Sonnet

Of known effects, grounds too precisely sought,
Young naturalists oft atheists old doe prove.
And some who naught, save whOfirst moves, can move,
Scorn mediate means; as wonders still were wrought:
But tempting both, thou dost this difference even,
Divine physician, physical divine:
Who souls and bodies help'st, dost here design
From earth by reason, and by faith from heaven,
With mysteries, which few can reach aright:
How heaven and earth are match'd, and work in man;
Who wise and holy ends, and causes scan.
Loe true philosophy, perfection's height,
For this is all, which we would wish to gaine:
In bodies sound, that minds may sound remaine.
