IESVS MANIFESTES HIMSELF AND THE MOST holy Trinity in the mirrour of the hart.

The Hymne.

The Painter cannot draw a face,
T'express to life each feature, grace,
And figure, with proportion fit
Except the partie drowne doth sit:
But heer in th' hart by being seen,
God drawes the picture which had been
Before imperfect: though't were neat,
And often toucht, 'twas not compleat.
Til now, it lightned as vpon see,
True picture of the Trinity.
The colours stem'd did fak and eye,
But now shal last eternally.
While heer the hart doth quiet fit,
By vision God doth figure it.
