Side 27 - With antique pillars massy proof, And storied windows richly dight, Casting a dim religious light. There let the pealing organ blow To the full-voiced quire below In service high and anthems clear As may with sweetness, through mine ear, Dissolve me into ecstasies, And bring all Heaven before mine eyes.
Side 41 - Or of the Eternal coeternal beam, May I express thee unblamed ? since God is light, And never but in unapproached light Dwelt from eternity, dwelt then in thee, Bright effluence of bright essence increate.

Side 14 - Hell heard the unsufferable noise ; hell saw Heaven ruining from heaven, and would have fled Affrighted : but strict Fate had cast too deep Her dark foundations, and too fast had bound.
