As I was walking among the fires of hell,
delighted with the enjoyment of genius,
which to angels look like torment and insanity,
I collected some of their proverbs:
thinking that as the saying used in a nation mark its character.
So the proverbs of hell shew the nature of infernal wisdom
better than any description of buildings or garments.
When I came home:
on the abyss of the five senses,
where a flat sided steep frowns over the present world,
I saw a mighty Devil folded in black clouds,
hovering on the sides of rock,
with corroding fires
He wrote the following sentence
now perceived by the minds of men & read by them on earth:
how do you know bu ev'ry bird that cuts the airy way,
is an immense world of delight,
clos'd by your senses five?
