A newe Treatyse deuyded in thre [arties | ||
Mane sicut herba transeat mane floreat & transeat vespere descidat. &c.
The Prophete sayeth thus, in that caseA man passeth away, as doth the grasse
He floureth, and soone passeth away
And at euen, it is downe brought
That fadeth and wexeth all to nought
In the begynnynge of man, hym was gyue
Nyne hundred yeare, in earth to lyue
As Clarckes in bokes, beareth wytnes
And sayeth, that mannes lyfe is drawe to shortnes
For God wolde, that it shulde so be
And God sayde hym selfe, so vnto Noe.
