WHo loveth and would virtues increase  
and vices eke to over throw,  
Lo hear be gloves that will the teach  
all evil in time to lay full low,  
Draw near therefore and buy apace  
For Newyear's gifts you may them give  
To old and young in every place  
There is no man will the reprove.  
Now this matter to make thee understand,  
As man's heart is hard gods truth to receive:  
So to frozen ground it is compared  
Which in no wise the plough can reave.  
As the sear tree leaves that falleth to ground,  
The word of god calleth us to grace,  
If we forgetful be not found  
Our wealth shall grow in every place.  
But where malice and falsehood still doth reign  
With us in this clear gospels light,  
There look for storm, temepst, and rain,  
As plagues from heaven both day and night.  
Fear god therefore and love him eke.  
With labour true the Penny win,  
And to everlasting joy and bliss,  
As before is said, it will the bring.  
The ten Commandments of the lord,  
At thy fingers ends here mayest thou lere,  
Divided from one hand to the other,  
As title tells in mind to bear.  
The fingers ten yet more doth teach,  
Ten virtues for to bear in heart,  
The which if you keep well in mind,  
From all evil ways thou shalt revert.  
More by these gloves thou mayst well see,  
The seam is broke by impatient breath,  
That vice to restrain I advise thee,  
Each time and hour remember death.  
Within the Palms thou mayst well learn  
Virtues to know in thy right hand  
And vices in the left to over turn,  
If with shield of faith, thou stoutly stand.  
Detestation of senne, and desire to do good  
As bracelets fine I advise thee hold,  
With devout prayer for mercy and grace,  
Then hope well thou mayst be bold.  
Through Christ our saviour safe to be,  
And his just judgement to embrace,  
This is the trus; te I have trwely  
Within the stars to have a place.  
And ride aloft above the skies  
In Quintessence I hope to dwell,  
Where joy and solace shall never cease  
All worldly pleasures they do▪ cell.   
God save the Queen. ꝙ. T. T.
