Thus stands the cause betweene God and us. We are entered into Covenant with
Him for this worke. Wee have taken out a Commission. The Lord hath given us leave
to drawe our own articles. Wee have professed to enterprise these Actions, upon
these and those accounts, upon these and those ends, wee have hereupon
besought Him of favour and blessing. Now if the Lord shall please to heare us, and
bring us in peace to the place wee desire, then hath hee ratified this Covenant and
sealed our Commission, [and] will expect a strict performance of the Articles
contained in it; but if wee shall neglect the observation of these Articles which are the
ends wee have propounded, and, dissembling with our God, shall fall to embrace this
present world and prosecute our carnall intentions, seekeing greate things for
ourselves and our posterity, the Lord will surely breake out in wrathe against us; be
revenged of such a perjured people and make us knowe the price of the breache of
such a covenant. According to this excerpt, what will be evidence that God “hath…
ratified this Covenant”?

Thou ill-form’d offspring of my feeble brain,
Who after birth didst by my side remain,
Till snatched from thence by friends, less wise than true,
Who thee abroad, expos’d to publick view,
Made thee in raggs, halting to th’ press to trudge,
Where errors were not lessened (all may judg).
At thy return my blushing was not small,
My rambling brat (in print) should mother call,

A Pilgrim passed I to and fro.

Art claiming artlessness
Both Anne Bradstreet and Edward Taylor used disparaging expressions of poetic
failure.
His poetry, such as "God's Determinations Touching his Elect," dwells on the elect
rather
than on the damned.
You are reading a poem entitled “The Day of Doom” and you think a Puritan might
have written it during the colonial period of American Literature. The plain style
might help you determine that a Puritan indeed wrote it during the colonial period.
His poem, "A Fig for Thee oh! Death," represents the poetic idea of the divided self
(body and soul).
