 't akes , And Sulphur from my Lungs their Loading takes : But Bible's Food , and Feast , and Physick too ; Feeds , Chears , and Cures , as nought of yours can do ! Bible makes Lightsom still , and never Light ; Still Merry , never Vain ; Down , and Vpright !
Verses found written in the BIBLE of the Right Reverend Bishop Prideaux . THis is the Volumn , in whose precious Leaves , Mysterys of Heavenly Treasure , God bequeathes ; Objects and Subjects , of each Christian Eye : By these who Lives , by Death shall never Dye ! Here Shines the Sun of Grace , diffusing wide His Quickning Beams on all , from side to side ! Here God and Man do both Embrace each other ; Met in one Person , Heaven and Earth do Kiss : Here a Pure-Virgin doth become a Mother ; And bear a Son , that the World's Father is . Here comes True Bliss 〈◊〉 , flying from on high ; To hale us out of Hells dar●● Misery .
