Religion
Joh. 16. Verily I say unto you, yee shall weep and lament.
Religion
WElcome my Grife, my Ioy; how deare's
To me my Legacy of Teares!
I'le weepe, and weepe, and will therefore
Weepe, 'cause I can weepe no more…
Thou, thou (Deare Lord) even thou alone,
Giv'st joy, even when thou givest none.
