A
Good-information.That is/that Playne-and-iust, hath God created Man/
To thend he shoulde serue Him, in all vpright Righteousnes/
To liue therin for euer, in Ioye and sweete Delightfulnes:
As likewyse, in all Loue, and reasonable Nature/
In Gods true Obedience, as Gods very Figure:
Cleaueing to the Trueth, that to the Lyfe doth all men gode.
And that is Gods Kingdom, voyde of Trembling & of Pryde/
Which God hath geeuen, into the Mans Hart/
When from he hath turned, to his greeuous Smart.
All which this Playe doth showe you (if it be wel regarded)
As also the Mans Wickednes, wherwith he is rewarded/
To sing as he, without Gods Kingdom, wandring doth remayne.
Thus marke ye Mynde, that is to thee, rehearsed breef & playne,
And [illeg.] repent thee for tho Synnes, to thy Iustification:
To thend that thou mayst com, in right Humiliacion
To the Kingdom of God, full of all Loue so meeke/
30
Full of Trueth of Righteousnes, and of Peace too.
Thus do thou still as thou wouldst, that men to thee should doe:
For to the Entrance into the Kingdom, thats the only Waye.
