| And Cross thy harte: for that in man alone |
| Pants downwards, and hath palpitation. |
| Cross those dejections, when it downward tends, |
| And when it to forbidden heights pretends. |
| And as thy braine, through bony walls doth vent |

| Be Covetous of crosses, lett none fall, |
| Cross noe man else, but cross thy self in all. |
| Then doth the Cross of Christ, work fruitfully |
| Wthin our harts, when we love harmlessly. |
| That Crosses pictures much, and with more care |
| That Crosses Children, wch our Crosses are. |

| Tamely fraile body, abstaine to day, to day |
| My soule eates twice; Christ heather, and away. |
| She sees him man, so like god made in this, |
| That of them both a Circle, Embleame is, |
| Whose first and last Concurre; This doubtfull day |
| Of feast, or fast, Christ Came, and went away.
