_Door-head Inscriptions_ (Vol. vii., pp. 23. 190. 588.; Vol. viii., pp. 38.
162.).--Over a house in Hexham, in the street called Gilligate, is the
following inscription:
"C. D. 1683. J. D.
Reason doth wonder, but Faith he tell can,
That a maid was a mother, and God was a man.
Let Reason look down, and Faith see the wonder;
For Faith sees above, and Reason sees under.
Reason doth wonder what by Scripture is meant,
Which says that Christ's body is our Sacrament:
That our bread is His body, and our drink is His blood,
Which cannot by Reason be well understood;
For Faith sees above, and Reason below,
For Faith can see more than Reason doth know."
