my tongue in prayer Checking the wild rebellions of my earth And strangling of them in their birth That being devested of that earthy weight Which did oppresse and clog my Faith I might on wings of Contemplation flie And soare beyond the vaulted skie And by the scrutinie of Faith Opticks see What place in Heaven's design'd for mee Ep. What is that Faith you vaunt of I have read Natures large Book contemplated Philosophies myst'ries but ne're could know The cause from whence Faith first did flow Ch. You may in quest of Natures secrets end Myriads of years and ages spend Till you all knowledge to your selfe ingrosse Yet ne're know Faith till you can spell Christs Crosse A Collation between Death

Braine possesse With an intoxicating drowsinesse Death too by fatall eating first came in When our first Parents willfully did sin And offer'd violence to Gods Decree Tasting the fruit of the forbidden tree And as when sootie night her darknesse sheds Through the vast Concave of the aire and spreads A Vaile o're bright Hyperion we devest Our bodies to compose our selves to rest So our enfranchis'd soules shall like wise be Disroab'd o' th weeds of their Mortalitie VVhen death shall an eternall night disperse Through all those Functions that with life commerce And as when the great eye o' th day displayes In the illuminated aire his Rayes The Light dispers'd in glimpses does inspire Our hands againe our bodies to attire So when the Trump at the last day shall all By its shr●ll Summons to Gods Audit call And Christs the Sun of Righteousnesse shall come To distribute to th' world a publike Doom Our moulder'd and disbanded bodies must Quit the close confines of their beds of dust To cloath again our widdow'd Soules and be Enstated both with Immortalitie In seipsum Febre iterum correptum pene confectum HEn me Qualis edax liquefactis Ossibus Ignis Incubat attritas quae lassat Flamma Medullas Quis Calor in Cineres redigit sinuosa Cerebri Tegmina quae tortos laxant Incendia nervos Quaeque fatiscentes obstipant Nubila sensus Et caecos volvunt adinertia Lumina Fumos Vt plane Aetnaei sum maesta Figura Camini Nam veluti Ignivemi serpunt è vertice Clivi Vndantes flammae fumis sulphure anhelat Moestus Apex montis coctoque bitumine fervet Dum glacie obstrictus torpèt pes montis inerti Qua Boreae afflatus torpentes evomit aeuras Quae macra effusis obstipant arva pruinis Frigora Plumatae sic dum nivis aemula pigros Invasere pedes caelefacta per Ilia serpunt Foecundi flammis ignes qui naribus balant Perque Apicem capitis fumo sa incendia volvunt In me congestas fundat puer Hydrius undas Huc glomerent Plëades nimbisque impactus Orion Implicit as nubes densa volumina aquarum Hic reserunt calidas quae sic effusa Favillas Ignitae febris deleant quâ totus aduror Et quâ marcentes populantur sanguinis artus Flamma potest febris tantos vibrare dolores O Deus aeterrae est qualis tunc flamma Gehennae On himselfe being stung by a Wasp When first this busie testie Wasp did fix His sting in me and did his venome mix With my untainted bloud my skin begun To swell to an Imposthumation How did each part by sympathie complaine Stretch'd and distorted on the rack of paine What flames did this Incendiarie fling From out the narrow quiver of his sting Into each part which through my veins were thrown And through each Nerve and Arterie were blown If then a Wasp can so afflict each sense How great must be the sting of conscience On the Nativitie of our Saviour VVHo can forget that ne're forgotten night That sparkled with such unaccustom'd Light Wherein when darknesse had shut in the day A Sun at midnight did his beams display And God who mans fraile house of earth compos'd Himselfe in a fraile house of earth enclos'd Who did controule the Fire Aire Sea and Earth Was clad with all these foure and had a birth In time who was begotten before time Received a birth or th' early Sun did climb Th' ascent o' th East whom the vast Aire and Main And Precincts of the earth could not confain Is circumscrib'd now in so briefe a roome Hee 's lodg'd i' th circuit of a Virgins womb Who light to him that was all Light did give And made him who was life it selfe to live Who in her arms bore him whose hand controules The massie Globe and bears up both the poles And what improv'd the Miracle begun He was at once her Father Spouse and son VVho then his Mother was by farre more old Yet equall age did with his Father hold VVho was a child yet with his word did make The world and with his voice this world can shake Now Truths great Oracle it selfe was come The Faithlesse Oracles were strucken dumb No marvell if the Shepherds ran to see Him that should everie Shepherds Shepherd bee VVho was the Door through whom a certain way To find out life for all lost sheep there lay And though this Sun of Righteousnesse did lie VVrapt up in louds of darke Obscurity Yet he could such a stock of light allow As did the Heavens with a new Starendow Which with its beames did gratefully attend Him who at first those streams of light did lend And by the Conduct of its Rayes did bring The Easterne Kings to see their heavenly King And though all Stars by Natures Lawes does run A course contrariant to the course o' th Sun Yet loe her Statutes violated were For here the Sun was followed by a Starre On Christs Passion a Descant DArknesse had now clos'd up the worlds bright eye And drawne a Maske of vapours o're the skie And all the beamy tapers of the night In sable clouds had muffled up their light T was Pietie called in their beames th 'ad been Found Accessarie else to such a sin They ne're could have assoill'd though from their sphears They

lustre of the sun A Cataract of armed men did powre Themselves into that Garden where each flowre By th' Incense of those Prayers that Christ expir'd A balmy stocke of fresh Perfumes acquir'd And being now broake in did forthwith run With glimmering torches to find out the Sun Yet could not this thick cloud of men benight This glorious Lamp the Fountaine of all light Till th' interposing of
