If this last Masterpiece requires a Soul.
_"f" ("If") invisible_
The Uppermost, indisputably Best.
_text reads "indsputably"_
This final Resolution made, at last
_line printed after break, but not indented_
But t'Heavens Vice-gerents, Soul, Sense, Reason, all,
_the word "vice-gerent" occurs twice_
Why did not th'Oaths of his once-great Colleagues,
_apostrophe missing_
Th'Embroiderd Mantle from his Neck he threw.
_apostrophe missing_
By profane Crowds in dirt his Prophets spurn'd,
_apostrophe invisible_ ]
