True Christian Love,
| What other Loves do ſeem to have, | |
| is truly in him found: | |
| The ſcattered Beauties of them all, | Cant. 5. 10. |
| in him art jointly bound. | |
| What they do lack and cannot have, | |
| becauſe they finit be: | |
| 'Tis infinite in him, it ſtands | |
| for ever ſtill: O he, | |
| He, he, is only worthy Love, | |
| and nothing elſe but he: | |
| Alas; that Vanity ſo long | |
| hath ſo bewitched me. | |
| Why heard I flatt'ring Idols Words? | |
| why did I parly keep? | |
| Why ſuffered I Affliction | |
| to ſing me ſo aſleep? | |
| How went I on ſo fooliſhly, | Pſal. 77. 22. |
| and kept ſo oft their tryſt, | |
| As if falſe Loves could be found true, | |
| and had no mind of Chriſt? | |
| No, not when Chriſt was ſuiting me, | |
| and they found oft untrue: | |
| I ſtack ſtill in the bonds, and could | |
| my ſelf no ways reſcue. | |
| Yet good and wiſe Lord Jeſus Chriſt, | Pſal. 73. 23. |
| did ſtill purſue my Love: | |
| He knew, though I refus'd my Heart | |
| was his, he could me move. | |
| And now 'ris done, my Love is thine, | Cant. 8. 4. |
| Lord Jeſus, come receive | |
| This whoriſh Heart, and ſuffer not | |
| my Soul hence to deceive. | |
| There ſhall my Suitters all me ſerve, | |
| bnt thou my Love ſhalt be |
