EMBLEME 12.
This Triple Close, if dis-united, none:But knit by faith, an indiuiduall One.
Standing vnmoou'd, like an heroicke rocke,
Affronts the batt'ries of fierce Enuies shocke.
God, Heart, Religion, these, One, made of three,
Ioyn'd in vnseuer'd threefold Vnitie,
Royall paire-royall (see) three are the same,
He that hath this paire-royall wins the game.
View, how this heart, and how these hands agree,
Whose heart, and hands are one, thrice happy hee.
And though two hands, yet but one are these two,
Both doe the same, and both the same vndoe.
Concord makes in a million, but one heart,
Whereat sterne Hate may leuell her fierce dart,
And deepely wound too, yet cannot that wound
Disanimate, or her free thoughts confound:
But with a double Valour she vp-beares
Such hearts, aboue the stroke of baser feares.
Thus you within haue rais'd vp such a fort,
As keepes out Ills, and doth your good support.
