3 Sometimes thy Spirit blows so slow As if it quite were still, Yet at such times his work doth do With strange and wondrous skill:
4 From all which things it doth appear Th' Spirit Operations Are sometimes less, and sometimes more, He differs in his motions.
5 Let's cry to God who holds Winds In his Almighty Fist, Who makes it blow this way or that, As he himself doth list;
6 That he would send a fresher gale Upon his Garden so, That our sweet Fruit may never fail, But Spices forth may flow.
