134.H04.HE1 %XTo the Countess: of: B:
134.H04.001 %XMaddame: /Reason is our Soules left hand, ffaith her Right
134.H04.002 By theis we reach divinitie, that's yo%5u%6
134.H04.003 Those Loues, who haue the blessing of yo%5r%6 sight
134.H04.004 Grewe from their Reason, myne from faire Faith grewe
134.H04.005 But as allthough a squint=left=handednesse
134.H04.006 be vngracious, yet we cannot want that hand
134.H04.007 Soe would I not to' increase but to expresse
134.H04.008 my ffaith, as I belieue soe vnderstand. 
134.H04.009 Therefore I studie yo%5u%6, ffirst in yo%5r%6 Saintes
134.H04.010 those ffrendes, whom yo%5r%6 election glorifies
134.H04.011 Then in yo%5r%6 deedes, Accesses, and Restraintes
134.H04.012 and what yo%5u%6 reade, and what yo%5r%6selfe devise
134.H04.013 But soone the reasons why y' are lou'd by all
134.H04.014 growe infinite, and soe passe reasons reach [CW:om]
134.H04.015 Then back againe t[sic] implicite ffaith I fall [f.53v]
134.H04.016 and rest on what the Catholique voyce doth teach
134.H04.017 That yo%5u%6 are good; and not one Heretique
134.H04.018 denies yt: if he did yet yo%5u%6 are soe
134.H04.019 ffor rocks w%5ch%6 high top'd, and deepe rooted stick
134.H04.020 waues wash, not vndermyne, nor ouerthrowe.
134.H04.021 In euerie thinge there naturally growes
134.H04.022 a Balsamum to keepe it fresh, and neare
134.H04.023 If twere not iniur'de by extrinsick blowes
134.H04.024 yo%5r%6 birth* and beautie are this Balme in yo%5u%6
134.H04.025 But yo%5u%6 of learning and Religion
134.H04.026 and vertue, and such Ingredients haue made
134.H04.027 a Methridate whose operation
134.H04.028 Keepes off, or cures, what can be done, or saide
134.H04.029 Yet this is not yo%5r%6 phisick but yo%5r%6 floode
134.H04.030 a diett fitt for yo%5u%6, ffor yo%5u%6 are heere
134.H04.031 The first good Angell since the worlds frame stood
134.H04.032 That euer did in womans shape appeare.
134.H04.033 Since yo%5u%6 are then Gods maister=peice, and soe
134.H04.034 his Factor for our loues, Doe as yo%5u%6 doe
134.H04.035 Make yo%5r%6 returne home, gracious, and bestowe
134.H04.036 this life on that; soe make one life of twoe
134.H04.037 ffor (soe go>*%>d< helpe me) I would not misse yo%5u%6 there
134.H04.038 ffor all the good w%5ch%6 yo%5u%6 can doe me heere:
