5. Sonnets in praise of Eminency or a publike Life, 1

WEalth of Heau'ns Heau'n, and want of Hell of Hells:
Angells renowne, and Mens euangeliz'd:
The Summ, of all their All imparadiz'd;
Glorious Elier, that it selfe excells!
Blacknesse, Antipodes: Fowlenesse, Opposite:
Mindes ioye, Ioyes blisse, and Blisses blandishment:
Laudes Crowne, Crownes pompe, and Pompes best ornament:
Kynnet of Darknessr, lightly turning it.
Deathes death, Lifes life, and life of Lifes, liues Life
Eyes eye Witts eye, Soules eye Eye of all Eyes:
Fames pride, Prides foile, yet Foiles doth scandalize:
Gods glory, Glories God, and stay of strife!
This is obscure, and yet tis extreame Light,
Manns Summum bonum, and Gods Soules delight!
