3 Ye Fools, what is't that you do drink? 'Tis puddle-water base, It stinks, 'tis filthy, God it loathes, O taste of his sweet grace,
3 Ye Fools, what is't that you do drink? 'Tis puddle-water base, It stinks, 'tis filthy, God it loaths, O taste of his sweet grace,
4 And sinful joys will hateful be, And you will spue them up; Come taste a little Water: See! Come try! Take one small sup,
5 And you will say God's love, O 'tis Most pleasant to your taste! ⟨p. 186⟩But the chief sweetness is reserved For us to drink at last.
