Spirit of grace and wisdom come,
Thy own Divine instructions seal,
And make our hearts Thy constant home:
When Thou art in Thy saints below,
We serve Thee as the church above,
And all things have, and all things know,
Divinely taught our God to love.

Great Alla's mother, over-fond of fame,
She, (as all antique parents, wondrous sage,
For youth project the inappetence of age,
Each sense endearing and humane despise,
And on the Mammon feast their down-cast eyes)
Malevolent beheld a Stranger led,
Unknown, unfriended, to the Regal Bed:
For in the secret closet of her breast,
Constantia her imperial birth supprest,
Till Heaven should perfect the connubial band,
And with her Royal Offspring bless the land.

""What a vast cost of future woe was spared!
""But where Heaven's will the unequal cause supplies,
""To set the world on fire a spark may well suffice.""",,15456,•Cross-reference: found again in Ogle's Canterbury Tales (1741),"""Unknown, unfriended, to the Regal Bed: / For in the secret closet of her breast, / Constantia her imperial birth supprest""",Rooms,2009-09-14 19:43:42 UTC,""

Who would imagine, that they lived within ten, yea, or fifty miles of Oxford? Wednesday, 16. I preached at South-lye. Here it was, that I preached my first sermon, six and forty years ago. One man was in my present audience, who heard it. Most of the rest are gone to their long home. After preaching at Witney in the Evening, I met the believers apart, and was greatly refreshed among them. So simple a people I scarce ever saw. They did ""open the window in their breast."" And it was easy to discern, that God was there, filling them with joy and peace in believing.
