THE HART ENFLAMED WITH THE LOVE of IESVS shines al vvith light and flames.

The Hymne.

Come Moyses to the bush, draw nere:
Now God Incarnate doth appeare,
Man's hart the bush (cease to admire)
With flames of loue he sets on fire.
See here the scortching flakes and fume
Of prayer, which burne & not consume,
But only drosse of sinne. Behold
A hart refin'd of tryed gold:
A Bush wherin loue so contriues,
That IESVS, Phenix-like reuiues,
Amidst sweet aromatike sents.
A bush wherin one that contents
Is al in al. And now though rare
One bird in bush is better farre.
