[Oh mankind, rue on thy miserable estate]
Oh mankind, rue on thy miserable estate,VVhen sleeping in sinne of liberty thou liuest,
A more lothsome life then brute beast create,
The nearer grace is offred thee, the furder of thou geuest,
Thy consent with security, and so thou thriuest,
For abusyng Gods grace and offered mercy,
One mischeefe vpon an other thou driuest,
Tyll all to late it is to repent thy folly.
