¶ Cum gratia & Privilegio Regia Majestatis.   


Veni Creator▪  
COme holy ghost eternal God, proceeding from above▪ both from the Father and the son, the God of peace and love: visit our ●indes and in- to us, thy heavenly grace inspire, that in all truth? and godliness, we may have true desire.  

Thou art the very comforter,  
in all woe and distress:  
The heavenly gift of God most high,  
which no tongue can express.  
The fountain and the lively spring,  
of joy celestial:  
The fire so bright, the love so clear,  
and unction spiritual.   

Thou in thy gifts art manifold,  
whereby Christ's Church doth stand,  
In faithful hearts writing thy law,  
the finger of God's hand.  
According to thy promise made,  
thou givest speech of grace:  
That through thy help the praise of God,  
may stand in every place.   

O holy Ghost into our wits,  
se●d down thy heavenly lights  
Kindle our hearts with servant love,  
to serve God day and night.  
Strength and establish all our weakness,  
so feeble, and so frail:  
That neither ●●esh, the world, nor depill,  
against us do prevail.   

Put back our enemies far from us,  
and grant us to obtain  
Peace in our hearts with God and man,  
without grudge or disdain.  
And grant (O Lord) that th●n being  
our leader, and our guide●  
We may eschew the snares of sin,  
and from thee ne●er slide.   

To us such pl●nty of thy grace,  
good Lord grant we thee pray:  
That thou mayest be our comforte●,  
at the last dreadful day.  
Of all strife and dissension,  
O Lord dissolve the bandest▪  
And make the knots of peace and love,  
throughout all Christian lands.   

Grant us (O Lord) through thee to know,  
the Father of all might:  
That of thy dear beloved son,  
we may attain the sigh●.  
And that with perfect faith also,  
we may acknowledge thee:  
The spirit of them both always,  
one God in persons thr●●.   

Land and praise be to the Father,  
and to the Son equal▪  
And to the holy spirit also▪  
one God coet●rnall:  
And pray we that the only Son,  
vouchsafe his spirit to sand:  
To all that do profess his name,  
unto the worlds end.    

¶ The humble suit of a sinner. M.  
O Lord of whom I do depend behold my care- full heart, and when thy will and pleasure is, release me of my smart, thou seest my sorrows what they are, my grief is known to thee, and the●● is none that can remove, or take the ●ame from me.  

But only thou whose aid I crave,  
whose mercy still i● priest:  
To ease all those that come to thee,  
for succour and for r●st.  
And sith thou seest my restless eyes,  
my tears and grievous groan▪  
Attend unto my suit (O Lord)  
mark well my plaint and moan.   

For sin hath so enclosed me,  
and compassed me about●▪  
That I am now remediless,  
if mercy help not ou●.  
For mortal man can not release,  
or mitigate this pain:  
But even thy Christ, my Lord, and God,  
who for my sins was slain.   

Whose bloody wounds are yet to see,  
though not with mortal eye:  
Yet do thy saints behold them all,  
a●d so I trust shall ●.  
Though sin d●th hinder me a while,  
when thou shalt see it good:  
I shall enjoy the sight of him,  
and see his wounds and blood.   

And as thine Angels and thy Saints,  
do now behold the same▪  
So trust I to possess that place,  
with them to praise thy name.  
But whilst I live here in this vale,  
where sinners do frequent,  
Assist me ever with thy grace,  
my sins still to lament▪   

Lest that I wo●d in sinners trace,  
and give them my consent  
To devil with them in wickedness,  
where to nature i● b●nt.  
Only thy grace must be my stay,  
lest that I fall down ●lat:  
And being down then, of myself  
can not recover that.   

Wherefore this is yet once again  
my suit and my request:  
To grant me pardon for my sin.  
that I in thee may re●t.  
Then shall my heart, my tongue, and voice,  
be instruments of praise:  
And in thy Church, and house of Sainted,  
sing Psalms to thee always.    

Venite exultemus. Psalm. xcv.  
¶ Sing this as the Benedictus.  

O Come, and let us now rejoice,  
And sing unto the Lord:  
And to out only Saviour,  
Also with one accord.  
O let us come before his face,  
With inward reverence:  
Confessing all our former sins,  
And that with diligenc●.   

To thank him for his benefits,  
Always distributing:  
wherefore to him right joyfully,  
In Psalms now let us sing.  
And that because that God alone,  
●s Lord magnificent:  
And eke above all other Gods,  
A king omnipotent.   

