Note 58 — [5] ENCHANTMENTS ENCOUNTER'D.
Reading edition
The Incomprehensibleness of the Creator is nowhere more strikingly expressed than in the following old Lines:
What mortal Man can with a Span mete out Eternity? Or fathom it by Depth of Wit or Strength of Memory? The lofty Sky is not so high, Hell's Depth to this is small; The World so wide is but a Stride, compared therewithal. It is a main great Ocean, withouten Bank or Bound: A deep Abyss, wherein there is no Bottom to be found.
Day of Doom, Edit. 1715, P. 51.
