And Fast By, Hanging In A Golden

Of Man's First Disobedience, And The Fruit/of That Forbidden Tree, Whose Mortal Taste/brought Death Into The World, And All Our Woe,/with Loss Of Eden, Till One Greater Man/restore Us, And Regain The Blissful Seat,/sing Heavenly Muse

The Very Essence Of Truth Is Plainness And Brightness; The Darkness And Crookedness Is Our Own. The Wisdom Of God Created Understanding, Fit And Proportionable To Truth, The Object And End Of It, As The Eye To The Thing Visible.

The Whole Freedom Of Man Consists Either In Spiritual Or Civil Liberty.

Sufficient To Have Stood, Though Free To Fall.

Consider First, That Great Or Bright Infers Not Excellence.
