الصفحة 241 - When thy ambitious knowledge wold attempt So high a Taske as God, she must exempt All carnall sense; Thy Reason must release Her pow'r ; Thy Fancy must be bound to th' peace ; Thy Spirits must be rapt ; They must exile Thy flesh, and keepe a Sabbath for a while; Thou must forget thy selfe, and take strong Bands Of thy owne Thoughts, and shake eternall hands With thy rebellious Lusts ; discard and cleare Thy heart of all Ideas.
