a gloss in the 1st Anniversary

"supply" better yet the full phrase from line 214 "All just supply" meaning material, a sum of parts.

My old text adds, because of the usage of "just" in the phrase, "Relation;right relationship" in the footnotes. While I don't usually work with "The First Anniversary" does this not connect back to Donne's statement that all men are now broken into disparate parts "atoms" under the new philosophy? That the old "coherence" that supplied "just supply" of right relation to other men, "Prince, Subject, Father, Son" are now broken apart? Now each man considers himself unique? Not quite sure why this is bad . . . but Donne seems to.

Hope I didn't cliche.

Yes, the remainder of the passage explains Donne's warning about modernism: "euery man alone thinkes he hath got/To be a Phoenix." [the skill of the artificer or Artificer standeth in the Idea . . . not in the work itself. . . , he would affirm]--and that, he urges, is "unjust."
