[Promise of Life made through that holy seede]

Promise of Life made through that holy seede,
Adam he calls her Heuah, dame of Life:
Then God to let them haue their right & meed,
Out of the Garden sends Man and his wife.
Life and Heaven lost, they lost the Signes withall:
Which holy Signes, we Sacraments do call.
