Social Commentaries

The Author.

by Thomas Jordan c. 1612–1685

From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])

Social Commentaries

THis is his Creed, and all that do oppose
This (although God and Angels) are his Foes;
But stay (if Fansie faile not) sure I see
A reverend Doctor in Theologie,
Approach his Presence, who doth look upon
His Pride with holy indignation:
If he do speak to him, we soon shall see
How Policy and Piety agree.
