238. ANOTHER.
That there's a God we all do know,
But what God is we cannot show.
239. THE POOR MAN'S PART.
Tell me, rich man, for what intent
Thou load'st with gold thy vestiment?
Whenas the poor cry out: To us
Belongs all gold superfluous.
240. THE RIGHT HAND.
God has a right hand, but is quite bereft
Of that which we do nominate the left.
241. THE STAFF AND ROD.
Two instruments belong unto our God:
The one a staff is and the next a rod;
That if the twig should chance too much to smart,
The staff might come to play the friendly part.
