134.B40.001  >>%1Maddam%2<< /Reason is our soules Lefte hand; faith her Right
134.B40.002  by these wee reach devinitie, thates yo%5u%6;
134.B40.003  Their Loues, whoe haue the blessing of yo%5r%6 sight
134.B40.004  grew from their reason; Myne from faire faith grew
134.B40.005  But as, although a squinte lefte-handednes
134.B40.006  b'vngratious, yett we cannot want that hand
134.B40.007  so would I not to encrese, but to express
134.B40.008  my faith, as I beleeue, soe vnderstand.
134.B40.009  Therefore I studdie yo%5u%6, first in yo%5r%6 saintes
134.B40.010  those frendes whom yo%5r%6 election glorifies
134.B40.011  Then in yo%5r%6 deedes, accesses, and restraintes
134.B40.012  And what yo%5u%6 read, and what yo%5r%6 self device [CW:But#soone.]
134.B40.013  But soone the reasons whie yo%5u%6 are lou'd %Jof%K all [f.115]
134.B40.014  grow infinite; and soe pass reasons reach
134.B40.015  then back againe to implicite faith I fall,
134.B40.016  and rest on What the Catholique voice doth teach
134.B40.017  That yo%5u%6 are Good: And not one heritique
134.B40.018  denies it; If he did, yet yo%5u%6 are soe:
134.B40.019  ffor Rockes, w%5ch%6 high to Sun,[sic] and deep Rooted sticke
134.B40.020  Waues wash; not vndermyne, nor overthrow.
134.B40.021  In euerie thing there naturallie growes 
134.B40.022  A Balsamum to keepe it fresh and new
134.B40.023  if t'were not iniure'd by extrinsique blowes
134.B40.024  Yo%5r%6 birth, and Beautie are his Balme in yo%5u%6.
134.B40.025  But yo%5u%6 of Learning, and Religion,
134.B40.026  and vertue, and such ingredientes, haue made
134.B40.027  A Methridate; whose operation
134.B40.028  Keepes off, or Cures, what can be don, or said.
134.B40.029  Yet this is not yo%5r%6 phisicke but yo%5r%6 food
134.B40.030  A diett fitt for Yo%5u%6; for yo%5u%6 are heare
134.B40.031  the first good Angell since the Worldes frame stood
134.B40.032  that euer did in womans shape appeare.
134.B40.033  Since Yo%5u%6 are then Godes Masterpeece, and soe
134.B40.034  his facto%5r%6 for o%5r%6 Loues, doe as yo%5u%6 doe,
134.B40.035  Make yo%5r%6 returne home gratious, and bestow
134.B40.036  this life one that, soe make one life of two
134.B40.037  ffor soe God help me I would not misse yo%5u%6 there
134.B40.038  ffor all the Good w%5ch%6 yo%5u%6 can doe me heare.
