SON. LXXIII.

THe difference is right great (a man may see) Twixt heauen and earth, twixt soule and body ours, Twixt God & man, heauens powre & earthly towres; As great the difference, in their vse must bee, By high, ambitious, and by wrathfull sword, Are earthly, transitory kingdomes gaynd; Humilitie with patient deed and word, To heauenly crowne and honour doth attaine: Man will his conquest with vaine glory staine; Heauens kingdom former pride forthwith deuowrs, It equals all estates, sects, skils, and powres, And makes the bodie well vnite remaine, Whereof the head is Christ, the members we, And held coheires of heauen with him we be.
