163
The seuenth speach.
The Ievvish Church speaketh.
1
The faith, & loue that thou dost seekeIn her, thou findst in me
My plea of faith found Grace, & Peace,
& I vvas ioynd to thee.
2
The vvant of vvords to feed thy sainctsWhich thou in her dost craue
Is not in me to doe thy vvill
Hovve then should, she it haue.
3
Grāt thee to her thy Grace in goodAnd shee vvill to thee bend.
She vvill thee serue in vvord, & deede
If thou thy grace her send
Christ speaketh
4
My spouse is as a vine to me,She flovvers, & fruits doth yeald
She is the corne that brings me thrift
& grovves faire in my feild.
164
The Ievvish church speaketh.
5
My vine shall aye be in my sight,Yea till the vvorld haue end.
I vvill it dress, & keepe my selfe,
And grace, & peace it lend.
6
Sith thus I care for thee my deereShevv thou thy loue in praise,
& teach my name, my fame to all,
So long as last thy daies.
The spouse speaketh.
7
If thou my deere vvouldst haue me doeAs thou hast bid to me,
Then grāt me grace to act the same
And thou it sone shalt see.
