So, though GOD make the Soul good, rich, and fair;
Yet when her form is to the Body knit,
Which makes the Man: which Man is Adam's heir;
Justly, forthwith, he takes his grace from it.
And then the Soul, being first from nothing brought,
When GOD's grace fails her, doth to nothing fall;
And this declining Proneness unto nought,
Is even that Sin, that we are born withal.
Yet not, alone, the first good qualities,
Which in the first Soul were, deprivèd are;
