Thy mysteries, Thy councils manifold!

It is Thy wisdom strangely that extends

Obscure proceedings to apparent ends.

Michael Drayton.

There is a power

Unseen, that rules the illimitable world,

That guides its motions from the brightest star

To the least dust of this sin-tainted mould.

While man, who madly deems himself the Lord

Of all, is nought but weakness and dependence.
