The .C. xxxiii. Psalme.

[Beholde and se forget not this]

Ecce quam bonum.

Beholde and se forget not this
how ioyfull & pleasaunt a thynge it is
brethren to dwell all together
and to be of one mynde euer.
For they are lyke that precious vnction
which beynge powred on the head of Aaron
Ran in his bearde into Aarons bearde
And to his skirtes it descended.
This brotherly loue is so noble vertue
That it is lykened vnto the dew
which fell on the hyll of Hermon

lii

And on the fayre hill of Sion.
For there the lorde gaue his blessynge
And she wed his lyfe euerlastynge
So where as loue is vnfayned
There is the lordes blessynge in dede.
