142.H04.0HE  To the: La: Co: of: C:
142.H04.001  Maddam: /Heere where by all, All Saintes invoaked are
142.H04.002  T'were too much Schisme to be singular
142.H04.003  And 'gainst a%A practisd Generall to warre
142.H04.004  yet turning to Saints should my humillitie
142.H04.005  to other Saints then yo%5w%6 directed be
142.H04.006  that were to make my Schisme Heresye.
142.H04.007  Nor would I be a Convertite soe colde
142.H04.008  as not to tell yo%5w%6: if this bee too bold
142.H04.009  Pardons are in this Markett cheapelie sould:
142.H04.010  where because Faith is in too lowe degree
142.H04.011  I thought yt some Apostl>e%>u<ship in me,
142.H04.012  To speake thinges w%5ch%6 by faith alone, I see.
142.H04.013  That is of yo%5w%6, whoe are a%A firmament
142.H04.014  of vertues where noe one is growne or spent
142.H04.015  they'are yo%5r%6 materialls, not yo%5r%6 ornament:
142.H04.016  Others whom we call vertuous, are not soe
142.H04.017  in their whole substance, but their vertues growe
142.H04.018  But in their Humors, and their reasons shewe.
142.H04.019  ffor when through tastlesse flatt humillity
142.H04.020  In dowe=bak't men some harmelessnes we see
142.H04.021  tis but his flegme that's vertuous, and not he.
142.H04.022  Soe is the bloud sometimes who euer can
142.H04.023  to danger vn=importun'd, he was than
142.H04.024  noe better then a%A Sanguine vertuous man; [CW:Soe:]
142.H04.025  Soe Cloisterall men that in pretence of feare [p.121]
142.H04.026  all Contribution to this life forbeare
142.H04.027  haue vertue in Melancholy, and onely there
142.H04.028  Spirituall Chollerique Criticks, w%5ch%6 in all
142.H04.029  religions finde fault, and forgiue noe fall
142.H04.030  haue through this zeale vertue but in their Gall.
142.H04.031  we are thus but parcell=gilt; to gold we' are growne
142.H04.032  when vertue is our Soules complexion
142.H04.033  who knowes his vertues name or place, hath none
142.H04.034  Vertue is but anguish[var:>>aguish<<] when tis seuerall
142.H04.035  by occasion wak'd, and circumstantiall
142.H04.036  true vertue is Soule, allwaies in all deedes All:
142.H04.037  This vertue thinking to giue dignitie
142.H04.038  to yo%5r%6 soule, found there noe infirmitie
142.H04.039  ffor yo%5r%6 soule was as good vertue as shee
142.H04.040  She'hath therefore wrought vpon that part of yo%5w%6
142.H04.041  w%5ch%6 is scarce lesse then soule as she could doe
142.H04.042  And soe hath made yo%5r%6 beauty, vertue too
142.H04.043  Hence comes it that yo%5r%6 beautie woundes not Hearts
142.H04.044  as others w%5th%6 prophane, and sensuall Darts
142.H04.045  but as an influence vertuous thoughts imparts
142.H04.046  But if such ffreind by th'honour of yo%5r%6 sight
142.H04.047  Growe capeable of this soe great a%A light
142.H04.048  as to partake yo%5r%6 vertues, and their might
142.H04.049  What must I thinke that Influence must doe
142.H04.050  Where it findes simpathy and matter too
142.H04.051  vertue, and beauty of the same stuffe, as yo%5w%6.
142.H04.052  W%5ch%6 is yo%5r%6 noble worthy Sister, she
142.H04.053  of whom, if what in this my Extasie
142.H04.054  And Reuelation of yo%5w%6 both I see
142.H04.055  I should write heere: as in short galleries
142.H04.056  The Maister at the end large glassies ties
142.H04.057  soe to present the roome, twill[var:>>twice<<] to our eies: [CW:Soe#I.]
142.H04.058  Soe I should giue this letter length, and saie [p.122]
142.H04.059  That w%5ch%6 I said of yo%5w%6: There is noe waye
142.H04.060  ffrom either, but by th'other not to straie
142.H04.061  Maie therefore this be enough to testifie
142.H04.062  My true deuotion free from Flatterie
142.H04.063  He that belieues himselfe doth neuer lye:
