Good-thinking.They do almost all ; for Succour; vnder our Wings resort
For we two generally ; of all Men; are the Gouernours.
But therin Cosen am I, the cheefe of the Commishonours:
For verely I Good-thinking, the greatest swaye do beare.
Through Good-thinking I deceaue, Man and Woman eury wheare.
Many lay People, do beleeue the suttle Sleights I frame.
Thear-are olso many Learned ones, that preache in my Name.
Thus am I ; among all Names; the Cheefest of Renowne.
Unregarding.
O Good-thinking, thou shalt not so disgrace and put me downe
For I am the First borne, and ; before the; begunne.
When Man grew vnregarding, and by falling, was vndunne/
Did he com first, into Good-thinkings Hands?
The Man ; being plaest, in the Best of all Landes;
Became ; euen-theare; Unregarding, in his Thoughts/
And Disobeyed God/by setting his Woord at noughts:
Takeing on him, Knowledg, in steede of the liueing Ueritee.
Thus ; by vnregarding; first, the Man grew to Debillitee:
And fel alway from God, in his owne Knowledg, going-astraye
All this haue I myself brought forth, as heere in breefe I saye.
Euen thus did I gett Power, heer-at take thou no storne.
And so after thatt, wert thou ; Good-thinking; borne.
Therfore keepe thou silence, in clayming Superioritee.
