    convince me of wilful opposition against the known truth , of neg - ligence in seekingit , pf unwillingness to find \ ty of preferring tern , poral respects before it ^ or of any other fault , which is in my poyver to amend , that is indeed a fault , ¦

    if I amend it not , be as angry with me as you please . But to impute to ne involuntary errors ; or that I do not see that which I would see , but cannot ; or that I will not profess that which I

    do not believe ; certainly this is far more unreasonable error , than any which you can justly charge me with ; for let me tell you , the imputing Socinianism to me , whosoever was the author of it 5 was a wicked and groundless slander .

    — is threatened by our Saviour that both he and his guide shall fall into the ditch ; then I hope you will grant it was not pride , but conscience that moved me to do so ; for as it is wise humility to obey those whom God hath set over me , so it is sinful credulity to follow every man or every church , that without warrant will

    take upon them to guide me : shew me then some good and evident title which the church of Rome hath to this office , produce but one reason for it which upon trial will not finally be resolved and vanish into uncertainties ; and if I yield not unto it , say if you please I am as proud as Lucifer .

    old In Cader Idris sat , or Merlin ' s cave ; And Taliesin tun * d his harp of gold To songs of glory , that survive the grave . Ye sylvan shades of Albion- that contain The loveliest treasures of a father ' s heart , Preserve those pledges , while , beyond the main , Where filial duty calls , I now depart . Hark ! from the eastern cloud the light * nine ' s voice In tii under speaks of God , wht reigns above !«—

    Stanzas , composed during a Voyage from England to IVales . Wild Wallia ' s rocks , and Devon ' s myrtle vales ,

    ( Whose feet the ocean bathes ) inspire my breast , With raptures sweeter than the spicy gales Of India ' s shores , or Aiaby the blest . Ye Cambrian mountains ! that ascend the sky , Like pyramids , — 'green monuments of years—r-Accept the passing tribute of a sigh , To friendship sacred and parental tears * Wak'd b y the sun from winter ' s bed of snows , T ties out hern wind recals the vwnal
