ess beloved elm so fast ; Boast not thy flames, blind boy, thy featherd shot ;Let Hymens easy snarls be quite forgot;Time cannot quench our fires, nor death dissolve ourknot. ORIG. Mom. x. in Divers.O most holy Lord, and sweetest Master, how good artthou to those that are of upright heart, and humble spirit!O how blessed are the) that seek thee with a simple heart!how happy that trust in thee ! It is a most certain truth, thatthou lovest all that love thee, and never forsakest those thattrust in thee : for, behold, thy love simply sought thee, andundoubtedly found thee : she trusted in thee, and is not for-saken of thee, but hath obtained more by thee, than sheexpected from thee. BEDA in Cap. iii. Cant.The longer I was in finding whom I sought, the moreearnestly I beheld him being found. EPIG. 12.What ? found him out ? let strong embraces bind him ;He 11 fly, perchance, where tears can never find him :New sins will lose what old repentance gains.Wisdom not only gets, but got, retains.
