DIEU, OU RELIGION
En Dieu se fault esjouyr.
EVIDENCE.
Voyez comment l’Aigle porte à grand joye
Dessus les cieulx, le bel enfant de Troie?[1]
Qui ne croiroit Jupiter estre attainct
D’amour d’enfant? D’ond l’ha Homere fainct?
Qui au conseil de Dieu est esjouy
Au souverain Jupiter est ravy.
Ravissement d’esprit à Dieu, sans separation de corps:
est contentement de l’ordonnance de Dieu en toutes choses.
1. The Trojan boy’, i.e. Ganymede, son of the Trojan prince, Tros, snatched away by the gods to be Jove’s cup-bearer. See Homer, Iliad 20.232ff, though the eagle is a post-Homeric addition. The Greek motto in the accompanying illustration means ‘to delight in counsels’, referring to a supposed etymology of the name Ganymedes, for which see Xenophon, Symposium 8.30.
