I.
[TO THE BLESSED TRINITY.]
Svpreme Essence, beginning, vnbegun,
Ay Trinall Ane, ane vndevydit Three,
Eternall Word, vha victorie hes wun
Ouir death, ouir hell, triumphing on the trie,
Forknavlege, Wysdome, and All-seing Ee,
Iehovah, Alpha and Omega, All,
Lyk vnto nane, nor nane lyk vnto Thee,
Vnmovt vha movis the rounds about the Ball,
Contener vnconteind; is, was, and sall
Be, sempiternall, mercifull, and just.
Creator vncreatit, nou I call.
Teich me Thy treuth, since vnto Thee I trust,
Incres, confirme, and strenthen from aboue
My faith, my hope, and, by the lave, my loue.
