<Ig>. Hah[ Where[ What Angle of the World is this
that I can neither see the <Politique> Face,
nor with my refinde Nosthrills taste the Foote|#stepps
of any of my <Disciples[ Sons, and heires
as well of my <Designes>, as <Institution>[
I thought they^had spread over the world by this time,
Coverd the Earthes Face, and made Darck the Land
like the <Egiptian Grashoppers>.
Heere#^s too much Light appeeres, shot From the eies
of <Truth>, and <Goodnes> (never yet deflow^rd.)
Since <They> were neuer <Heere>, Then is their <Monarchie>
vnperfect yet: A iust Reward, I see
for their Ingratitude so long to Me
(their <Father>, and their <Founder>)
It#^s not Five yeeres, since I was Saincted by ^em,
Where slept mine <Honor>, all the time before:
Could they be so forgetfull to Cannonize
their prosperous <Institutor>[ When they had <Saincted> Me,
they found noe Roome in all their <Kallander>
(GML:C:2:) to place my <Name>, that should haue remou^d <Princes> . . .
