The summe of all.
[death the dissoluer of eche mortall bodye]
death the dissoluer of eche mortall bodye,driueth all againe to their fyrst matter dust:
whyche whyle we liue, should put vs in memorye
from whence we came and hence, to what we must:
fearefull to the euill, but ioyfull to the iust.
who after thys lyfe, through death transitorie,
for deathles lyfe, ioyned with ioy, do truste,
whose lyfe by death, is leade to greater glorie.
