thy carnali

heart to

choofe

unto

thee comfort

what

is

but

thus, O Lord

let

me rather

have comfort

fsom

meat anddrink

then

from

any

worke

of the

holy

Ghof,

we hear in

thy

word

that the

holy

Ghoft

is

defigned

by

thy

felfe and thy

Son

to be

the comforter

of

the

Saints,

but

thofe are

the

comforts

Í

have

no

skill

in,

Ihad

rather

have

meare and drinke

and fatisfie

my

iulls,and for

the

comforts

of

the

holy Choft,

I will venture them

whether

I

have

any

part

in

them

yea

or

no

:

--

well

but

what

ever they doe,

ye

that

are

of
