Meditation.
1.
MY God came downe in thunder once, but thenThe sonnes of menAffrighted at the dreadfull cracke,Sounded, fell backe,Desiring not his presence so agen.
2.
My God came downe in whirlewinds too, and flame,But his great Name,So blazon'd, did astonish moreThan heretofore,When pointed thunder his loud Herrald came.
3.
My God came downe in flesh and blood, and thenThe Sonnes of men,To such familiar mercy call,Their spleene and gallTo properate his hast to heaven agen.
4.
My God comes daily downe, in bread and wine,A feast divine:
descriptionPage [unnumbered]
But grounds, and oxen hinder some,They cannot come;Exclude them then, sayes God, they are not mine.
5.
My God comes downe in each repentant teareWhich my sad feare,Of his displeasure, and my sinne exhales'Tis that which balesMy soule, for all the good shee's in a••teare.
6.
Come to mee still, my God, or else let mee;So thou assist my footsteps, go•• to thee.I know the way, for if to thee I come,Thou art as well the voyage as the home.If thou to mee, my soule no passage feares:••y thunder whitle winde, flesh, or ••east, or teares.
