iv The younglinges to Christ.

The Argument.

The younglynges delyted with the consolacion of the churches pleasant song, enter into the kinges chambers, from whence they rendre thankes and prayses to Christ for his benefites, synging.

VVe wil reioyce and ioy in thee,
O Lorde omnipotent:
Whiche through thy mercy makest free
Them that to trueth be bent.
Thy fruteful teates that are so fyne,
Thy consolacions swete,
We wil remember more than wine:
Whiche are for vs most mete.
For fayth al onely in thy bloud
In God the fathers sight,
We are reputed iust and good:
Where woorkes are al to light.
Wherfore the yong whome thou for iust
By mercy doest approue,
In thee alone, put al their trust,
And mearely do thee loue.
