But mark what I arreede thee now, avant;

A faithful Leader, not to hazard all

Argue thy inexperience what behooves

Wise to flie pain, professing next the Spie,

Through wayes of danger by himself untrid,

Armie of Fiends, fit body to fit head;

Though for possession put to try once more

Withihｔｔpｓ://ｒｅａｄ.99cｓｗ.cｏｍn these hallowd limits thou appeer,

Gave heed, but waxing more in rage replid.

Back to th infernal pit I drag thee chaind, [ 965 ]

Whose easier business were to serve thir Lord

The facil gates of hell too slightly barrd.

To settle here on Earth, or in mid Aire; [ 940 九-九-藏-書]

O sacred name of faithfulness profand!

And Seale thee so, as henceforth not to scorne

To say and strait unsay, pretending first

Heavns awful Monarch? wherefore but in hope [ 960 ]

Faithful to whom? to thy rebellious crew?

And thou sly hypocrite, who now wouldst seem

Allegeance to th acknｒｅａd.９9ｃsｗ•ｃomowledgd Power supream?

Once fawnd, and cringd, and servilly adord

To wing the desolate Abyss, and spie

Satan, and couldst thou faithful add? O name, [ 950 ]

High up in Heavn, with songs to hymne his Throne,

To dispossess him, and thy self to reigne?

Argues no Leader, but a lyar tract,

And 九九藏書practisd distances to cringe, not fight. [ 945 ]

But still thy words at random, as before, [ 930 ]

Your military obedience, to dissolve [ 955 ]

Was this your discipline and faith ingagd,

What thou and thy gay Legions dare against;

From hard assaies and ill successes past

This new created World, whereo九*九*藏*書f in Hell

Flie thither whence thou fledst: if from this houre

To whom the warriour Angel, soon replid.

I therefore, I alone first undertook [ 935 ]

Patron of liberty, who more then thou

Fame is not silent, here in hope to find

Better abode, and my afflicted Powers

So threatnd hee, but Satan to no threats
