The Argument.
[The mercye of God is merueylous]
The mercye of God is merueylous:VVhich whē it pleaseth him to extēd
On men, no wile so mischeuous,
Can it peruert from perfect end
As in this worthye hystorye,
It by a Duchesse maye appeare,
VVhich faslye of adulterye
Accused, is condemned heare
For to be burned in a fyre:
As then the custome did requyre:
But God, which still defendeth ryght,
From deathe hath her delyuered,
By prowesse of a Spanishe knyght:
VVhom afterward she maryed.
