[To waye the wickednesse of corrupt nature]
To waye the wickednesse of corrupt nature,In ballance, with Gods deuine iustice,
Eyther our good deedes is absurd and obscure,
Presumptuous were such our enterprise,
From the earth, the dust should then aryse,
VVith Thalmighty creator to dispute,
Submit we therefore in repenrant wyse,
Our lyfe and death as he hath constitute.
