Pride will fall,—but Grace to the Humble.

This fall Fell Lucifer first tries,Who endlong fell, never to rise.
Woman the next; then man, and all;
Proud flesh from them have caught the fall.

From this foul falling sickness shallThe fall of one, recover all
Mankind, that medcin'd by his Spirit
His best of Graces shall inherit.
Whereby he still in it doth fall
Upon his humble servants all.
