Trueth.
I Trueth, am High-priest, in Gods Kingdom, alway/
In Mee, theternall Lyfe, is firme, without decaye.
That doth my true Father, work in Mee aright.
For in his mighty Kingdom, I am the perfect Light:
Also my Fathers Waye, like as tis written ryfe:
The right Uyne-stock, and the eternall Lyfe.
For without the Trueth, God cannot pleased bee.
Therfore the High-priests-office, hath Hee resignd to Mee.

I am the Tree
of Lyfe, out of Loue bloweing.
If Playne-and-iust do still, in Mee; remayne growing,
Then with him at all tymes, shall it go right-well.
All Nations shall serue him, that vnder Heauen do dwell:
For him hath God loued, and likewyse elected:
But if he fall from Mee, he is lost and quyt reiected:
For I am the Foundation, the right Grounde-stone.
Ther is not any other, but I myself alone,
Wheron all Understanding, must euermore be grounded.
Although ther be many Testimonyes, florishingly forth-sounded/
Yet do I counsaile Playne and-iust, with Mee to tary still.
Which if he doo, noman then, can him destroye or kill.
