Upon the DEATH of the Virtuous and Religious Mrs. Lydia Minot, (The wife of Mr. John Minot of Dorchester;)
The Mother of Five Children, who Died in CHILD-BED of the Sixth; and together therewith was Interred January 27. 1667.
HEre lyes the Mother, & the Child, Interr'd in one;
Both waiting for the same Bless'd Resurrection.
She first to it was Life; Then to't became a Grave,
Dead in her Womb: To fetch it thence, Death to her gave.
The Life and Death of both, his Sov'raignty Makes known,
Who gives and takes at will, and no Controll can own.
The Fruit and Tree together here lyes pluck't, yet sure
That Root whence a Saint's All doth spring, must firm endure,
Eternal Love, in which the Sap's the same, that feeds
Each Branch, be't 〈…〉〈…〉 so it needs.
