rayer the Churches banquet, Angels age,Gods breath in man returning to his birth,The soul in paraphrase, heart in pilgramage,The Christian plummet sounding heav'n and earth;Engine against th'Almightie, sinners towre,Reversed thunder, Christ-side-piercing spear,The six-daies world-transposing in an houre,A kinde of tune, which all things heare and fear;Softnesse, and peace, and joy, and love, and blisse,Exalted Manna, gladnesse of the best,Heaven in ordinarie, man well drest,The milkie way, the bird of Paradise,Church-bels beyond the starres heard, the souls bloud,The land of spices; something understood.
