142.H06.HE1  %XTo the Lady Cary and her sist%5r%6 /%XM.%5rs%6 Essex Rich, From Amiens
142.H06.001  Madame. /Heere where>|<by all, all Saynts invoked ar
142.H06.002  It were too much Schisme to bee singular
142.H06.003  And 'gaynst a practise generall to warr
142.H06.004  Yet turning to saynts, should my humility
142.H06.005  To other saynts then yo%5u%6 directed bee
142.H06.006  That were to make my Schisme Heresy
142.H06.007  Nor could I bee a Conuertite so cold
142.H06.008  As not to tell it. If this bee too bold
142.H06.009  Pardons are in this market cheaply sold [CW:Where___]
142.H06.010  Where because fayth is in too low degree [p.210]
142.H06.011  I thought it some Apostleshipp in mee
142.H06.012  To speake things w.%5ch%6 by fayth alone I see
142.H06.013  That is of you who are a firmament
142.H06.014  Of vertues where no one is growne or spent
142.H06.015  Th'are yo%5r%6 materialls, not yo%5r%6 ornament
142.H06.016  Others whome wee call vertuous, are not so
142.H06.017  In theyr whole substance, but theyr vertues growe
142.H06.018  But in theyr humours, and at seasons showe
142.H06.019  ffor when through tastlesse flatt Humility
142.H06.020  In dowe-bak'd men some harmlesnesse wee see
142.H06.021  Tis but his flegme that's vertuous, and not Hee
142.H06.022  So is the bloud sometimes, who ever ran
142.H06.023  To danger vnimportund, hee was than
142.H06.024  No better then a sanguine vertuous man.
142.H06.025  So Cloysterall men, who in p%5r%6tence of feare
142.H06.026  All Contribution to this life forbeare
142.H06.027  Haue Vertue in Melancholly and onely there
142.H06.028  Spirituall Cholerick Critiques, who in all
142.H06.029  Religions find faults, and forgiue no fall,
142.H06.030  Haue through this zeale vertue but in theyr Gall
142.H06.031  Wee are thus but parcel guilt, to gold w'are growne
142.H06.032  When vertue is our soules complection,
142.H06.033  Who knowes his vertues name or place, hath none
142.H06.034  Vertue's but aguish when tis severall,
142.H06.035  By occasion wak'd, and circumstantiall.
142.H06.036  True Vertue's Soule, always in all deeds All. [CW:This--]
142.H06.037  This Vertue, thinking to giue dignity [p.211]
142.H06.038  To yo%5r%6 soule, found there no infirmity
142.H06.039  ffor yo%5r%6 soule was as good Vertue as shee
142.H06.040  Shee therefore wrought vpon that part of you
142.H06.041  W%5ch%6 is scarse lesse then soule, as shee could doe,
142.H06.042  And so hath made yo%5r%6 Beauty Vertue too
142.H06.043  Hence comes it that yo%5r%6 beauty wounds not harts,
142.H06.044  As others, with prophane and sensuall darts
142.H06.045  But as an Influence vertuous thoughts imparts
142.H06.046  But if such frinds by th' honour of yo%5r%6 sight
142.H06.047  Grow capable of this so greate a light
142.H06.048  As to pertake yo%5r%6 vertues and theyr might
142.H06.049  What must I thinke yo%5r%6 Influence must doe
142.H06.050  When it finds simpathy and matter too
142.H06.051  Vertue and beauty of the same stuff as yo%5u%6
142.H06.052  W.%5ch%6 is yo%5r%6 noble worthy sister, shee
142.H06.053  Of whome if what in this my Extasy
142.H06.054  And revelation of yo%5u%6 both I see
142.H06.055  I should write heere, as in short Galleryes
142.H06.056  The Master at the end large Glasses tyes
142.H06.057  So to present the roome twice to our eyes
142.H06.058  So I should giue this letter length, and say
142.H06.059  That w.%5ch%6 I sayd of yo.%5u%6 There's->There>is< no way
142.H06.060  From eyther, but by th'other, not to stray. [CW:May__]
142.H06.061  May therefore this bee enough to testify [p.212]
142.H06.062  My true deuotion free from flattery
142.H06.063  Hee that beleeues himselfe doth never lye
