Book I, 57: On rash Iudgement
From Divine Fancies (1633), Book I
Religion
Ivdge not too fast: This Tree that does appeare
So barren, may be fruitfull the next yeare:
Hast thou not patience to expect the hower?
I feare thy owne are Crabs they be so ower:
Thy Judgement oft may tread beside the Text;
A Saul to day, may prove a Paul, the next.
