Isalms David.
To the right Reverend Father in god, iohn Bishop of London.
To sundry keies doth hilarie compare
The holy Psalmes of that prophetique King,
Cause in their Natures so dispos'd they are,
That as it were, by sundry dores they bring,
The soule of man, opprest with deadly sinne,
Vnto the Throne, where he may mercy winne.

For wouldst thou in thy Saviour still reioyce,
Or for thy sinnes, with teares lament and pray,
Or sing his praises with thy heart and voice,
Or for his mercies giue him thankes alway?
Set davids Psalmes, a mirrour to thy mind,
But with his Zeale, and heavenly spirit ioin'd.
