Lamentacion.Oh, therfore hath the Man, to wayt duly for
24
Oh! who shall cause the Man, Understanding, for to taste/
That mought release him, from his greuous Smart?
Understanding.
If eueryone woulde enter, into his owne Heart/
And dealt in sucht-sort, as he woulde be dealt withall:
If Loue and Peace were sought, both of Great and Small:
And woulde eueryone becom, the Least, and not the Cheefe:
Then shoulde the Man right-soone, be cured of his Greefe.
His Loue shoulde also bee, like a Fyer that is glowing:
And God shoulde then likewyse ; with his Grace, ouerflowing;
Be working in the Man/as Hee was wont to doo.
Lamentacion.
O God Father/vouch safe to strenghten vs thertoo:
For, to that ende wil we go proffer ourselues vnto the Man/
To see if his Heart therto, stirr-vpp or mooue we can/
With the holy Scripture, which thou doest witnes playne:
That happly he ; by thar meanes; mought vet once agayne
Suck the right Knowledg, of the godly Uerety.
The X. Chapter.
