    At least our envious Foe hath faild, who thought

    All like himself rebellious, by whose aid [ 140 ]

    This inaccessible high strength, the seat

    Of Deitie supream, us dispossest,

    He trusted to have seisd, and into fraud

    Drew many, whom thir plaows here no more;

    Yet farr the greater part have kept, I see, [ 145 ]

    Thir station, Heav populous retaines

    Number suffit to possess her Realmes

    Though wide, and this high Temple to frequent

    With Ministeries due and solemn Rites:

    But least his heart exalt him in the harme [ 150 ]

    Already doo have dispeopld Heavn

    My damage fondly deemd, I  repaire

    That detriment, if such it be to lose

    Self-lost, and in a moment will create

    Another Wor<s></s>ld, out of one man a Race [ 155 ]

    Of men innumerable, there to dwell,

    Not here, till by degrees of merit raisd

    They open to themselves at length the way

    Up hither, under long obedierid,

    Ah be gd to Heavn, &amp; Heavn to Earth, [ 160 ]

    One Kingdom, Joy and Union without end.

    Mean while inhabit laxe, ye Po<u>9９ｌiｂ?</u>wers of Heavn,

    And by my Word, begotten Son, by thee

    This I perform, speak thou, a don:

    My overshadowing Spirit and might with thee [ 165 ]

    I send along, ride forth, and bid the Deep

    Within appointed bounds be Heavn ah,

    Bouhe Deep, because I am who fill

    Infinitude, nor vacuous the space.

    Though I uncircumscribd my self retire, [ 170 ]

    And put not forth my goodness, which is free

    To a<s>?</s>ct or not, ie and ce

    Approaee, and what I will is Fate.

    So spake th Almightie, and to what he spake

    His Word, the Filial Godhead, gave effect. [ 175 ]

    Immediate are the Acts of God, more swift

    Then time or motion, but to human ears

    ot without pr<dfn>９9ｌｉｂ?</dfn>ocess of speech be told,

    So told as earthly notion  receave.
