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.
