Not peace: and after him thus Mammon spake.
Either to disinthrohe King of Heavn
We warr, if Warr be best, or tain [ 230 ]
Our ht lost: him to unthrohen
May hope when everlasting Fate shall yeild
To fickle ce, and Chaos judge the strife:
The former vain to hope argues as vain
The latter: for lace be for us [ 235 ]
Within Heavns bound, unless Heavns Lord supream

And publish Grace to all, on promise made
Of new Subje; with what eyes could we
Stand in his presence humble, and recei<var></var>ve [ 240 ]

Of darkness do we dread? How oft amidst
Thick clouds and dark doth Heavns all-ruling Sire
Choose to reside, his Glory unobscurd, [ 265 ]
And with the Majesty of darkness round
Covers his Throne; from whence deep thunders roar
Mustring thir rage, and Heavn resembles Hell?
