A Psalme of reioising for the woonderfull loue of Christ, ratified by his meritorious death and passion for our spirituall redemtion.

Let vs be glad and clap our hands,
with ioy our soules to fill:
For Christ hath paid the price of sinne,
with mercie and good will.
By his good will he flesh became,
for sinfull fleshes sake:
By his good will disdained not,
most shamefull death to take.
By his goodwill his bloud was spilt,
his bodie all to rent:
By his goodwill to saue vs all,
he therewith was content.
By his good will death hath no power.
our sinfull soules to kill:
For Christ hath paid the price of sinne,
with mercie and good will.
Since Christ so deerely loued vs,
let vs from sinne refraine:
For Christ desireth nothing els,
in lieu of all his paine.
And that we should ech other loue,
as he vs loou'd before:

70

So shall his loue abide in vs,
and dwell for euermore.
Let then our loue so dwell in him,
our wicked lusts to kill:
For Christ hath paide the price of sinne,
with mercie and good will.
AMEN.
