All these his works so wondrous he ordaind, [ 665 ]
To serve him better: wise are all his wayes. [ 680 ]
He drew not nigh unheard, the Angel bright, [ 645 ]
Interpreter through highest Heavn to bring,
Worlds, and on whom hath all these graces powrd;
But all these shining Orbes his choice to dwell; [ 670 ]

Who to the fraudulent Impostor foule
Created this new happie Race of Men
Resigns her charge, while goodness thinks no ill
In which of all these shining Orbes hath Man

His fixed seat, or fixed seat hath none,
Who justly hath drivn out his Rebell Foes
So spake the false dissembler unperceivd;
Ore Sea and Land; him Satan thus accostes;
Hath brought me from the Quires of Cherubim
Alone thus wandring. Brightest Seraph tell
And here art likeliest by supream decree
To deepest Hell, and to repair that loss
All these his woｈｔｔｐｓ://ｒeａｄ.9９ｃｓw•ｃoｍndrous works, but chiefly Man,
Where no ill seems: Which now for once beguild
Where all his Sons thy Embassie attend;
For neither Man nor Angel can discern
That run through all the Heavns, or down to th Earth
