296. On Consent.

Consent in will to what the judgment likes
Facilitates an action: Paul thus speaks
I consent to the Law that it is good,

Rom. 7. 16.


And therefore by him it was not withstood;
A Saint consents to Gods commands, therefore
They are not grievous; Sinners evermore
Are under force, terrour of Conscience
Hales them to duty, not its excellence;
Such are like Slaves unto the Gally chain'd,
That are (whether they will or no) constrain'd
To work, but godly men like Subjects free,
Yield to their Princes Laws; they love to be
161

Forward in loyalty, and will confess
Their equity and reasonableness.
Saints find in Gods commands so much content,
As draweth forth consent, and this consent
Both easie and familiar made them hath,
Consent is a concomitant of Faith;
The Saint consents to have Christ, and to have
Him upon his own terms to rule, to save.
He makes it not his talk to pick and choose,
But with whole Christ doth very freely close,
For better or for worse; he sees there lies
Beauty and glory in Christs opprobries.
Purely for love, he loveth Christ for Christ;
Without whom Heaven given by the High'st
Is no sufficient dowry for a Saint,
A Saint consents without the least constraint.
Christs beauty and sweet disposition draws
The Will to yield obedience to his Laws.
The Will (which as the Master-wheel) doth carry
The whole soul with it, as Sts. consents to marry
With Christ (replenished with Graces store)
On this condition, never to part more.
He will part freely with his life, but not
With Christ; indeed Death when it slips the knot
Between the soul and body, it conjoyns
The Soul and Christ more sure; a Saint resigns
By way of Deed of Gift the interest
That he hath in himself, wholly to Christ.
162

His own name, his own will he yields to lose,
And will be wholly at Christ's wise dispose.
Christ hath the best and purest of his love,
Which nothing shall be able to remove.
That easie is which with consent is done,
The March between Christ and the Soul goes on,
With cheerfulness she giving her consent,
Nor shall she e're have cause for to repent.
Lord I assent, and give my consent to
Thy sacred Laws: but ah! I cannot do
What they command; yet wholly I resign
My self to thee, O be thou wholly mine.
