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.
