  HAue mercy Lord on me I doe thee pray , And eke conduct me in thy holy way : And let thy precepts alwayes be to mee , As sweet as euer hony from the Bee. IN thee , O Lord , I onely put my trust , For thou , O Christ , art onely true and iust : There is no other God I know but thee , In whom I onely trust saued to be . BEtimes in morning when thou do'st awake , Vnto the Lord see thou thy Prayers make : And after that then goe to thy Vocation , This is a way that leadeth to saluation .

  A work for none but angels & men. That is to be able to look into, and to know our selves. Or a book shewing what the soule is, subsisting and having its operations without the body; its more th[e]n a perfection or reflection of the sense, or teperature of humours: how she exercises her powers of vegetative or quickening power of the senses. Of the imaginations or common sense, the phantasie, sensative memory, passions motion of life, local motion, and intellectual powers of the soul. Of the wit, understanding, reason, opinion, judgement, power of will, and the relations betwixt wit & wil. Of the intellectual memory, that the soule is immortall, and cannot dye, cannot be destroyed, her cause ceaseth not, violence nor time cannot destroy her; and all objections answered to the contrary.

summary:
  Bodies are fed with things of mortal kind , And so are subject to mortality ; But truth , which is eternal , feeds the mind ; The tree of life which will not let her dye . For when she sorts things present with things past , And thereby things to come doth oft foresee ; When she doth doubt at first , and choose at last , These acts her owne without the Body be .

  3. We see the wealthiest Oar the Earth doth hide , Is not receiv'd or pass'd for current Gold , Nor by the greedy Miser told , Till by the Cleansing Furnace try'd , It doth the seven fold Test abide : So must the Path of Grief be trod , That certain Purifying Road By all th' accepted Sons of God. Oh! for a Quill drawn from your Wing , To write the Praises of th' Eternal Love , Oh! for a Voice , like Yours , to sing That Anthem here , which once you sung Above .

  Order and disorder, or, The world made and undone being meditations upon the creation and the fall : as it is recorded in the beginning of Genesis.

summary:
  God for his worship kept one day of seven , The other six to man for mans use given ; Adam , although so highly dignified , Was not to spend in idle ease and pride Nor supine sleep , drunk with his sensual pleasures , Profusely wasting th' Empires sacred treasures , As now his faln sons do , that arrogate His forfeited dominion , and high state ; But God his dayly Business did ordain That Kings , hence taught , might in their Realms maintain Fair order , serving those whom they command , As guardians , not as owners of the land , Not being set there , to pluck up and destroy Those plants , whose culture should their cares employ . Here life almost to its perfection grew While God these various creatures did indue With various properties , and various sense , But little short of humane excellence , Save what we in the Brutes dispersed find , Is all collected in mans nobler mind , Who to the high perfection of his sense , Hath added a more high intelligence .

  A subtile cheating crew ( That wil with tricks and cozenages pursue The simpler sort ) shal here encrease their breed ; And in their subtilties the Fox exceed . At first appearance , shal be urg'd to say Some word or other , ere they part away , Which wil betray their innocence to blame , And bring upon them detriment and shame :
