[4] Again, when I behold What great things God bestows On Turks and Pagans (Infidels) And such as live like those. I certainly conclude He hath some better Treasure To give his Saints, then Worldly-wealth, Honour, or Carnal Pleasure.
[5] For will not God deal better With Servants, then with Foes? With Children, then with Enemies And such as Christ oppose? Hath not Christ purchased Far better things for Saints, Then common bounty here affords To faithless Miscreants?
[6] The Turkish Empire vast, What is it? but a Bone That by the Master of the House Unto the Dogs is thrown? The Gold Mines of the West, And Riches of the East, Are often-times possest by one That lives and dies a Beast.
