Patterne of Pitey which with trembling feare,
Most willingly to house of God repairest:
Attentiuely his holy word to heare,
Spreading abroad thy braunches with the fairest.
And hauing taken talent from the Lord,
Dost not the same within the ground vphord.

And hauing taken talent from the Lord,
Dost not the same within the ground vphord.
But makest vse of euery part thereof,
Not putting Candle vnderneath a couer:
As doth the Carelesse seruant with a scoffe,
Concealing heauenly secrets from his brother.
All thy delight is in the house of prayer
Thy contemplations sound into the ayer.

Thou sittest not in an vn-Godly seat,
Nor yet thou standest in the sinners way,
Thou art elect of God the Lord so great,
As Chosen veslell him thou dost obey,
Studying each time, each hower, each day, and night,
How to find out the heauenly pathes aright.

Thou standst in feild vnder the Crosse of Christ,
In his defence and seruice euery hower:
Vnmoueable and firme there doth consist,
Thy faith in God acknowledging his Power.
Grace light vpon thee stand in Gods defence,
Gainst sinfull wight to heare the euidence.
