THE PRELVDE.
THou hast wounded my hart▪ with
thy loue: sayth, the beloued
Spouse to her Spouse, in the bur∣den
or holding of her song.a 1.1
1. Point. Consider the hart to be
like to that Iland they say to be
continually caryed and posted here
and there, with the waues of the
northern sea, nor euer to rest til tou∣ched
with burning shafts: so are
mens harts being tossed with the
tempests of diuers concupiscences,
nor can be staid or kept in, but tou∣ched
and struck with the dart of di∣uine
loue. Hence that saying of S.
descriptionPage 224
Augustine being once caryed away
with the vogue and wind of euil af∣fections
and now ceasing from the
course of his former impieties, Thou
hast shot our hart, my God, with thy
charity.b 1.2
2. Point. Consider the blessed fe∣licity
and happy state to be wished
for of the hart,c 1.3 as wel wounded
with the loue of IESVS as dying of
the wound. For this is a kind of
death whereof the Sonne of God
himself and his holy Mother dyed;
and which al pious soules are wont
to dye of.
3. Point. Attend to what are the
motions and exultations of the hart,
touched with diuine loue. Charity
(saith that great Coripheus of the
Quier of IESVS his louers] is pa∣tient
benigne, not enuious, or see∣king
its priuate comodities.

THE COLLOQVY.
SHal be directed to the Angels,
beseeching them to driue away
Cupid that infamous princock boy,
that lewd stripling, to knap his ar∣rowes
asunder, and to burst his qui∣uer,
that he may neuer more come
neere my hart, or offer any violence
to it.
