[Here is the fountayne of humane felicitie]

[Thus the quotidian and fruitefull remembrance]

[Againe and againe within thy mind reuolue]

[VVhat troubles, terrours, and tormentes haue]

[Freendles among his foes in feoble plight]

[Christe was accused in presence of Pilate.]

[More sweetenesse tis vnto sound conscience]

More sweetenesse tis vnto sound conscience,
And vertuous lyfe with delectation,
Then any pleasant carnall complacence,
Or fadyng gladnes of worldly abusion,
To please God euer in conclusion,
VVith vertuous lyfe, whose solace is most deare,
Full recompenst with hyre of heauenly crowne.
As of Gods saintes examples witnesse beare.
