[Of our soules Lord we make record with ruthe]
Of our soules Lord we make record with ruthe,As flowres fayre, tender, and delicate,
To Christe our spouse wedded with ring of truthe,
Though in this life we haue dayly debate,
Yet graunt in fayth that we be laureate,
From hurtfull sinne with syncere conscience,
O Lord to thee let vs not liue ingrate,
Sithe thou with vs wolte haue thy residence.
