Часть текста: his own house, a book in his hand, and a great burden upon his back. (Isa. LXIV. 6; Luke XIV. 33; PS. XXXVIII. 4; Heb. II. 2.) I looked, and saw him open the book, and read therein: and as he read he wept and trembled; and not being able longer to contain, he brake out with a lamentable cry, saying,[2] «What shall 1 do?» (Acts II. 37; XVI. 30, 31.) In this plight, therefore, he went home and refrained himself as long as he could, that his wife and children should not perceive his distress; but he could not be silent long, because that his trouble increased; wherefore at length he brake his mind to his wife and children; and thus he began to talk to them: «O my dear wife», said he, «and you the children of my bowels, I, your dear friend, am in myself undone by reason of a burden that lieth hard upon me: moreover, I am for certainly informed that this our city[3] will be burned with fire from heaven; in which fearful overthrow, both myself, with thee my wife, and you, my sweet babes, shall miserably come to ruin, except (the which yet[4] I see not) some way of escape may be found, whereby we may be delivered». At this his relations were sore amazed; not for that they believed what he had said to them was true, but because they thought some frenzy distemper had got into his head; therefore, it drawing towards night, and they hoping that sleep might settle his brains, with all haste they got him to bed: but the night was as troublesome to him as the day; wherefore, instead of sleeping, he spent it in sighs and tears.

And chiefly Thou, 0 Spirit, that dost prefer Before all temples th' upright heart and pure, Instruct me, for Thou know'st; Thou from the first Wast present, and, with mighty wings outspread, 20 Dove-like sat'st brooding on the vast Abyss, And mad'st it pregnant: what in me is dark Illumine, what is low raise and support; That, to the height of this great argument, I may assert Eternal Providence, And justify the ways of God to men. Say first — for Heaven hides nothing from thy view, Nor the deep tract of Hell — say first what cause Moved our grand Parents, in that happy state, Favoured of Heaven so highly, to fall off 30 From their Creator, and transgress his will For one restraint, lords of the world besides? Who first seduced them to that foul revolt? Th' infernal Serpent; he it was whose guile, Stirred up with envy and revenge, deceived The mother of mankind, what time his pride Had cast him out from Heaven, with all his host Of rebel Angels, by whose aid, aspiring To set himself in glory above his peers, He trusted to have equalled the Most High, 40 If he opposed; and, with ambitious aim Against the throne and...