His people doth not he forsake,  
At any time or tide:  
And in his hands are all the coasts,  
Of all the world so wide.  
And with his loving countenance,  
He looketh every where:  
And doth behold the tops of all  
The mountains far, and near●.   

The Sea and all that is therein  
Are his, for he them made,  
And eke his hands have fashioned  
The earth which doth not fade.  
O come therefore and worship him,  
And down before him fall:  
And let us weep before the Lord,  
The which hath made us all.   

He is our God, our Lord, and king,  
And we his people are:  
His flock and sheep of his pasture,  
On whom he taketh care.  
This day if ye will hear his voice,  
Yet harden not your ha●tes:  
As in the ●itter murmuring,  
When ye were in deserts.   

Which thing was of their negligence,  
Committed in the time  
Of trouble, in the wilderness,  
A great and grumous crime.  
〈◊〉 your Fathers tempted me,  
And ●●yed ●●e every ●ay●  
They proved me and saw my works,  
What I could do or say.

To whom I i●●●ine anger swor●●  
That they should not be blest:  
No● see my joy celestial,  
Nor enter in ●y rest.  
Gl●ri●patri.   

All lau● and praise be to thee Lord▪  
O that of mig●● art most:  
To God the Father and the son,  
And to the holy Ghost.  
As it in the beginning was,  
For ever heretofore:  
And is now at this present time,  
And shallbe evermore.    

The song of Saint Ambrose called ●e Deum.  
WE praise thee God, we knowledge thee, the only Lord to be, And as eternal father all the ●arth doth worship thee. To thee all Anngels cry, the heavens and all the powers therein: To thee Ch●ruh and S●raphin, to cry they do not linne.  

O holy, holy, holy Lord,

Through heaven and earth thy praise is spread▪

The prophets goodly fellowship,

¶ The song of Zacharias, called Benedictus.  
THe only Lord of Israel, be praised evermors, For through his visitation and mercy kept inst●rer His people now he hath redemde, that long hath been in thrall, and spread abroad his saving health, upon his servants all.  

In ●●●uids house ●i● seruaant true,  
〈…〉 to his mynder▪  
And also his anointed ●yng,  
As we in Scripture find●.  
As by his holy Prophets all,  
Often times he did declare:  
The which were since the world began,  
His way for to prepare.   

That we might be delivered,  
From those that make debate:  
Our enemies, and from the hands,  
Of all that do us hate.  
The mercy which he promised,  
Our Fathers to fulfil:  
And think upon his covenant made,  
According to his william.   

And also to perform the o●●e,  
Which he before had sworn  
To Abraham our Father dear,  
For us that were forlorn.  
That he would give himself for us,  
And us from bondage bring  
Out of the bands of all our foes,  
To s●rue out heavenly king.   

And that without all manner fear,  
And eke in righteousness:  
And also for to lead our life,  
In steadfast holiness.  
And thou (O child) which now art borne,  
And of the Lord elect:  
Shalt be the Proph●●, of the highest,  
His ways for to direct.   

For thou shalt go before his face,  
For to prepare his ways:  
And also for to teach his will,  
And pleasure all thy days.  
To give them knowledge, how that their  
Salvation is near:  
And that remission of their sins,  
Is through his mercy mere.   

Whereby the dayspring from on high,  
Is come us for to visit.  
And those for to illuminate,  
Which do in darkness fit.  
To lighten those that shadowed be  
With death, and eke oppressed,  
And also for to guide their feet.  
The way to peace and rest.    

¶ The song of blessed Mary called Magnificat.  
MY soul doth magnify the Lord, my spirit eke evermore, rejoiceth in the Lord my God, which is my Saviour, And why? because he did regar de, and gave respect unto so base estate of his hand- maid, and let the mighty go.  

For now behold all nations,  
And generations all:  
From this time forth for evermore▪  
Shall me right blessed call.  
Because he hath me magnified,  
Which is the Lord of might.  
Whose name be ever sanctified,  
And praised day and night.   

For with his mercy and his grace,  
All 〈◊〉 he doth inflame:  
Throughout all generations,  
To such as fear his name.  
He showed strength with his great arm,  
And made the proud to start:  
With all imaginations,  
That they bore in their heart.   

He hath put down the mighty ones,  
From their supernal seat:  
And did exalt the meek in heart,  
As he hath thought it meet.  
The hungry he replenished,  
With all things that were good:  
And through his power he made the rich,  
Often times to want their food.   

And calling to remembrance,  
His mercy every deal:  
Hath holpen up assistantly,  
His servant Israel.  
According to his promise made,  
To Abraham before:  
And to his seed successively,  
To stand for evermore.    

