therefore I pray you, not a hand∣full of the Persians vvater offe∣red to an vncircumcised Kesar: but a handfull of the vvater of Life, offred by the Lord his poor servant, vnto an open professed Christian. A vvise Lapidarie chooseth not stones so much for outward quantitie, as inherent qualitie: nor I hope, vvill you so much measure my guift with the bodily eye, as by the Line of the Mind, or spirituall eye: where∣upon setting downe my wrest, I here rest: Beseeching the Lord in all goodnes, to be vvith you and yours for ever, Amen.
EDIN∣BVRGH, 1596.
Your poore vnworthie Kins∣man, HENOCH CLAPHAM.
