A dyall of dayly Contemplacion, or deuine exercise of the mind | ||
[Mans soule is a iewell incomperable]
Mans soule is a iewell incomperable,By Christe his bloodshed dearely bought,
VVherefore he wyll that we be coumptable,
To him in good wyll for sauety sought.
VVhen to captiue vs Satan sought,
Bereft of all solace then surely were wee,
Tyll this our champion for vs fought.
VVe deserued the scourge of his equitee.
