God, who's in heaven, will hear from thence;
If not to th' sound, yet to the sense.
161. GOD.
God, as the learned Damascene doth write,
A sea of substance is, indefinite.
The learned Damascene, i.e., St. John of Damascus.
162. CLOUDS.
He that ascended in a cloud, shall come
In clouds descending to the public doom.
163. COMFORTS IN CONTENTIONS.
The same who crowns the conqueror, will be
A coadjutor in the agony.
164. HEAVEN.
Heaven is most fair; but fairer He
That made that fairest canopy.
