Other Sonnets vpon other Subiects, 21

THe ignorance of the Omnipotent,
Into two Branches doth it selfe diuide,
Atheisme, and Superstition, either bent
From Truth, and in their backward bent abide.
The first, incountring Natures stiff, and hard,
Begetts in them scorne of Religion:
The last, with supple Natures, more afeard,
In them ingenders Superstition.
These, to Religion, are the two Extreames;
Twixt whome the rests, a Vertue most Diuine!
Crowned with three in One rare Diadems,
By Heau'ns great Thre in One, or single-Trine!
These Two bewitche the World; for, at this daie
Most pray amisse, or els they misse to pray.
