The Argument.
Here Dauid crauethAnd answer haueth
whom God alowth in sight
The sprite so sayth
Who hath a fayth
to worke by loue aright
1
Who (Lord) shall byde: by thy sweete syde?In tabernacle sure?
Or who shall styll: hold fast thy hyll,
which holy doth endure?
2
Who walkth in state: immaculate,who blameles lyfe ensueth:
And rightwise deede: fulfilth in speede,
who speakth from hart the truth.

Whose tonge in spyte: doth not backebyte,ne doth hys neyghbour euill:
Who cannot beare: wyth quyet eare,
hys neyghbour slanderd still.
4
And he whose eyes: the bad despise,and lawdth Gods fearefull men:
Who swearth also: hys neyghbour to,
and chaungth not it ageyn.
5
Who will not plie: to vsurie,hys coyne for lucres loue:
Who bribeth nothyng: the iust to wryng,
oh he shall neuer moue.
