The Translation.
The mustard seed at first is small
a lesse you can not see,
it then becom'th a tree
For birdes to build, it is so tall:
a lesse you can not see,
it then becom'th a tree
For birdes to build, it is so tall:
The truth so long in dust doth lye,
constraind corners to seeke,
from darkenes it doth breake,
At length, appearing to the eye,
constraind corners to seeke,
from darkenes it doth breake,
At length, appearing to the eye,
So faith likewise doth lye at rest,
a while hid in the minde,
it strength in the end doth finde
And fully doth possesse the brest.
a while hid in the minde,
it strength in the end doth finde
And fully doth possesse the brest.
