4 Op. cit., VII, 5, as follows:

On the Nativity, 14: [Christ] chose with us a darksome house of mortal clay.

Scourge of Villanie, III, viii, 194 : [Of the soul, leaving] his smoaky house of mortal clay.

5 Act V, Sc. 1 (Bullen's Marston, II, 412):

Cannot your trembling wires throw a chain

Of powerful rapture “bout our mazed sense. . . . . .

which lines Milton, according to Malone, remembered in L'Allegro, 142-144:

The melting voice through mazes running,

Untwisting all the chains that tie

The hidden soul of harmony.

(The verbal likeness here would seem to be worthy of note, though, as Warton observes, the thought differs. See Todd, VI, 104.)
