To him that made these hymns

Thers but one god, that this vvorld one hath made,
One Christ, one Truth, one faith, one hope, one loue,
To serve this one, in hymns of ones, dost shade
Thy zeale, to teach vs that in one vve moue.
Loe, as thy hymns be ones, so is thy name but odd,
Hovv fitt? both name, & hymns doe ioyne to praise one god,
Thus ten, & one, in one thou hast novve framd,
That vve in one should keepe the lavve often,
Thus by seaven, & seaven thou hast them so namd
For seaven tymes seaven day by day vve breake them.
Loe, your hymns, of one, Ten, & one, & seaven by seaven
Learns, god to laud, his lavve to keepe, the vvay to heauen.
G. F.
