From their Numbers, Observation Generall.
Let it be considered, whether Tradition of ancient _Forefathers_, or
_Nature_ hath taught them _Europes Arithmaticke_.
More particular:
1. Their Braines are quick, their hands,
Their feet, their tongues, their eyes:
God may fit objects in his time,
To those quicke faculties.
2. Objects of higher nature make them tell,
The holy number of his Sons Gospel:
Make them and us to tell what told may be;
But stand amazed at Eternitie.
