The Faith lives only where the faith doth breed.

SIR JOHN DAVIES

On the Immortality of the Soul

(Sect. iv. Stanzas 12-14.)

Doubtless, this could not be, but that she turns
Bodies to spirits, by sublimation strange;
As fire converts to fire the things it burns;
As we our meats into our nature change.

[[1117]]From their gross matter she abstracts the forms, 5
And draws a kind of quintessence from things;
Which to her proper nature she transforms,
To bear them light, on her celestial wings.
