    If this be our dition, thus to dwell

    In narrow circuit straitnd by a Foe,

    Suttle or violent, we not endud

    Sih like defence, wherever met, [ 325 ]

    How are ie, still in fear of harm?

    But harm precedes not sin: onely our Foe

    Tempting affronts us with his foul esteem

    O<tt>９9lib?t>f our iie: his foul esteeme

    Stio dishonor on our Front, but turns [ 330 ]

    Foul on himself; then wherefore shund or fe<big></big>ard

    By us? who rather double haine

    From his surmise provd false, find peace within,

    Favour from Heavn, our witness from th event.

    And what is Faith, Love, Vertue unassaid [ 335 ]

    Alone, without exterior help sustaind?

    Let us not then suspect our happie State

    Left so imperfet by the Maker wise,

    As not secure to single or bind.

    And Eden were no Eden thus exposd.

    To whom thus Adam fervently replid.

    O Woma are all things as the will

    Of God ordaind them, his creating hand

    Nothing imper<tt>９９ｌｉｂ?t>fet or defit left [ 345 ]

    Of all that he Created, much less Man,

    ht that might his happie State secure,

    <bdo>藏书网</bdo>Secure from outward force; within himself

    The danger lies, yet lies within his power:

    Against his will he  receave no harme. [ 350 ]

    But God left free the Will, for what obeyes

    Reason, is free, and Reason he made right

    But bid her well beware, and still erect,

    Least by some faire appeering good surprisd

    She dicta<var>藏书网</var>te false, and misinforme the Will [ 355 ]

    To do what God expresly hath forbid,

    Not then mistrust, but tender love enjoynes,

    That I should mind thee oft, and mind thou me.
