IESVS TEACHETH the deuout hart.

The Hymne.

O IESV speake, thy seruant heares,
But thou must find me pliant eares,
For of it-self my hart and wil
Is seeking drops that doe distil
From a limbeck that's rais'd on high
With streines of wit, which soon are dry.
Oh let me heare what thou dost speake
(Peace) in my hart! Ah, if it leake,
As doth a vessel pierced through,
It naught avails to heare. For how
Can I retaine that in my breast,
Except some heat of grace digest?
Oh with thy lessons that impart!
With thee Ile soone get al by hart.
