Eve, easily may Faith admit that all
The Good which we enjoy, from Heav'n descends;
But, that from us ought should ascend to Heav'n

Or one short Sigh of human Breath, up born
Ev'n to the Seat of God. For since I sought
By Pray'r th' offended Deity to appease;
Kneel'd and before him humbled all my Heart,
