He that can play well on an instrument, br Will take the ear, and captivate the mind br With mirth or sadness; for that it is bent br Thereto, as music in it place doth find. br But if one hears that hath therein no skill, br (As often music lights of such a chance) br Of its brave notes they soon be weary will: br And there are some can neither sing nor dance. br br Comparison. br br Unto him that thus skilfully doth play, br God doth compare a gospel-minister, br That rightly preacheth, and doth godly pray, br Applying truly what doth thence infer. br This man, whether of wrath or grace he preach, br So skilfully doth handle every word; br And by his saying doth the heart so reach, br That it doth joy or sigh before the Lord. br But some there be, which, as the brute, doth lie br Under the Word, without the least advance br Godward; such do despise the ministry; br They weep not at it, neither to it dance.
