Which book did you find this in? |
No, I find this poem on the Internet. It's the "Meditation 1" of Edward Taylor.
Quote:
Nay = No >> "No, overflowing Hell" = No, it has even overflowed Hell - filled it to excess
"thine elect" = those who are chosen
"Veans" = "veins"
"That the blood from Christ's wounds, through our veins, will quench the flames [of passion] that otherwise will feed on us".

I thought it was the flames of hell? What does "the flames of passion" mean?
If we are encouraged by passions, it will be a very good thing for us????
