He that before had express'd his passion in the melodie of the voyce, does he not now expresse it in the waters of the eye? Did not those feet now choose nakednesse and paine, that once danced cheerfully before the Arke and the Lord? He that once slew his terrible enemies, the Gyant and the Lyon, was he now afraid of what he Lov'd, his Absalom? And thus may we not see, that the graces of an Absalom may be consistent with the want of Grace? That the Excellency of a Rebell is but Ambition and Pretence? That his best offering, which looks like Divine worship is but the Idolatry of himselfe? That Ambition uses Flattery and Hates it; |
He that before had expressed his passion in the melody of the voice, does he not now express it in the waters of the eye? Did not those feet now choose nakedness and pain, that once danced cheerfully before the Ark and the Lord? He that once slew his terrible enemies, the Giant and the lion, was he now afraid of what he Loved, his Absalom? And thus may we not see, that the graces of an Absalom may be consistent with the want of Grace? That the Excellency of a Rebel is but Ambition and Pretence? That his best offering, which looks like Divine worship is but the Idolatry of himself? That Ambition uses Flattery and Hates it; |
