F1460A - Than heaven more remote

Than Heaven
more remote,
For Heaven is
the Root,
But these the
flitted Seed,
More flown indeed,
Than Ones that
never were,
Or those that
hide, and are -

What madness, by
their side,
A Vision to pro - (provide)
vide
Of future Days
They cannot praise -

My Soul - to find
them - come -
They cannot call -
they're dumb -
Nor prove - nor
Woo -
But that they
have Abode -
Is absolute as
God -
And instant - too -
