My words take fire from my inflamed thoughts, which spit it forth like the Sicilian hill. They vent the wares, and pass them with their faults and by their breathing ventilate the ill. But words suffice not, where are lewd intentions: my hands do join to finish the inventions.
Sorry I am, my God, sorry I am, that my offenses course it in a ring. My thoughts are working like a busy flame, until their cockatrice they hatch and bring: and when they once have perfected their draughts, my words take fire from my inflamed thoughts.
I gave to hope a watch of mine: but he an anchor gave to me. Then an old prayer-book I did present: and he and optic sent. With that I gave a vial full of tears: but he a few green ears: Ah Loiterer! I will no more, no more I'll bring: I did expect a ring.
Wherefore unto my gift I stand; I will no more advise: only do thou lend me a hand, since thou hast both mine eyes.
How know I, if thou shouldst me raise, that I should then raise thee? Perhaps great places and the praise do not so well agree.
But when I thus dispute and grieve, I do resume my sight, and pilf'ring what I once did give, disseize thee of thy right.
Were it not better to bestow some place and power on me? Then should thy praises with me grow, and share in my degree.
But that thou art my wisdom, Lord, and both mine eyes are thine, my mind would be extremely stirr'd for missing my design.
"For however much obscurity there may be in the Word, there is still always enough light to convict the conscience of the wicked." John Calvin Institutes, 3.24.13
Every new day is filled up with new things, new mercies on the Lord's part, new ingratitude on mine.
“Light from Light” rabbitroom.com/2018/03/light-…
I straight return'd, and knowing his great birth, sought him accordingly in great resorts; in cities, theaters, gardens, parks, and courts: at length I heard a ragged noise and mirth of thieves and murderers: there, I him espied who straight, "Your suit is paid," said, and died.
If I should dare to climb the pulpit . . . without carefully pondering how I must apply the Holy Scripture to the edification of the people, then I should be a charlatan.
In heaven at his manor I him sought: they told me there, that he was lately gone about some land, which he had dearly bought long since on earth, to take possession.
Light From Light. Week 3 of Songs From The Valley writings. sandramccracken.com/songsfromtheva…
Having been tenant long to a rich Lord, not thriving, I resolved to be bold, and make a suit unto him, to afford a new small-rented lease, and cancel the old.
Then Sin combin'd with Death in a firm band to raze the building to the very floor: which they effected, none could them withstand. But Love and Grace took Glory by the hand, and built a braver Palace than before.
Then enter'd Sin, and with that Sycomore, whose leaves first sheltered man from drought and dew, working and winding silly evermore, the inward walls and Sommers cleft and tore: But Grace shor'd these, and cut that as it grew.
"Inasmuch as God establishes your salvation in Himself alone, why do you descend to yourself? Since he appoints for you His mercy alone, why do you have recourse to your own merits?" - John Calvin, Institutes 3.22.6
