142.H03.0HE  A Letter to the Lady Carey [p.60]
142.H03.001  Madam /Heere whereby all Saintes invoked are
142.H03.002  T'were too much Schisme to bee singular,
142.H03.003  And gainst a Practice Generall to warre.|
142.H03.004  Yet turninge to Saintes should my humilitie
142.H03.005  To'other Saintes than yo%5w%6, directed bee
142.H03.006  That were to make my Schisme heresy.|
142.H03.007  Nor could I be a convertite soe cold
142.H03.008  As not to tell it if this bee too bold
142.H03.009  pardons are in this markett cheaply sold.|
142.H03.010  where because faithe is in too lowe degree
142.H03.011  I thought it some Apostle ship in mee
142.H03.012  To speake things which by faithe alone I see.|
142.H03.013  That is of yo%5w%6 whoe is a firmament
142.H03.014  Of vertues where none is growne or Spent
142.H03.015  They'are yo%5r%6 materialls not yo%5r%6 ornament
142.H03.016  Others whome we call vertuous are not soe
142.H03.017  In their whole substance; but their vertues grow
142.H03.018  But in their humors and at seasons showe
142.H03.019  For when throughe tastelesse flatt humillitye
142.H03.020  In dow=bak'd men some harmelessnesse we see
142.H03.021  Tis but his Flegme that's vertuous, and not hee
142.H03.022  Soe is the blood sometymes, whoe euer ran
142.H03.023  To danger vnimportun'd, hee was than
142.H03.024  Noe better then a Sanguine vertuous man.| [CW:Soe#Cloysterall.]
142.H03.025  Soe Cloisterall men whoe in pretence of feare [p.61]
142.H03.026  All contribution to this life forebeare
142.H03.027  Haue vertue in Melancholy, and onely there
142.H03.028  Spirituall colloricke Criticks, which in all
142.H03.029  Religions finde faultes, and forgiue noe fall
142.H03.030  Haue, throughe this Zeale, vertue but in their gall.|
142.H03.031  wee are thus but parcell-guilt, to gold we are growne
142.H03.032  when vertue is our Soules Complexion
142.H03.033  whoe knowes his vertuous name, or place hathe none
142.H03.034  vertue is but anguishe where t'is seuerall
142.H03.035  By occasion wak't, and Circumstantiall.| 
142.H03.036  True vertue is soule allwayes in all deeds all.|
142.H03.037  This vertue thinkeinge to giue dignitie
142.H03.038  To yo%5r%6 soule found there noe informitie
142.H03.039  ffor your soule was as good vertue as shee
142.H03.040  Shee therefore wrought vpon that parte of yo%5w%6
142.H03.041  w%5c%6h is scarche lesse then soule as shee could doe
142.H03.042  And soe hathe made yo%5r%6 beuty vertue too.|
142.H03.043  Hence came it that yo%5r%6 beuty wound's not hartes
142.H03.044  As others with profane and %Ysesesar'd%Z>%Vsensuall< dartes
142.H03.045  But as an influence vertuous thoughts impartes
142.H03.046  But if suche freinds by the honor of yo%5r%6 sight
142.H03.047  Growe capable of this soe great a light
142.H03.048  As to pertake your vertues, and their might.|
142.H03.049  what must I thinke that influence muste doe
142.H03.050  when it finds Simpathy, and matter too
142.H03.051  vertue and beuty of the same Stuffe as yo%5w%6?|
142.H03.052  which is your Noble worthy Sister shee
142.H03.053  Of whome, if what in this my extasy
142.H03.054  And reuolation of you bothe I see.|
142.H03.055  I should write here as in shorte Galleries
142.H03.056  The maister at the end large glasses tyes
142.H03.057  Soe to present the roome twice to your eyes.|
142.H03.058  Soe I should giue this letter length and say [p.62]
142.H03.059  That which I sayd of yo%5w%6 there is noe way
142.H03.060  ffrom either but by th'other not to stray
142.H03.061  May therefore this be enoughe to testify
142.H03.062  My true deuotion free from flattery
142.H03.063  Hee that beleiu's himself dothe neuer lye.|
