[Affection.] Ah my soule, comme and be∣hold this heauenly Visiō. See how Moyses his burning bush, whom noe fire of concu∣piscence could euer touch, begins to melt away in the fire of loue. See our sacred Salamander readie to consume in the fla∣mes which she loued, wherin she liued, & wherwith she was ••o deliciously nourished. O that this cold lūpe were better acquain∣ted with this deare torment, with this fire which burnes so delightfully. At least, ô thou Blessed Holocauste of Loue, preuayle by thy powerfull prayers, that the fire of the Holy Ghost may burne my reynes and hart, that I may serue him with a chaste body, and please him with a cleane hart.
