Thy olde enemye that Sathan
The father of all lesynge
Seketh all the meanes that he can
The verite downe to brynge
If any man speake therof
It must cost hym his bloude
For many soch men he dryueth awaye
And some he slayeth now euery daye
yet all doth hym no good.

He can not leaue his cruelnesse
But threateneth daye and nyght
His mynde is whole the to oppresse

But stonde thou fast in god
O worthy fayre Christente
He is thy helpe and sucoure
who so doth the displeasure
He toucheth gods owne eye.

Beholde how god hath euer done
For Israell in theyr nede

And put thy foes to blame.

The Madianites dyd all theyr best
To trouble gods people deare
The Amaleckes wolde not let them rest
But helde them styll in feare
Israell cryed to god
which helped them louyngly
By Gedeon his seruaunt
There fell a hundreth thousande
And twenty thousande truly.

Remembre how god kepte Dauid
From Saul that wicked kynge
How oft he hym delyuered

But god delyuered hym alwaye
And hanged fayre Absalon.

Note also how god helped

But fell all thorow gods myght.

Heare to how strongly god fought

Gods folke gat the victory.

Thy heeres are tolde truly
Let Sathan do all that he maye
