taste the dainties of thy royal feast,With hands and \acc unwashd, ungirt, unblest . First, let the Jordan streams, that find supplies From the deep fountain of my heart, arise, And cleanse my spots, and clear my leprons eyes. I have a world of sins to be lamented ;I have a sen of tears that must be vented :0 spare till then ; and then I die contented. S. AUGUST. Lib. de Civit. Dei. Cap. x.The time wherein we live, is taken from the space ofour life ; and what remaineth, is daily made less, insomuchthat the time of our life is nothing but a passage to death. S. GREG. Lib. ix. Cap. lxiv. in Job.As moderate afflictions bring tears, so immoderate takeaway tears ; insomuch that sorrow becometh no sorrow,which swallowing up the mind of the afflicted, taketh awaythe sense of the affliction. Epig. 13.Fearst thou to go, when such an arm invites thee?Dreadst thou thy loads of sin ? or what affrights thee ?If thou begin to fear, thy fear begins :Fool, can he bear thee hence, and not thy sins ?
