Abstract

IN The Hind and the Panther (1687) Dryden has the following lines which are spoken by the Panther, representing the Church of England: Were not this Chief Good perfectly One, were there any other equal to it; man’s Soul would hang in æquilibrio, equally poised, equally desiring the enjoyment of both, but moving to neither; like a piece of Iron between two Loadstones of equal virtue. But when Religion enters into the Soul, it charms all its restless rage and violent appetite, by discovering to it the Universal Fountain-fulness of One Supreme Almighty Goodness.
