Of the Old Testament with legal observation,
Shall utterly cease and take their end final,
Through Christ’s coming which for man’s salvation
A New Testament shall ordain by divine operation
Offering himself in Sacrifice for mankind’s offence,
Which from Heaven was exiled through his great negligence.

Fie on that dream, reader! such dotards never shall
Nor no sleeping sluggard make my right title cease
But I shall knightly keep it, whatsoever befall,
