The Church speakes to Christ.

Thē breathe on me with thy svveet breath
That it my hart may moue.

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.

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.

And all else that is meete.
