2 If you were once born from above, Though but young Babes you were, You with this Milk would fall in love, And say it tasteth rare.
3 But whilst your evil nature is Corrupted thus with sin, And glutted are continually With filthy trash within,
3 But whilest your evil nature is Corrupted thus with sin, And glutted are continually With filthy trash within,
4 You cannot relish this sweet Food, Your Mouths are out of taste, And therefore you don't find it good, But want it will at last:
5 But you who are God's little ones, What cause have you to sing, That you have plenty still of Milk, And every other thing.
