(31) Mann must provide for bodie and sowle.
The fairest Creature which the heavenlie hand
created, hath the cheefest thinge hee made,
the Lord of Ayre, of Earth, of sea, and Land,
and of ech earthlie thinge which once must fade,
composed is of bodie form'd of claye,
and sowle divine which never shall decaye.

and of ech earthlie thinge which once must fade,
composed is of bodie form'd of claye,
and sowle divine which never shall decaye.
His sacred minde, sprung from celestiall seede,
doth him forwarne to lifte the same on hie.
his earthlie bodie, which elements doth feede,
makes him to thinke on thinges, and that be worldlie.
Thus sowle and bodie, vnited by their kinde,
makes mann both heaven and earth allwaies to mind.
doth him forwarne to lifte the same on hie.
his earthlie bodie, which elements doth feede,
makes him to thinke on thinges, and that be worldlie.
Thus sowle and bodie, vnited by their kinde,
makes mann both heaven and earth allwaies to mind.
But soe to minde them both, as not excesse
in either, fall contrarie to their due,
for all extreames, the vice doth still expresse,
the (meane) is that which wee ought to pursue;
then, since god wilbe serv'd with both together,
vse well the one, to helpe and serve the other.
