The summe of all.

[God that is most glorious, was thalmighty beginner]

God that is most glorious, was thalmighty beginner
of all things that in heauen or in earth hath their beinge.
which was without beginning, he is the onely helper.
and furtherer of good workes to come to good ending.

but consider well the ende and waie it discreetly,
for happely it preserueth bothe soule and bodye.
