[Regard (oh man) this wofull disceuerance]

Regard (oh man) this wofull disceuerance,
Behold Mary, behold her sonne Iesu,
If ruthe haue roome in thy remembrance,
VVith piteous hart, his passion to pursew,
Through which thou mayst thyne innocencie renew,
O electe vessell, knowe thy felicitie,
Of thy misrule, thincke time it were to rew,
Confound not thy selfe through thyne iniquitie.
