Similies on the same subiect.
AS hell was made to punish sinnes proud guilt,
Euen so was heauen for comfort of the iust.
As base clothes ill become a princes court,
So none can enter heauen but purely clad.
As trauailers desire their natiue homes,
So should all soules long for their heauenly home.
As hells obscuritie excells all darke,
So nothing with heauens brightnesse may compare.
As Iacob for his Rachell thought sower sweet,
So we for heauen ought deeme all else but vile.
As all ioyes in this life are fraile and vaine,
So none but heauens ioyes are perfect gaine.
