THE INCENTIVE.
1. NOthing is more miserable
then the hart when it giues
licence to wandring imaginations,
and liberty to self loue. My God!
what images! what phantasies! what
enormityes! what folies are depain∣ted
there!
2.But after that IESVS, the di∣uine
Painter, hath entred into the
shop of the hart, & taken the hart
it-self as a table to draw and paint
therein, thou maist streight discouer
the image of God and Trinity refor∣med;
the effigies of IESVS, and
MARY drawne, the whole cele∣stial
Court represented, and the face
of the gallantst vertues expressed;
whether with greater lustre of co∣lours,
or feeling of piety, or dele∣ctation
of the mind I can not say.
descriptionPage 137
3. O most louing IESV, imbue
my hart with the colours of Hea∣uen,
paint not shadowes, but gen∣uine
and natiue images, snowy in∣nocence,
greenes of hope, the purest
gold of charity; that so the closet of
my hart may come to be a certaine
Cabinet or Reliquary of al perfe∣ctions.
