The summe of all.

[the worlde is a region, diuers and variable]

the worlde is a region, diuers and variable
of god created in the beginning
to containe his creatures of kindes innumerable:

whose many pleasures are cause of great sinning
wherfore all that gladly, as vaine dooe them hate,
Shal after this worlde haue permanent estate.
