Shall blessings proue our curse, desire our bane? Shall wish attaine his will? will worke our wo? Shall profit be our losse? losse turne to gaine? Shall Gods great goodnesse be requited so? Should fathers kindnesse make a child a fo? (O God forbid) our vowes were other, whan Our tyred soules, our prayers first began To send, as suters to our God to go. His loue to vs did our desires procure, Let our desires his growing loue allure.
