The fyrst degré gostly applyed,
It is holy desyre with God to be,
In trobyl to God I have cryed,
And in sped that lord hath herde me.
Ad Dominum cum tribularer clamavi, et exaudivit me.
The secunde is stody with meke inquysissyon veryly,
How I xal have knowynge of Godys wylle,
To the mownteynes of hefne I have lyfte myn ey,
ffrom qwens xal comyn helpe me tylle.
Levavi oculos meos in montes, unde veniat auxilium mihi.
