| ALPHA and Omega, God alone: | |
| Eloi, My God, the Holy-One; | |
| Whose Power is Omnipotence: | |
| Whose Wisedome is Omni-science: | |
| Whose Beeing is All Soveraigne Blisse: | 5 |
| Whose Worke Perfection’s Fulnesse is; | |
| Under All things, not under-cast; | |
| Over All things, not over-plac’t; | |
| Within All things, not there included; | |
| Without All things, not thence excluded: | 10 |
| Above All, over All things raigning; | |
| Beneath All, All things aye sustayning: | |
| Without All, All conteyning sole: | |
| Within All, filling-full the Whole: | |
| Within All, no where comprehended; | 15 |
| Without All, no where more extended; | |
| Under, by nothing over-topped: | |
| Over, by nothing under-propped: | |
| |
| Unmov’d, Thou mov’st the World about; | |
| Unplac’t, Within it, or Without: | 20 |
| Unchanged, time-lesse, Time Thou changest: | |
| Th’ unstable, Thou, still stable, rangest; | |
| No outward Force, nor inward Fate, | |
| Can Thy drad Essence alterate: | |
| |
| To-day, To-morrow, yester-day, | 25 |
| With Thee are One, and instant aye; | |
| Aye undivided, ended never: | |
| To-day, with Thee, indures for-ever. | |
| |
| Thou, Father, mad’st this mighty Ball; | |
| Of nothing thou created’st All, | 30 |
| After th’ Idea of thy Minde, | |
| Conferring Forme to every kinde. | |
| |
| Thou wert, Thou art, Thou wilt be ever: | |
| And Thine Elect, rejectest never. | |
