“peace hath her victories
No less renowned than war; new foes arise,
Threatening to bind our souls with secular chains:
Help us to save free conscience from the paw
Of hireling wolves whose gospel is their maw.”

“Prayer is
The world in tune,
A spirit-voice,
And vocal joys,
Whose echo is Heaven’s bliss.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
“O world, world! thus is the poor agent despised. O traitors and bawds, how earnestly are you set a-work, and how ill requited! Why should our endeavour be so loved, and the performance so loathed?”
