Oft hath his Aples hunger ſtay'd	Cant. 2. 5.
my Thrift his Flaggons quencht,	Cant. 2. 3.
Oft hath his Shadow me refreſh'd,
as Herbs by Dew bedrencht,
Oft in his Love withdrawing, he
from Bed hath made me riſe,
And ſeek him long before I found,
to make Me after wiſe,
And when we met, his wrath was gone,	Cant, 4. 2.
he call’d me Spouſe betroth'd.
And waſhing me by Pardon, ſaid,
my fair Love, though ſelf-loath'd,
Now faireſt Love, let my Soul ſay,
who made me clean but thou?	Cant. II. 9.
Who made a Child of Wrath like me,	Cant 3. 16.
ſtand reconciled now?	Hos. 2. 3.
What makes me lovely but thy love
that ſet the Price on me?
Whoſe Beauty makes me fair but thine
what have I not from thee:
My Exaltation is come,
to be a Child of God.
By thy deſcending to be Man,
and ſome whiles here abode.
Thy clean Conception and Birth,
proves thee to be the Tree,	Luke 1. 35.
Where cut from Adams filthy Stock,
I imped clean muſt be.
Thy Manger makes my Bed more ſoft,
thy Stable makes me Inns:
Thy Baniſhment home brings me Where	Luke 2. 16.
my Country-people wins.
Thy Wiſdom in thy Child-hood, hides	Mat. 1. 12.
my fooliſh youthful Toyes;
