A40629	The turtle-dove, under the absence & presence of her only choise, or, Desertion & deliverance revived 1. Ushered with the Nicodemian paradox explained in a comparison between the first and second birth, and closed with the characters of the old and new man, 2. And seconded with a surveyof the first and second death, which is closed with a sepation [sic]-kisse between two most intimate friends, the soul and body of man, 3. And a glimring of the first and second resurrection and generall judgement : closing with a song of degrees, from what we were to what we are, and from thence toward what we will be / by a lover of the celestiall muses.	Fullartoun, John.	1664 (1664)	Wing F2381; ESTC R6244	103,213	257

Stars constellations signs celestiall hes Much operation in our bodies all Their generation standing and their fall Bodies of Elements compounded been Of humors some more grosse and some more clean In some more equall some lesse equalling Whence strength and weakness health and sickness spring Hence dispositions and affections move Which in some lesse in some more vicious prove Our distance also from the temp'rat Zone The frigid and the hot the Horizon Climat our customs and our education Our frequent fellowship and conversation All these and many more have force upon Our facile minds and fond affection By this connexion of so many things Distinguishable by so many signs So many various thoughts impression have That poyson'd inclinations do receive Hence is it that some sole-commanding thing Bears rule in every one as Soveraign King Which in the fervor of a strong respect Follow the Aples that they most affect And in the frenzie of these carnall fires Dote on the idol of their chief desires And from that folly never can refrain Untill the sting of death revive their pain So when the soul physician comes to cure Our sicknesse sees and what we can endure And unto our infection he applyes For all contagions severall remedies Corrections crosses that we may relent Comforting cordials lest our heart should faint And when we have been gained and allured And of his favour faithfully assured By real feeling of our lost condition And ●deliv●ry by our Lords tutition Yet not the lesse we must be humble held So as the devils darts may be repell'd He did in Paradice with our Parents plead And prosecutes his splen against their Seed Nor is the old man yet so fully slain But that he can recover life again If we be left a little to be try'd By light temptations we shall step aside Unlesse we be prevented or restrain'd And so by free immediate grace maintain'd Now these strong reasons and right grounds may be Of Christian cases the varietie Nor do I doubt but that the Christ'an-call Maner and time be not alike in all Some saved are with fear some love constrains Some hurled from the fire with harder pains Much difference of exercise can make Which also may the name of tryall take And. Enough dear friend now have you made us see Our own experience more perspicuouslie For we be of our birth and breeding wilde As likewise of all people most defil'd But as by times some of us hes been tam'd Then of our selves we have been much asham'd Made it our study vice for to detect Destroy and to draw vertue to respect We censur'd be by many that are good To be too rigide being people rude Who to be too far curbed do disdain And plead for recreations too profane But since it pleas'd our King us to recall To this His Paradice spirituall And since we did with you assemble here We have been set to get the heart sincere And what by speculation we take Make it impressions unto practice make And with much order do our selves addresse To shew to men their nat'rall naughtinesse And that ev'n in the best there doth remain Some of the life of death as yet unslain But as for us we have been so ingrain'd In that corruption which all flesh hath stain'd It so habituall unto us became That we converted were unto the same And when our eyes at first to see were clear'd Our miserie and mercy most admir'd The causes and the wrath so vively seen His everlasting armes to interveen There did concur force fear love infinite Our full reclaiming thereby to compleat And now our crosses and corrections we Find for the death of sin in us to be Even such by which heav'ns wisdome does reform us And to our King and Comforter conform us An. This grave and graced person in his speech If ponder'd well it were might many teach For this we know that of one propagation Countrie and clime and of one education Are all that tribe and surely such as here Arrived be most zealous do appear And as for us who came from every airt Of severall qualities partake apart As also some more early some more late Have called been unto this happy state Some by our Soveraign King his ointments sweet By love came running when he did invite Some from the sense of wrath when they did cry Such mercy felt that they did melt thereby Thus we by conf'rence find that there must be Strong reasons ' for this strange diversity Of exercise and that it is to train Us to the truth from triffles false and vain And this we know though we be civill bred And in the plat-form fair of vertue led And have not been brought under publike blame That could have brought us unto open shame That yet the seed of ev'ry vice remains In us as others only grace restrains And as we more or lesse infected are Our antidotes stronger or weaker were And more particular or plain to be You pardon will to save our modesty For our dear Lover who by grace hath lov'd us Above the grace bestow'd hath never prov'd us And when our Sex to suffer for their love Is call'd they constant do and loyall prove Tho. We as these Ladies congregated are From every airt where shines the morning star Diff'rent by birth humors and education By sight society and conversation Some in their youth have hither been translated Some in their age here happily been stated Some sav'd by fear and some by force constrain'd To come but all by Love and mercy gain'd So that with us strange diff'rences must be But far more strange is this strange harmonie Where contrare inclinations do incline All to one end O endlesse depth divine And that the rod upon our folly lies More happinesse it is then we can prize Chastis'd we be as children for our good When through the fire or the most furious flood Of sore afflictions we be safely led Who in the barren wilderness are bred The purest white drinks in the blewest dye And if you do take pains for to apply Some red some green according to the grain But unto white shall never turn again Right so though we be stain'd we can receive By industry and education grave Civility and righteous colours sweet But the first tincture never shall delete Untill by blood and water both our blots Be purged out for cleanging all our spots This is the myst'ry deep that we should mind How we may be unto our King combin'd By bands of love in sucking in His blood Which doth our consolations all include While we perceive the spawn of our proud foes Remain unpurg'd wherein can we rejoice We suffer not it is but this old man And we should beat him down in what we can Delight to see him totally destroyed And all devices for that end imployed That we unto the image of our King May once appear and so his praises sing Mariona Grissella Ma. WE do not deem that
