Oh Jesus, fountain ever flowing, Thy graces on mans soul bestowing: To thee I run with thirsty heart, And none shall want, though I have part.
Oh Iesus, fountaine euer flowing, Thy graces on mans soule bestowing: To thee I runne with thirsty heart, And none shall want, though I haue part.
For others it shall be said. Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength: but trusted in the abundances 1of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness. But the faithful shall be like a green Olive-tree in the house of God; and of a fresher blee then Daniel; whom the mercy of God, wherein he 2trusts, waters for ever and ever. The Colour of this glassy Sea vanisheth, like the beauty of a flower; and when it is withered, who shall revive it? Rub your eyes, and look on this world better: it hath but a surphul'd cheek, a coloured beauty; which God shall one day scour off with a flood of fire. Trust not this Glass for reflection; as if it could present you truly to your own judgements. It is but a false Glass, and will make you enamoured both of your selves and it: till at last, the Glass being broken, the Sea swallows you. Thus for the Colour.
