Book I, 27: On a Sun-dyall
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
Goe light a Candle: By that light, make tryall,
How the night spends it selfe, by the Sun-dyall
Goe, search the Scripture; Lbour to increase
In the diviner knowledge of thy Peace
By thy owne light, derived from thy mother:
Thou maist as easly doe the one, as t'other.
