Spirituall bondage
From Two Bookes of Epigrammes, and Epitaphs (1639), Book II
Social Commentaries
When Zedechiah must to Babel goe,
They blinded him, and heavy Chaines did throw
Vpon him: so when ignorance doth shut
Mens eyes, and indevotion fetters put
On their affects, how quickly are they gone
To th'horrours of infernall Babylon!
