III. TRINITY SUNDAY.

He that is one
Is none;
Two reacheth Thee
In some degree:
Nature and Grace
Wth Glory may attaine Thy Face.
Steele and a flint strike fire;
Witt and desire
Never to Thee aspire,
Except life catch and hold those fast.
That wch beleefe
Did not confess in ye first Theefe
His fall can tell
From Heaven through Earth to Hell.
Lett two of those alone
To them that fall,
Who God and Saints and Angels loose at last:
Hee that has one
Has all.
