Thy Ditty were each one my wrongs
againſt both God and Man:
Thy ſentence was my due deſert
for Sins whereto I ran.
Theſe laſhes laid upon thy Skin,
thoſe ſtripes and all thy Wounds
Were for my Souls Wounds made with sins:	John 12. 27.
O Love, which thou abounds
O thus, my Love to ſee thee ſad:
O thus to ſee thee weep:
O thus to hear thee groan and pant,	Mat. 26.
and cry with ſighs cut deep.	3.8.
O Agony; O fearful ſweat:
O Tears; O bloody drops:
How mingled down from cheeks to feet	Luke 28. 24
each chaſing other hops.
To ſee my Love, for Love of me
on bloody Shoulders bear
That Croſs, that Curſe, that growing wrath,	Mat. 17.
and trembling thus for fear.
To ſee Almighty God ſo weak,
Lifes-fountain thus to die:
With ſhame and Pain o'ercharg'd, till Heaven	and 26. 45.
wondred, and all for me.
Woes me for all Sins: woes me
for Roots of Sin ſo ftrong:
Which have ſo long Time grown in me
and like to ſtick ſo long
Oh,help,my Love to have them flair	Rom. 7. 4.
oh, here revenge thy Death.
Oh on this ill avenge me too,
which wrong'd us both ſo hath.
Well's me, I wot thou wilt anon,
grant this, and each requeſt:
