159.52c.HE1  To the Lady %1Magdalen Herbert%2, of /St. %1Mary Magdalen%2.
159.52c.001  H%+%1ER of your name, whose fair inheritance%2
159.52c.002  Bethina %1was, and joynture%2 Magdalo:
159.52c.003  %1An active faith so highly did advance,
159.52c.004  That she once knew, more then the Church did know,
159.52c.005  The%2 Resurrection; %1so much good there is
159.52c.006  Deliver'd of her, that some Fathers be
159.52c.007  Loth to believe one Woman could do this;
159.52c.008  But think those%2 Magdalens %1were two or three.
159.52c.009  Increase their number%2, Lady, %1and their fame:
159.52c.010  To their%2 Devotion, %1add your%2 Innocence:
159.52c.011  %1Take so much of th'example, as of the name;
159.52c.012  The latter half; and in some recompence
159.52c.013  That they did harbour%2 Christ %1himself, a Guest,
159.52c.014  Harbour these%2 Hymns, %1to his dear name addrest%2.
