So estimacion maye ryght well conclude
The parfyte nombre of every similitude.
And yet, than, the retentyfe memory,
Whyche is the fifte, must ever agregate

And by scripture wyll make demonstrate
Outwardly accordynge to the thought,
To prove a reason upon a thyng of nought.
Thus, whan the fourth hath wrought full wonderly,
