Though thy sins be great, thy inward hearts contrition. Doth move my stomach, in wonderful condition. I find the a man, according to my heart, Wherefore this promise, I make the ere I depart. A fruit there shall come, forth issuing from thy body, Whom I will advance, upon thy seat for ever. His throne shall become, a seat of heavenly glory, His worthy sceptre, from right will not dissever, His happy kingdom, of faith, shall perish never, Of heaven and of earth, he was author principal, And will continue, though they do perish all. This sign shalt thou have, for a token special, That thou mayst believe, my words unfeignedly. Where thou hast minded, for my memorial, To build a temple, thou shalt not finish it truly. But Solomon thy son, shall do that action worthy, In token that Christ, must finish every thing, That I have begun, to my praise everlasting. Immortal glory, to thee, most heavenly king, For that thou hast given, continual victory, To me thy servant, ever since my anointing, And also before, by many conquests worthy, A bear and lion, I slew through thy strength only, I slew Golias, which was vj. cubits long. Against thy enemies, thou madest me ever strong. My fleshly frailness, made me do deadly wrong, And clean to forget, thy laws of righteousness. And thouh thou vysytedest, my synnefulnesse among, With pestilent plagues, and other unquietness. Yet never tookest thou, from me the plenteousness, Of thy godly spirit, which thou in me diddest plant, I having remorse, thy grace could never want. For in conclusion, thy everlasting covenant. Thu gavest unto me, for all my wicked sin. And hast promised here, by protestation constant, That one of my seed, shall such high fortune win, As never did man, sens this world did begin. By his power he shall, put Satan from his hold, In rejoice whereof, to sing will I be bold. O lord God Adonai, & guide of the faylhfull house of Israel, which sometime aperedest in the flaming bush to Moses, and to him didst give a law in mount Syna, come now forto redeem us in the strength of thy right hand. I Brought up children, from their first infancy, Which now despiseth, my godly institutions. An ox knoweth his lord, an ass his master's duty, But Israel will not, know me nor my conditions, Oh froward people, given all to superstitions. Unnatural children, expert in blasphemies, Provoketh me to bate, by their idolatries. Take heed to my words, ye tyrants of Sodoma, In vain ye offer, your sacrifice to me. discontent I am, with you beasts of Gomorra, And have no pleasure, when I your offerings se. I abhor your fasts, and your solemnity. For your traditions, my ways ye set a part, Your works are in vain, I hate them from the heart.

Though thy synnes be great, thy inwarde hartes cōtrycyon. Doth moue my stomake, in wonderfull condycyon. I fynde the a man, accordynge to my hart, Wherfor thys promyse, I make the ere I depart. A frute there shall come, forth yssuynge from thy bodye, Whom I wyll aduaunce, vpon thy seate for euer. Hys trone shall become, a seate of heauenlye glorye, Hys worthy scepture, from ryght wyll not dysseuer, Hys happye kyngedome, of faythe, shall perysh neuer, Of heauen and of earthe, he was autor pryncypall, And wyll contynue, though they do perysh all. Thys sygne shalt thu haue, for a token specyall, That thu mayst beleue, my wordes vnfaynedlye. Where thu hast mynded, for my memoryall, To buylde a temple, thu shalt not fynysh it trulye. But Salomon thy sonne, shall do that accyon worthye, In token that Christ, must fynysh euery thynge, That I haue begunne, to my prayse euerlastynge. Immortall glorye, to the, most heauenlye kynge, For that thu hast geuen, contynuall vyctorye, To me thy seruaunt, euer sens my anoyntynge, And also before, by manye conquestes worthye, A beare and lyon, I slewe through thy strength onlye, I slewe Golias, whych was vj. cubites longe. Agaynst thy enemyes, thu madest me euer stronge. My fleshlye fraylenesse, made me do deadlye wronge, And cleane to forget, thy lawes of ryghteousnesse. And thouh thu vysytedest, my synnefulnesse amonge, With pestylent plages, and other vnquyetnesse. Yet neuer tokest thu, from me the plenteousnesse, Of thy godly sprete, whych thu in me dedyst plant, I hauynge remorce, thy grace coulde neuer want. For in conclusyon, thy euerlastynge couenaunt. Thu gauest vnto me, for all my wycked synne. And hast promysed here, by protestacyon constaunt, That one of my sede, shall soch hygh fortune wynne, As neuer ded man, sens thys worlde ded begynne. By hys power he shall, put Sathan from hys holde, In reioyce wherof, to synge wyll I be bolde. O lorde God Adonai, & gyde of the faylhfull howse of Israel, whych sumtyme aperedest in the flamynge bushe to Moses, and to hym dedest geue a lawe in mounte Syna, come now forto redeme vs in the strengthe of thy ryght hande. I Brought vp chyldren, from their first infancye, Whych now despyseth, my godlye instytucyons. An oxe knoweth hys lorde, an asse hys masters dewtye, But Israel wyll not, knowe me nor my condycyons, Oh frowarde people, geuen all to superstycyons. Vnnaturall chyldren, expert in blasphemyes, Prouoketh me to bate, by their ydolatryes. Take hede to my wordes, ye tyrauntes of Sodoma, In vayne ye offer, your sacryfyce to me. Dyscontent I am, with yow beastes of Gomorra, And haue no pleasure, whan I your offerynges se. I abhorre your fastes, and your solempnyte. For your tradycyons, my wayes ye set a part, Your workes are in vayne, I hate them from the hart.
