_Non sum dignus ut sub tecta mea venias._ Matt. viii. 8.
In tua tecta Deus veniet: tuus haud sinit illud
Et pudor atque humili in pectore celsa fides.
Illum ergo accipies, quoniam non accipis: ergo
In te jam veniet, non tua tecta Deus.[52]
_I am not worthy that Thou shouldst come under my roofe._
Thy God was making hast into thy roofe;
Thy humble faith and feare keepes him aloofe.
Hee'll be thy guest, because He may not be;
Hee'll come--into thy house? No, into thee. CR.
