THE JNDƲCTION.
BEfore the Lord distinguisht time or place,
Each creatures forme lay open to his face;
And in the presence of their Maker were,* 1.1
Though not then extant as t'us now they are:
For his all-seeing Essence was the glasse,
In which he saw, what after came to passe.
Yet he that view'd them in one onely act,* 1.2
And in one Chaos did them all compact;
Would not in one day, but in sixe dayes space,
Make them apparent in their proper place:
That Man might know it was his will and pleasure,
To order them, in Number, Weight, and Measure.
In this eternall powerfull operation,* 1.3
Which GOD did explicate in the Creation;
Out of himselfe, as Transient unto us
He shew'd his love, and mercy plenteous:
But in his owne worke wrought internally,
He doth reveale more power and mystery.
That same internall secret power is it,* 1.4
By which he did the Word, his Sonne beget:
VVhich worke continues, and is never done;
And yet he hath begot a perfect Sonne:
Much like the Beame which from the Sunne doth rise,
Alwayes begot, yet perfect to our eyes.

But his externall worke my Muse must show,
As transient from himselfe to things below:
And passe his inselfe-worke so infinite,
To speake somewhat of this, so exquisite;
* 1.5Made with such wisedome, and variety,
As did expresse the Makers Deity.
