In this excerpt from Anne Bradstreet's "Before the Death of One of Her Children," which two lines best support the claim that religion was an important topic for colonial authors?

How soon, my Dear, death may my steps attend.
How soon't may be thy lot to lose thy friend,
We both are ignorant, yet love bids me
These farewell lines to recommend to thee,
That when that knot's untied that made us one,
I may seem thine, who in effect am none.
And if I see not half my days that's due,
What nature would, God grant to yours and you;
The many faults that well you know
