Psalm XV. Domine, quis habitabit?
In tabernacle thine ô Lord who shall remaine?Lord of thy holy hill, who shall the rest, obtaine?
Ev'n he that leades a life of uncorrupted traine,
Whose deedes of righteous hart, whose harty wordes be plain:
Who with deceitfull tongue, hath never us'd to faine,
Nor neighboure hurtes by deede nor doth with slander stain:
Whose eyes a parson vile, doth hold in vile disdaine,
But doth with honor greate, the godly entertaine:
Who othe and promise given, doth faithfully maintain,
Although some worldly losse thereby he may sustain:
From bityng Usury who ever doth refraine:
Who sells not guiltlesse cause for filthy love of gain:
Who thus proceedes for ay in sacred mount shall raign.
