109. On the Christian.

Tis not enough that the Kings Daughter should
Be faire within; She must be clad in Gold;
The curious Needle cloathes her whiter skin;
Shee's rich without, and glorious all within:
The true borne Christian, must, as well, be clod
With lives to men, as lin'd with hearts to God.