¶ The song of Simeon, called Nunc dimi●tis.  
O Lord because my hearts desire, hath wished long to see my only Lord, and Saviour, thy son before I die. The joy and health of all mankind desired long before, which now is come into the world, of mercy bringing store.  

Thou sufferest thy servant now,  
In peace for to departed:  
According to thy holy word,  
Which lighteneth my heart.  
Because mine eyes which thou hast made,  
To give my body light:  
Have now beheld thy saving health,  
Which is the Lord of might.   

Whom thou mercifully hast set,  
Of thine abundant 〈◊〉  
In open fight and visible,  
Before all people's face.  
The Gentiles to illuminate,  
And Satan overquell:  
And eke to be the glo●y of,  
Thy people Israel.    

¶ The Symbol, or Creed of Athanasius, called Quicunque vult.  
WHat man soever he be that salvation will at- ta'en, The Catholic belief he must before all things retain, Which faith unless be ●oly keep, and undefiledly, without all doubt eternally he shall be sure to die.  

The Catholic belief is this,  
that God we worship one  
In Trinity, and trinity  
in unity alone.  
So as we neither do confounded  
the persons of the three:  
Nor yet the substance whole of one,  
in funder parted be.   

One person of the Father is,  
an other of the Son▪  
An other person proper of  
the holy Ghost alone.  
Of Father, Son, and holy Ghost,  
but one the Godhead is:  
Like glory, coeternal eke  
the majesty likewise.   

Such as the Father is, such is  
the Son in each degree:  
And such also we do believe,  
the holy Ghost to be.  
uncreate is the Father, and  
〈◊〉 uncreate is the Son:  
The holy Ghost uncreate, so  
uncreate is each one.   

Incomprehensible Father is,  
incomprehensible Son:  
And comprehensible also is,  
the holy Ghost of none.  
The Father is eternal, and  
the Son eternal sot  
And in like sort eternal is,  
the holy Ghost also.   

And yet though we believe that each  
of these eternal be:  
Yet there but one eternal is:  
and not eternalls three.  
As 〈◊〉 incomprehensible we,  
ne yet uncreats three:  
But one incomprehensible, one  
uncreate hold to be.   

Almighty so the Father is,  
the Son almighty so:  
And in like sort almighty is,  
the holy Ghost also.  
And albeit that every one,  
of these almighty be,  
Yet there but one almighty is,  
and not almighties three.   

The Father God is, God the Son,  
God holy Ghost also:  
Yet are there not three Gods in all,  
but one God and no more.  
So likewise Lord the Father is,  
and Lord also the Son:  
And Lord the holy Ghost, yet are,  
there not three Lords, but one.   

For as we are compelled to grant,  
by Christian verity:  
Each of the persons by himself,  
both God, and Lord to be:  
So Catholic Religion,  
forbiddeth us always:  
That either Gods be three, or that  
there Lords be three to say.   

Of none the Father is ne made,  
ne created, nor begot:  
The Son is of the Father, not  
created, n● made, but got.  
The holy Ghost is of them both,  
the Father and the Son,  
Ne made, ne created, nor begot,  
but doth proceed alone.   

So we one Father hold, not thre●,  
one Son also, not three:  
One holy Ghost alone, and not  
three holy Ghosts to be.  
Non● in this Trinity before,  
nor after other is:  
Ne greater any than the rest,  
ne lesser be likewise.   

But every one among themselves,  
of all the persons three:  
Together coeternal all,  
and all coequal be.  
So Unity, in Trinity,  
as said it is before:  
And Trinity, in Unity,  
in all things we adore.   

Therefore what man so ever that  
salvation will attain:  
This faith touching the Trinity,  
of force he must retain.  
And needful to eternal life,  
it is that every wight.  
Of the incarnating of Christ  
our Lord, believe aright.   

For this the right faith is, that w●  
believe, and eke be know:  
That Christ our Lord, the Sonn● of God,  
is God and man also.  
God of the Father's substance go●,  
before the world began:  
And of his mother's substance, borne  
in world a very man.   

Both perfect God, and perfect man,  
in one, 〈◊〉 jesus Christ:  
That doth of reasonable soul,  
and humane flesh subs●●t.  
Touching his Godhead, equal with  
his Father God is h●:  
Touching his manhood, lower than  
his Father in degree.   

Who though he be both very God,  
and very man also:  
Yet is he but one Christ alone,  
and is not persons two  
One, not by turning of Godhead,  
into the flesh of man:  
But by taking manhood to God,  
this being one began.   

