Alas! my GOD, now I understand (but blush to confess)that the beauty of thy creatures hath deceived mine cyc^,and I have not observed that thou art more amiable than allthe creatures ; to which thou hast communicated but onedrop ^A~ thy inestimable beauty: for who hath adorned theheavens with stars ? who hath stored the air with fowl, thewaters with fish, the earth with plants and flower ? but whatare all these but a small spark of divine beauty ? S. CHRYS. Horn. v. in Ep. ad Rom.In having nothing, I have all things, because I have Christ.Having therefore all things in him, I seek no other reward ;for he is the universal reward. Epig. 6.Who would not throw his better thoughts about him ?And scorn this dross within him ; that without him ?Cast up, my soul, thy clearer eye ; behold,If thou be fully melted, theres the mould.
