A Meditation on the fire.

KEepe but an equall distance, then the fire
Will give thee warmth unto thine hearts desire,
But if thy daring spirit once presumes
To cronch too nigh, it warmes not, but consumes,
Tis thus in things divine: Search thou Gods will
Reveal'd, and then twill warme, but never kill:
But pry into his secrets, then the ire
Of God will burne thee like consuming sire:
O Lord so warme me with thy sacred breath,
That I may neither burne nor freeze to death.
