Thy life on earth was grief, and thou art still / Constant unto it, making it to be / A point of honour, now to grieve in me ~Affliction III

and as thou art / All my delight, so all my smart; / Thy cross took up in one (Affliction II)
Thou art my grief alone, / Thou Lord conceal it not (Affliction II)
KIll me not ev’ry day, / Thou Lord of life; since thy one death for me / Is more then all my deaths can be ~ Affliction (II)
Sorrow was all my soul; I scarce believed, / Till grief did tell me roundly, that I lived. ~ Affliction (I)
My flesh began unto my soul in pain, / Sicknesses cleave my bones; / Consuming agues dwell in ev’ry vein, / And tune my breath to groans
How should I praise Thee, Lord! how should my rymes / Gladly engrave Thy love in steel (The Temper I)
Doctrine and life, colours and light, in one / When they combine and mingle, bring / A strong regard and awe (The Windows)
Yet Lord restore thine image, hear my call:/And though my hard heart scarce to Thee can groan,/Remember that thou once didst write in stone
"A heart alone / Is such a stone, / As nothing but / Thy pow’r doth cut" (The Altar)
"Thy life is Gods, thy time to come is gone, / And is His right." (Discharge)
My God, what is a heart?/That thou shouldst it so eye,and woo,/Powring upon it all thy art,/As if that thou hadst nothing els to do? Mattens
"Happie is he, whose heart / Hath found the art / To turn his double pains to double praise" (Man's Medley)
"To this life things of sense / Make their pretence" (Mans Medley)
"instantly / I sat me down to spell them, and perceived / That to my broken heart it was 'I ease you', / And to the whole is J E S U" (Jesu)
"thou art a masse / Of strange delights, where we may wish & take" (The Holy Scriptures I)
"Small it is, in this poore sort / To enroll thee: / Ev’n eternitie is to short / To extoll thee." (Praise III)
Sev’n whole dayes, not one in seven, / I will praise thee. / In my heart, though not in heaven, / I can raise thee. (Praise III)
The poet uses 'utmost art' to express ordinary human experience of God's extraordinary love. (Helen Wilcox on George Herbert)
"That all things were more ours by being His" (The Holdfast)
