Sin is that press and vice, which forceth pain To hunt his cruel food through every vein.
"Who knows not love, let him assay.
And taste that juice, which on the cross a pike Did set again abroach ; then let him say If ever he did taste the like.
Love is that liquor sweet and most divine, Which my God feels as blood, but I as wine.
THE CHURCH. 37 THE SINNER.
Lord, how I am all ague, when I seek What I have treasured in my memory !
Since, if my soul make even with the week, Each seventh note by r
...ight is due to Thee.
I find there quarries of piled vanities.
But shreds of hoUness, that dare not venture To show their face, since cross to Thy decrees ; There the circumference earth is, heaven the centre.
In so much dregs the quintessence is small : The spirit and good extract of my heart Comes to about the many hundredth part.
Yet, Lord, restore Thy image, hear my call : And though my hard heart scarce to Thee can groan, Remember that Thou once didst write in stone.
GOOD FRIDAY.
O MY chief good.
