Religion
Book IV, 115: On PHARES
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book IV
Religion
Thou sayst, it is a Supper, and is fit
To use the Posture of a Meale, to sit:
Can thy Discretion, Phares, or thy zeale
Give carnall Gestures to a spirituall Meale?
A heav'nly Supper and a fleshly Heart?
Thy Posture has discover'd what thou art.
