                                How freely this kinde Pelican doth bleed.<lb/>

                                To cure their sorrowes, she, her selfe doth wound;<lb/>

                                That Pelican, which in the Wildernesse<lb/>
                                Of this vast World, was left (as all alone)<lb/>
                                Our miserable Nature to bemone;<lb/>

                                When he beheld his owne unthankfull Brood<lb/>
                                His Favours, and his Mercies, then, contemne,<lb/>
                                When with his wings he would have brooded them:<lb/>
                                And, sought their endlesse peace to have confirm'd,<lb/>
                                Though, to procure his ruine, they were arm'd.<lb/>
                                To be their Food, himselfe he freely gave;<lb/>
                                His Heart was pierc'd, that he their Soules might save.<lb/>
                                Because, they disobey'd the Sacred-will,<lb/>
                                He, did the Law of Righteousnesse fulfill;<lb/>
                                And, to that end (though guiltlesse he had bin)<lb/>
                                Was offred, for our Vniversall-sinne.<lb/>
                                Let mee Oh God ! for ever, fixe mine eyes<lb/>
                                Vpon the Merit of that Sacrifize :<lb/>
                                Let me retaine a due commemoration<lb/>
                                Of those deare Mercies, and that bloudy Passion,<lb/>
                                Which here is meant; and, by true Faith, still, feed<lb/>
