SONNET. XI.
MErcifull Iesus thine eyeliddes of grace
Decline vnto a wicked sory sinner
Humbly prostrate, who (but a new beginner)
Begges that thine holy Ghost might Sathan chase
From his foule soule, ordaind for thy pallace:
as it did Mary Mag'daline saue, and winne her
From seuen foule spirits which did raigne within her:
But now behold a more contagious place,
A place where the seuen mortall sinnes roote take,
From whence beside all ougly crimes braunch out,
With each of these seuen legions doe pertake
Of vncleane spirits raging round about:
Oh now deare Iesus, Iesus shew thy power,
And driue them forth, least they my soule deuoure.
