Predestination! is thy foot from such
As see not the First Cause entire: and ye,
O mortal men! be wary how ye judge:

Such scantiness of knowledge our delight:
For all good is, in that primal good,
Concentrate; and God's will and ours are one.

The holy text of pike and gun;
Decide all controversies by
Infallible artillery;
And prove their doctrine orthodox,
By Apostolic blows and knocks.
