ADAM in Innocency liv'd in EDEN, a Place prepar'd by God himselfe, to be the Mother of Plenty, the Nurse of Pleasure, and Queen Regent of Divine Delight. Happy man, had he not by the Losse of his Innocence (the Palladium of Paradise ) lost his Happinesse! Yea, the World was an Universal Paradise (whereof Eden was the Eye, the Beauty of its Beautie•) till sin committed a Rape upon its Virgin Purity, and cast a defilement upon its Primitive Glory. Then did its flowring Beauties fade in its Face, and stinging M•series sprang up apace in its Bosome. Thus did the world, once a Garden of Delights, become a Wildernesse of •hornes; before a Palace Royal of pure unmixed Pleasures, now a bloody Stage of sufferings and sorrows. Thus is sinne the procuring cause of all Miseries, and so the too certain Prognostick of Perill•us Times. Was it not for s nne, how should England be as Eden, the Garden of God, crown'd with the smiles of Heaven, |
