A CHRISTIAN PARADISE: OR A Divine Posie, Compiled of sundry Flowers of Meditation, gathered from the Sweet and Heavenly Contemplation of the Nature, Fruites, and Qualities of Gardens.

BY WILLIAM PRYNNE, late Exile and Close Prisoner in the Isle of Iersy.

Isaiah 61. 10. 11.

I Will greatly rejoyce in the Lord, my Soule shall be joyfull in my God, for he hath cloathed me with the Garments of Salvation, he hath co∣vered me with the Robe of Righteousnesse: as a Bridegroome decketh himselfe with Ornaments, and as a Bride adorneth her selfe with her Jewels. For as the Earth bringeth forth her bud, & as the GARDEN causeth the things that are sowne in it to spring forth; so the Lord will cause Righteousnesse and praise to spring forth before all the Nations.

Cant. 5. 1.

I am come into my GARDEN my Sister, my Spouse; I have gathered my Myrrhe with my Spice; I have eaten my Honey-combe with my Honey, I have drunke my Wine with my Milke. O Friends, drinke and be drunken with love, O beloved.

Isaiah 58. 11.

And the Lord shall guide thee continually, and satisfie thy Soule in drought; and make fat thy bones; and thou shalt be like a watred GAR∣DEN, and like a Spring of Water, whose waters faile not.

London Printed by T. Cotes, for Michael Sparke dwelling at the blue Bible in Greene Arbor. 1641.
