[Sinne is the cause of our perdition]

Sinne is the cause of our perdition,
Sinne, of the Deuill is daughter venemons,
In soule and body sinne causeth corruption,
Sinne is a sicknesse right contagious,
Sinne maketh a man foolishe and furious,
All in wood rage running without reason,
His dayes ouerdriuing in state styll daungerous,
VVith confused course of time and season.
