A Cale of the Puritans. BY THE AUTHOR OF PASSAGES IN THE LIFE OF MRS. MARGARET MAITLAND," : "Heaven doth with us, as we with torches do; Not light them for ourselves: for if our virtues Did not go forth of us, 'twere all alike As if we had them not. Spirits are not finely touch'd ̧ But to fine issues: nor Nature never lends The smallest scruple of her excellence, But like a thrifty goddess, she determines Herself the glory of a creditor, Both thanks and use."-MEASURE FOR MEASURE.
