Another of the same.
As
in the Sacrifices of the Law,
there was an Alter, Priest, Host, Fire and Wood:
So This to That, in likenesse neere doth draw;
and wants but holy-Fire to make it good.

The Alter, is my Hope; the Host, my Heart;
the Priest, my Faith; my Loue, the Fuell is:
All these (ô Lord) are ready; but the Art
to fire the Fuell, wants; then, doe thou This.

I am but Passiue in this holy Act,
Thou the sole Agent: yet, ô make me fit
To worke with thee together in this Fact,
with all the Forces of my Will and Wit:
And sith (deare Lord) all things so ready be,
Giue Fire, to sacrifice my Heart to Thee!
