The Bible.

God’s cabinet of revealed counsel ’tis,

Where weal and woe are ordered so

That every man may know which shall be his;

Unless his own mistake false application make.

It is the index to eternity.

He cannot miss of endless bliss,

That takes this chart to steer by,

Nor can he be mistook, that speaketh by this book.

It is the book of God. What if I should

Say, God of books, let him that looks

Angry at that expression, as too bold,

His thoughts in silence smother, till he find such another.
