XV.

1

Who in thy Tabernacle stay,
Lord, who shall dwell with thee

2

Vpon thy holie mount? the man
That walketh vprightlie,
Who just is in his works, and wayes,
Whose mouth and minde aggree

3

In speiking truth. Whose harmles tongue
Is from backbiteing free.
Hee who his freind to hurt forbears,
And carefullie taks heid
His neighbour nor defam'd to hear,
Nor his reproach to spread.

4

Vile persons, in whose purer eyes
Contemptible appear;
But faithfull men, that fear the Lord,
Ar honord and held dear.
Hee to his hurt, thogh haveing sworne,
Whose faith no change doth stayne.

5

By biteing vsūrie who makes
Not, by his money, gayne.
Hee gainst the innocent for bribes
Who hath not partiall prov'd.
The man who these things shall attayne
Shall in no time be mov'd.
