To bring her best things hither: ’tis a place

Not more the pride of shires then the disgrace,

Which I’de not leave, had I my Dean to boot,

For the large offers of the cloven-foot

Unto our Saviour, but you not being here

’Tis to me, though a rare one, but a shire;

A place of good earth, if compared with worse,

Which hath a lesser part in Adam’s curse:

Or, for to draw a simile from the High’st,

Tis like unto salvation without Christ,
