Epig. 208. Christ-Masse and Mid-sommer .
Iohn Baptist , came ith' Sommers prime,And Christ ith' Winter season;
They, Fire and Water, both, fore-show,
And both, for holy Reason:
How well these Contraries concurre,
Iohn's Fire, Christs Water pure;
Gods Fire our Sinnes to purifie,
Christs Water, Sinne to Cure.
