[Meditation we may fitly call]
Meditation
we may fitly call
The Souls arithmetitian, summing all
Our sins together; Nay, and every day
Cyphers them up, and teaches us to pray:
Then let us meditate, and strive to do
What our Arithmetitian leads us too.
The Souls arithmetitian, summing all
Our sins together; Nay, and every day
Cyphers them up, and teaches us to pray:
Then let us meditate, and strive to do
What our Arithmetitian leads us too.
He that will true examples learn to give;
First let him learn to dye, and then to live:
Prefer the surest first; for you and I
Vncertain are to live, but sure to dye.
First let him learn to dye, and then to live:
Prefer the surest first; for you and I
Vncertain are to live, but sure to dye.
