45. On the Woman with the Issue.

How could thy Soule, fond Woman, be assur'd
Thy long disease could be so eas'ly cur'd?
What? coldst thou think the touch of cloth was good
To dry the Fountaine of thy flowing Blood?
Or was't because our blessed Saviour wore it?
Or why? I read not, that thou didst adore it:
He nere so much as ownd thee, Woman: Sure,
Thy Faith, and not his Garments wrought the Cure.
