Sad and reioycd shees seene att once: and seene Att almost fiftie, and att, scarce fifteene. Att once a Sonne is promisd her, and gone, Gabriell giues Christ to her, hee her to Iohn: Nott fullie A Mother shees in Orbitie Att once reseauer, and the Legacie. All this, and all betweene this daie hath showne The Abridgment of Christs Storie, which makes one. (As in plaine Maps the farthest Of the Angells Aue, And Consummatum est) How well the Church Gods court of faculties Deales in some times, and sildome ioyninge these? As by the selfe fixt Pole wee never doe Direct our course, but the next Starr thereto Which shewes where the other is, and which wee saie, (Because itt straies not farr, doth never straie;) So God by his Church, neerest to him wee knowe And stand firme if wee by her Motion goe His Spiritt, as his fiery Pillar doth Lead; and his Church a Cloud, to one end both. This Church by lettinge these daies ioyne hath showne Death, and Conception, in Mankynde, is one. Or twas in him the same humilitye, That hee would bee a Man, and leaue to bee; Or as Creation hee had made, as God With the last Iudgment but one Period. His Imitating Spouse would ioyne in one Manhoods extreames: Hee shall come, hee is gone, Or as though one blood drop, which thence did fall Accepted would haue serud, hee yett shed all. |
