I. AMongst the pure Ones all, which Conscience doth profess, And yet that sort of Conscience, doth practise nothing less; I mean the Sect, of those Elect, that loth to live by Merit; That lead their Lives with other Mens Wives, according unto the Spirit. II. One met with a Holy Sister of ours, a Saint who dearly Lov'd him, And fain he wou'd have Kist her, because the Spirit mov'd him, But she deny'd, and he reply'd, your Damn'd unless you do it, Therefore Consent, do not Repent, for the Spirit doth move me to it. III. She not willing to offend, She yielded unto his Motion, And so these Two did end, in perfect true Devotion, To be kind to a Friend and Brother, she thought she shou'd die no Sinner, But e're five Months was past, at last the Spirit was quick within her. IV. But what will the Wicked say, says she, when they shall hear of this Rumour, They will Laugh at us every Day, and Scoff us in every Corner; Says he, let them do so still, if that they will, we mean not to follow their Fashion, They're none of our Sect, nor none of our Elect, nor none of our Congregation. V. But when the time was come, that she was to be Laid, It was no very great Crime committed by her they said, 'Cause they did know, and she did show 'twas done by a Friend and Brother, But a very great Sin, they said it had been, if it had been done by another. VI. And being so Devout, they said they wou'd go Pray, They put the Candles out, and so they went their way, Like Brethren and Sisters dear, much like to the Family of Love, Each took his Sister, and kindly kist her, because the Spirit did move.
