True Christian Love
19
To ſend and buy ſome courſe piece Bread,
and get no other Meat?
What greater drought,then want a drink, John 4. 5.
in Journey at Mid-day
And for a drink of Water call,
and hear one ſay me nay?
What ſpoil of Goods, more than to ſtrip
me naked to the Skin, John 4. 5.
And in my ſight divide my Cloathes,
and then to ſcorn begin?
What danger more than preſent Death, Mat. 2. 37.
by Stones lift up to caſt: John 8. 58.
There ſteep down rocks, here man ad-jug'd, Luke 4. 20.
to be thrown down, made faſt.
What baniſht can I more be then, Mal. 26. 57.
for Life chas'd here and there,
Without a Hole to hide my Head,
which even to Beaſts is rare?
What Priſon worſe than fall in Hands
of perſecuting Prieſts,
Thirſtning like Wolves for Blood of Saints
to grace their godleſs Feaſts;
What Judgment more unjuſt than find Mat. 26, 69.
my Party ſit as Judge,
And ſtill the leſs fault he can find,
the more at me to grudge? John 18. 22.
And if I ſpeak a modeſt truth,
to ſmite me on the Face: Iſa. 50. 6.
And pull the Hair of Head and Cheeks.
and all me to diſgrace:
What torments more then pricks thruſt in Mat.27. 29.
one's Head fourſcore at once:
Yea all the Fleſh with ſcourging rent,
and nothing ſafe but Bones:
