IESVS THE LIVING FOVNTAINE IN THE Hart.

THE HYMNE.

Behold the fountaines liuing springs:
Both here & there in Angel bring:
Souls soyl'd with vgly spots within:
Oh how I now am loathing sin!
Which nought could wash but streames of bloud,
That issued from Christs wounds ô floud!
The sourse from whence thy torrent flowes,
Is IESVS hart? 'tis that bestowes
Eu'n the lasts drop, to cleanse my spots.
O scribled hart, with blurrs & blots
Of horrid crimes! wash, wash, with teares,
Thy sinnes. Thy paper written beares
Being once made white, (what doth afford,
Al ioy, content, repose) the WORD.
