TO THE KING OF KINGS, AND Lord of Lords, Iesus Christ.
EVery good name is as precious ointment; but vntounto the (oh CHRIST) hath God giuen a name aboue all names in heauen and earth, annoynted thee with oyle aboue all thy fellowes. All thy garments smell of Mirrhe, Aloes, and Cassia; because of the sent of thy perfumes, thy name is a bundle of Mirrhe, cluster of Camphire, and as the smell of Libanus: But wee the sonnes of men, hauehave dull senses stuffed with earthly sauours. Oh therefore that thou, whom my soule loueth, wouldest shew thy seruant, where that fragrant Spikenard is to bee found, which will cast a sauour all ouer thine house; and helpe him so to powre some smell portion thereof vponupon thine head, as might draw vsus in the sauour of thine oyntment to runne after thee, Had he all the treasures and Iewels of the world, would hee not bestowe them vponupon Altars and Crucifixes to thy honour, if thou likedst of and such seruices? But these vanities, hee knoweth full well, thy Ielousie abhorreth. This thou hast shewed him, that hee that prayseth thee, honoureth thee. Accept therefore, and prosper the Office of him that desireth not heereby to gaine a name on earth, who wisheth all his thoughts and workes may either honour thee, or dishonour himselfe; feed thy flocke, or mothes; who reckoneth himselfe vnworthy to bee as one of thy whelpes, is willing to bee of no name or number, so thou mayest bee ALL IN ALL.
Guide thou my Pen, and it shall shew forth thy praise.
