Book III, 57: On ANNA
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book III
Religion
What faithfull Anna by her Teares had done
Deserv'd the double duty of a Son:
She was a double Parent; pleas'd to doe
A double Office; bore, and got him too:
Thus Samuel was (It was lesse strange then rare)
Borne of her Body, gotten by her Prayer.
