For as man is a mingled thing of two substances, a bodily and a ghostly, so it needeth for to have two sere means to come by to perfection; sith it so is that both these substances shall be oned in undeadliness at the uprising in the last day; so that either substance be raised to perfection in this life, by a mean accordant thereto. And that is dread to bodily substance, and hope to the ghostly.

I did not look to see it fall, this tree I hoped forever to protect. I thought That God, divinely good, would let it live. But God, the Master, dashed it to the earth. I take up now my song.
