233. On Communicativeness.

The best things most communicative are,
Of what they have, what benefits is there
Of Diamonds in rocks; the end alone
Of life is usefulness; the cloud pour down
Their silver showrs; the sun doth sparss abroad
Its golden beams, the sea doth Rivers load
With pearly streams; Christ is deffusive still,
And freely to us give himself he will:
Despair we might, should he slight our condition,
And tell us we are not in his commission:
To such sinners as we, he is not sent;
But he is willing that we should repent
And have him? thus his mind he doth declare,
Come unto me, all ye that weary are,
139

He fain would have the match made up between
Us and him, was such freeness ever seen?
The upright Christian hath a liberal heart
To Christs poor, he loves always to impart
To heal anothers wounds, the golden Balms
Of mercy, he is ever giving alms:
Mercy, and liberality always
Is th'Ensign that integrity displayes:
A good man is a common good, where e're
He lives, to shew mercy he doth not spare:
God-like he makes Charities springs to run
Among poverties valleys, bad men shun
Occasions to do good; he that alone
Is good unto himself, is good to none.
