ON THE NEXT WORD.

Verily I say vnto thee, This day shalt thou be vvith me in paradice. Luck. 23. v. 43.

1

O soule looke vp to this,
And harke vvhat voice thou hearst,
Thy Christ in midst of gripes of death
Doth heare, vvhat ist thou fearst?

2

Then sure he vvill thee heare,
And giue eare to thy crye,
Novve that he sitts on throne in state
& is thy god so nighe

3

A theefe doth cry, & call,
Christ heares him by, and by
O soule thy Christ vvill heare thee sure
If thou dost call, & cry

4

O learne it is but one
To vvhom Christ grants an eare
That sued to him in death at last,
And sought him in his feare.

5

Yet it is one my soule
Least thou shouldst faynt, & dye,
And that thy Christ vvould not thee heare
In death vvhen thou shalt cry.

6

And yet it is but one,
Least soule thou shouldst be proud,
And thinke that god vvould heare thee still
When that thy cry is loud

7

O learne svveet soule by this
To sue to god in life,
& driue not of till death doe come
To die in iarre, & strife.
