On this Learned Comment. Our welcome Ship, the wealth of heaven hath brought, No Indian earth; and she so richly fraught, With worth our waiting pays; An empty skiff Had sooner come, and with an easy whiff Of wind, had sailed; our ship so fully laded Through th' surges deeply ploughed, and slowly waded. Her wares for houses claim our hearts; may I Still make my better part their Library, Yea may these Volumes turned into my self, Be chained faster to my soul, than shelf. They burden shelves, In souls had they abode, Liketh' Elements in place, they would not load. Nor crave I them alone; our College cries […] a share in these commodities. These thousand […] ▪ Zion is content To quarter freely; Harmless […]! Which with no •oe contendest, but with sin, Which drivest not Students out, but drawest them in, Which •ost not eat, but art the Scholars bread, And in a vacant desk canst make thy bed; Whose Pistols only reasons are, whose Swords Are framed only out of Scripture▪ words. Our GOUGE who Christ' ith' Types so clearly shows, Gives light to th' Hebrews, knowledge to the Jews. Th' Hebrews so hard, a fort scarce ere obtained, We Conquer now; I'm sure the works w'have gained. Finis in Page the last, the end holds forth Of th' worthy Comment, not the Comments worth. Its clear Analysis the Text unties, 'Twas sad that death did th' writer Analyze.
On this Learned Comment. OUr welcome Ship, the wealth of heav'n hath brought, No Indian earth; and she so richly fraught, With worth our waiting payes; An empty skiff Had sooner come, and with an easie whiff Of wind, had sayl'd; our ship so fully laded Through th' surges deeply plow'd, and slowly waded. Hir wares for houses claim our hearts; may I Still make my better part their Library, Yea may these Volumns turn'd into my self, Be chained faster to my soul, than shelf. They burden shelves, In souls had they abode, Liketh' Elements in place, they would not load. Nor crave I th•m alone; our College cries a share in these commodities. These thousand Sion is content To quarter freely; Harmless ! Which with no oe contendest, but with sin, Which driv'st not Students out, but drawst them in, Which ost not eat, but art the Scholars bread, And in a vacant desk can'st make thy bed; Whose Pistols only reasons are, whose Swords Are framed onely out of Scripture words. Our GOUGE who Christ' ith' Types so clearly shews, Gives light to th' Hebrews, knowledge to the Jews. Th' Hebrews so hard, a fort scarce ere obteyn'd, We Conquer now; I'm sure the works w'have gaind. Finis in Page the last, the end holds forth Of th' worthy Comment, not the Comments worth. Its clear Analysis the Text unties, 'Twas sad that death did th' writer Analyze.
