The .xi. Psalme of Dauid.
Agaynst false doctryne and ypocrites.
Saluum me fac Domine.
Helpe now o Lorde & loke on vs,
how we are brought in lowe degre
thy saintes are dryuē from euery house,
there are fewe faythfull lefte truly,
men wyll not suffre thy trueth to be knowen,
thy fayth is all most ouerthrowe
amonge mens chyldren piteously.

amonge mens chyldren piteously.
It is but lyes and vanite
That one preacheth now to his brother
They flatter with theyr lyppes falsely
And one dyssembleth with another
Thus shewe they with theyr mouth one thynge
And yet haue they another meanynge
within theyr hertes altogether.

O that the Lorde wolde once rote out
All soch disceatfull yppes speakynge
which wyll not haue that men shulde doute
In thynges that are of theyr makynge
we ought to speake by auctorite they say proudly
Oure tonge shulde preuayle
who shulde rule vs or oure doynge?

Therfore sayeth the Lorde/now wyll I ryse
I se the poore are oppressed
Theyr sore complaynte wyll I not despyse
But wyll them helpe shortly in dede
I wyll set them at lybertie
My worde shalbe preached planely
They shall nomore be disceaued.

Syluer seuen tymes tryed in the fyre
Is purified and made cleare therby
So is gods worde alwaye nearer
whan it is persecute cruelly
The Lordes wordes are pure and ryght
And wyll not be kepte downe by myght
But wyll apeare the more planely.

O Lorde defende thou them therfore
And preserue vs gracyously
From this generacyon euermore
That persecute vs so cruelly
For whan vanite and ydilnesse
Is set by amonge men, doutles
all are full of the vngodly.
