Social Commentaries
Faith a fast friend
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
Of Moses body God tooke care,
Nor would allow the Fiend a share
In it; much lesse will he forgoe
A soule (deare-bought with deadly woe)
If but her hand of faith be laid
On his strong Arme, that all doth ayde.
