Meditation II.
[1] And now my Soul, go to, For thine instruction 1What canst thou learn, when thou art told What Saints have undergone? Soul. I see I have too long 2Me with my self compared, And by much poring on my self Have been too much ensnared.
[1] ANd now my Soul, go to, For thine instruction 1What canst thou learn, when thou art told What Saints have undergone? Soul. I see I have too long 2Me with my self compar'd, And by much poreing on my self Have been too much ensnar'd.
[2] I thought my own condition Sometimes more sad then any: But now I see I have not felt One half so much as many. These Saints forementioned, It plainly doth appear, Have suffered more in one Months time, Then I have in a Year.
