THE

BEING

A COLLECTION

OF

MORAL AND SACRED POETRY,

FROM THE MOST EMINENT AUTHORS.

COMPILED BY THE LATE

REV. THOMAS JANES,
OF BRISTOLI

"All men agree, that licentious Poems do of all writings soonest cor-

rupt the heart: and why should we not be as universally persuaded,
"that the grave and serious performances of such as write in the
most engaging manner, by a kind of divine impulse, must be the
* most effectual persuasives to goodness?"-TATLER.
