Three examples from her poetry of adherence to Puritan beliefs?

1. Emphasis on God's sovereignty and providence:

> "My God, my King, thy various praise

> Shall fill the remnant of my days;

> Thy grace employ my humble tongue

> Till death and glory raise the song."

_-_From "Lord, What is Man (Job 7:17)"_

2. Rejection of worldliness and vanity:

> "This world I count as nothing,

> And vanity it all:

> It shall not rob me of my hope,

> Nor gain my heart at all."

-__- From "The Pilgrim's Song"_

3. Emphasis on the importance of the soul and salvation:

> "There is a soul within each breast

> That seeks in heavenly joys its rest;

> Which longs for an immortal crown,

> And views the world as only dross and down."

-__-From "The Soul"_
