1. Point. Consider IESVS to be
truly a Nazarean, that is flowry or
flourishing; for the loues to be con∣uersant
with the sweet odours, and
flowers of vertues. Wherefore I wil
ponder, how grateful it is to him to
repose and rest himself among the
lillyes of purity and chastity; the ro∣ses
of martyrdome and mortifica∣tion,
the violets of humility and
prayer; the Sunne-affecting mari∣golds,
that is, the noble soules, and
pliant to euery beck, of the diuine
descriptionPage 169
wil; and other garden plots, of the
rest of vertues, with whose loues,
he is so taken, as that euery-where,
at al occasions, he sents their odours
and hunts after them.
2. Point. These flowers should ne∣uer
fade, with any weather, not with
the parching heate of the sunne, I
say should not wither with the heat
of carnal temptations, nor hang the
head with the southerly wind of au∣stere
sadnes; nor pinched vvith the
cold and frozen blust••ring of the
north, that is, not nipt or blasted with
the euil breath of dulnes in spiritual
things: but should rather be conti∣nually
watered with the dew of ce∣lestial
graces, and from the substance
of the hart, deuo'yd of al corruption,
draw and deriue their iuice & bloud,
where by they might prosper and
flourish euer••more.
3. Point. I vvil seeme to behold
descriptionPage 170
the litle IESVS, sporting in this
litle flovvry garden of the hart, pic∣king
here and there, and plucking
with his hand, now those flowers;
the Angels remayning astonished at
so great familiarity, and adoring the
vvhile. But for me I wil resolue vvith
my self, to keep especially the lilly
of chastity inuiolable, vvithout the
least staine or blemish of its candour.
