    Evert their Force, their varigus Motions prove, And thou wilt find, as He defcribes, they move. t earn how the Blood its Circling Courfe nTaintains, And never Magnates in their lpreadingVeins. As from the Ocean, Springs derive their Birth, Thro’ hollow Caverns, in the l'pungy Earth, And then in rapid Streams return again. In long Meanders, to the briny Main: . So, from the Heart, each Vein is filld with Bldod, Then to its Centre, fouls its purple Flood. Men vainly hope in Knowledge to Advance, Who attribute the Works of God to Chance. Each Fart fo aptly to its life Defign’d, Argues the Wifdom of the Eternal Mind. Dull, ftupid Atheift 1 Curft with want of Senfe, WBich thy beloved Atoms can t difpepce ; They are the perfect Image of thy Mind, Both Senfelefs. Rambling, incoherent. Blind., ]f any Light can thro’ thy Darknefs Shine; Here view thy Self, and own the Power Divine. ‘Thomas • Walker, B. D.
