On Reason.
From Divinity and Morality in Robes of Poetry ([1660?])
Social Commentaries
WOuldst thou have all things subject unto thee?
Be subject then to Reasons Monarchy;
Thou shalt be Conqueror of many, if
Reason may be thy Governor in chief:
Wouldst thou command a little world? then be
King of thy self, 'tis a safe Soveraignty.
