The Argument.
The
Churche hauyng before the Younglynges confessed
her ignoraunce, and declared that without the wurde of
God no man can be certified of his wyll, and doubtyng nowe
least they yet waueryng for want of knowlege, and ouercharged
with the heauie burden of the body, flesh, and sin, should
dispayer of Gods fauour, because their offences are so great
that they be neyther able to bear them, nor to recompence thē
with the best wurkes they can deuise: and also because they
lacke the wurkes whiche Christe cam to see in hys gardeyne:
And to shewe that it is Christes wyl that all whiche are of his
Churche ought to bear one an others burdeyne, she syngeth
to the Younglynges.
Fear not ye young though heauy be your yoke,
Your yoke of sinne that causeth you to feare:
For Christe my soule, whiche lately to me spoke,
Wyll that I healpe the burdens byg to beare,
Of Aminadif.
Aminadif, my wyllyng people be,
Suche as gladly Gods wurd both doe and heare:
Whose wheles to draw my soule appoynted me:
Christ wyll I shall the burdens help to bear
Of Aminadif.
