Perception of things mundane guides here below;
Religion’s keen sense leads where God’s glories glow.
The health of his senses man asks of the leech;
Religion’s sound sense from the Lord we beseech.[76]60
For healthy perceptions, our frame must be sound;
Religion’s enjoyments through suff’rings are found.
The health of the soul’s through a waste of the flesh,
But after much searching it builds up afresh.
How blest is the soul that, for love of its God,[77]
Has flung away wealth, health, e’en life, as a sod!
