To give the soul a goal delivery.
To deal their martial almes.
To suffer shipwrack of the soul.
And with his blood embrued
The blushing earth. Making a fatal rest to lul••
Him in the sleep of death, which clos'd his sight,
Shutting his eyes up in eternal night.
Taught him the way to his grave.
Driving the soul out at the yawning wound.
Uncase, dislodge, untenant, uncage a soule.
As when a spring conducting pipe doth break,
The waters at a little breach burst ou••,
And hissing through the airy regions smoke,
So ••lusht the blood.
