[Oh amazed witte, O soule congeled in sinne]
Oh amazed witte, O soule congeled in sinne,Frozzen through affection of foolishe felicitie,
VVhereunto retchles ryot doth at no time linne,
To offend thy Creator, thou art so foole hardy:
Thy sight is blinded so with sensuality,
That the loue of God causeth no correction,
Nor yet of heauenly ioy no cupidity,
May make thee leaue sinne, for dread of damnation.
