Ryght fast vnto his mercyfull pyte

For his mercy is more than all our mysery

And eke aboue his werkes all

As Dauyd sheweth in his prophecy

Saynge his mercy is ouer all

To whom I pray euer in especyall

To gyue me grace well my penne to lede

That quaketh aye for drede

Dame Sapyence sayd I do procede

Of the strength of the holy ghoost
