A good Stream hath a good Spring; so must our desires. The Spring of the Churches desires here, is ⟨p. 30⟩Love; she loves Christ, and therefore desires him to come quickly.
A good Streame hath a good Spring; so must our desires. The Spring of the Churches desires here, is ⟨p. 30⟩Love; shee loves Christ, and therefore desires him to come quickly.
A Stream, you know, 1carries all before it; so our desires are an holy Stream, issuing from a good Spring, and carrying all before them. They are efficacious; not a mere velleity, as they say, a bare wishing and woulding.
A Streame, you know, 1carryes all before it; so our desires are an holy Streame, issuing from a good Spring, and carrying all before them. They are efficacious; not a meere velleitie, as they say, a bare wishing and woulding.

A Stream, if it be stopped, will swell till it break 1down all opposition, and carry all before it; so let a good desire be stopped, and it will swell more and more, and grow bigger and bigger, till it makes way for it self.
