On th’earth wee close the earth t’inlarge our land:
In th’earth wee moyle with honger, care, and payne,
Wee cut, wee dig thence Siluer, Gold, and Sand:
The bowels of the earth wee moyle with might of hand,
With Steele and Iron tearing vnder ground,
And rigging all the earth to make our ioyes abound.[525]

For th’earth forget wee God, (vnfaythfull fooles)
For grounde forsake wee fayth and all our frends:
For th’earth wee set our selues to subtile schooles,
