ALthough we doe not all the Good we loue,But still, in loue, desire to doe the same;Nor leaue the finnes we hate, but hating moueOur Soule and Bodies Powres, their Powres to tame;The Good we doe, God takes as done aright;That we desire to doe, He takes as done:The sinne we shunne, He will with Grace requite;And not impute the sinne we seeke to shunne.

But, good Desires produce no worser Deeds;For, God doth both together (lightly) giue:Because he knowes a righteous Man must needs"By Faith, that workes by Loue, for euer liue:Then, to doe nought, but onely in Desire,Is Loue that burnes, but burnes like painted Fire.
