To him that hath, shall be giuen; and from him that hath not, shall be taken away, that which it semes he hath. Mat. 25.2

HIs Word is Truth, that said, to him that hath,
shall still be giuen; and, from him that lackes
Shall be withdrawne that which he holds, with scath;
so, this World makes men, made; & marr'd men, wracks.

Who least doth lacke, hath most bestow'd on him;
for GOD and Mn giue richest gifts to Kings:
So, he that doth in all abundance swimme,
each Hand to him much more Abundance brings.

What meanes this Mysterie so mysticall!
what! World, begin'st thou now, with Age, to dote,
That Thou dost giue some All; some, nought at all:
and, sinck'st some, sincking, to make swimmers flote?
I know now what this meanes; but, this I know,
Tis too much to be loth'd, to be too low.
