Book III, 48: On the old and new Tables

The former Tables of the Law were broken,
And left no Monuments of themselves, no token,
No Signe that ever such things were: But marke,
The later were kept holy in the Arke:
Those Tables are our Hearts. Can we be bold
To looke for new, and yet not breake the old?
Or can the ruines of the old find place
In th' Arke of Glory, not repayr'd by Grace?
Dismount, O blessed Moses, and renew
Those Tables thou hast broken, or make new.
