THE PRELVDE.
I Came to send fire into the earth and
what would I els but haue it burne.a 1.1
1. Point. Consider how necessary
it is the hart enflamed with loue,
should mount vp and vanish into
vapours; and so great is the force
of this flame, as it ascends to heauen
streight, where it arriues without
impediment: nor hath the world,
descriptionPage 233
without God, ought that can satiate
and replenish the bosome of the
hart.
2. Point. Consider, how subtle
and actiue the flame of diuine loue
is piercing, cleare, neuer idle, vn∣quiet,
impatient to beheld shut vp
in any other place then in the boso∣me
of the Crucifix; where as in a
furnace of loue, it purges and re∣purges
ouer and ouer, and receiues
new life and vigour againe.
3. Point. Note the matter and fuel
of this fire to be al those things

THE COLLOQVY.
SHal be directed to Christ whom
I wil seeme to behold with two
burning lamps in his hands: I wil
beseech him, to purge whatsoeuer
is vnperfect or vicious in me, and to
reduce the very hart to dust & ashes:
that a new may arise like a Phe∣nix,
which after he hath laid downe
the spoyles or weedes of his mor∣tallity,
resuscitates a new, and re∣uiues
againe from the tomb it-self,
more beautiful and a great deale
better.
