The seuenth speach.
The Church speakes to Christ.
1
If I be then so svveet my deereMy Christ, my God, my Loue
Thē breathe on me with thy svveet breath
That it my hart may moue.
2
O all ye povvers of my svveete godBlovve on me North, & South
That these my plants of my poore soule
May blest be by his mouth
3
And make thē svveet to him, as areThe Plants of loue, & grace
So shall my loue ioy still to come,
And glad him in this place.
4
Yea he vvill come to me his ovvnevvhich he hath bought full deere
And vvill take of the fruit that he
Hath made to him so neere.
116
Christ speakes.
5
I come my loue to thee myne ovvneAs thou hast cald to me
And as thou vvilt, so vvill I take
These fruits a part of thee.
6
I see thy vvorkes, thy vvords, thy thoughtsThey all to me are svveet,
For they are mine I gaue thē thee,
And all else that is meete.
7
Novve all ye blest of me, & SainctsCheere vp, & glad your mind
That yett in this deere loue of mine
Such grace, & loue doe find.