All one, not by confounding of  
the substance into one:  
But only by the unity,  
that is of one person.  
For as the reasonable s●●le,  
and flesh but one man is:  
So in one person God and man,  
is but one Christ likewise.   

Who suffered for to save us all,  
to hell he did descend.  
The third day rose again from death,  
to heaven he did ascend.  
He s●●tes at the right hand of God,  
th'almighty Father there:  
From thence to judge the quick and dead,  
again he shall retire.   

At whose return all men shall rise,  
with bodies new restorde●  
And of their own works they shall geum  
account unto the Lord  
And they into eternal life  
shall go that have done well,  
Who have done ill, shall go into  
eternal fire to devil.   

This is the Catholic belief,  
who doth not faithfully  
Believe the same, without all doubt  
he slued can not be.  
To Father, Son, and holy Ghost,  
all glory be therefore:  
As in beginning was, is now,  
and shallbe evermore.    

¶ The Lamentation of a Sinner.  
O Lord turn not away thy face, from him that lieth prostrate: Lamenting sore his sinful life before thy m●rcy gate. Which gate thou openest wide to those that do lament the●r sin, shut not that gate against me Lord, but let me enter i●.  

And call me not to mine accounts,  
How I have lived here:  
For than I know right well (O Lord)  
How vile I shall appear.  
I need not to confess my life,  
I am sure thou canst tell  
What I have been, and what I am,  
I know thou knowest it well.   

O Lord thou knowest what things be past,  
And eke the things that be▪  
Thou knowest also what is to come,  
Nothing is hid from thee.  
Before the heavens and earth were made,  
Thou knewest what things were then:  
As all things ●ls that have been since,  
Among the sons of men.   

And can the things that I have done,  
Be hidden from thee then?  
Nay, nay, thou knowest them all (O Lord)  
Where they were done, and when.  
Wherefore with tears I come to thee,  
To beg and to entreat:  
Even as the child that hath done evil,  
And feareth to be beaten.   

So come I to thy mercy gate,  
Where mercy doth abound:  
Requiring mercy for my sin,  
To heal my deadly wound.  
O Lord I need not to repeat,  
What I do beg or crave:  
Thou knowest (O Lord) before I ask,  
The thing that I would have.   

Mercy good Lord, mercy I ask,  
This is the total sum:  
For mercy Lord is all my suit,  
Lord let thy mercy come.    

¶ The lords Prayer, or Pater noster.  
Our father which in heaven art, Lord hallowed be thy name, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done in earth, even as the same in heaven is: give us O Lord o●● daily bread, this day: As we forgive ou● debtors, so forgive our debts we pray. Into temptation lead us not. From evil make us fr●e. For kingdom, powe●, and glory thine both now and ever be.   

¶ The x. Commandments Audi Israel. Exod. xx.  
Hark Israel, and what I say give heed to un- derstand. I am the Lord thy God, that brought thee out of Egypt land, even from the house, wherein thou didst in thraldom line a slave. None other God's at all before my presence shalt thou have.  

No manner graven Image shalt  
thou make at all to thee:  
Nor any figure like by thee,  
shall counterfatted be  
Of any ●hyng in heaven above,  
nor in the earth below,  
Nor in waters beneath the earth:  
to them thou shalt not bow,   

Nor shalt them serve. The Lord thy God  
a jealous God am I:  
That punish parents faults, unto  
the third and fourth degree  
Upon those children that me hate,  
and mercy do display:  
To thousands of such as me love,  
and my precepts▪ obey.   

The name thou of the Lord thy God,  
in vain shalt never use:  
For him that takes his name in vain,  
the Lord shall not excuse.  
Remember that thou holy keep,  
the sacred Sabbath day:  
Six days thou labour shalt, and do  
thy needful work●s always.   

The seventh day is set by the Lord,  
thy God to rest upon:  
Not work then shalt thou do in it,  
ne thou, nor yet thy son.  
Thy daughter, servant, nor handmaid,  
thine Ox, nor yet thine Ass,  
Nor stranger that within thy gate,  
hath his abiding place.   

For in six days God heaven and earth,  
and all therein did make▪  
And after those his rest he did  
upon the seventh day take.  
Wherefore he blessed the day, that he  
for resting did ordain:  
And sacred to himself alone,  
appointed to remain.   

Yield honour to thy parents, that  
prolongde thy days may be  
Upon the land, the which the Lord,  
thy God hath given thee.  
Thou shalt not murder. Thou shalt not  
commit adultery.  
Thou shalt not steal. Nor witness false  
against thy neighbour be.   

Thou shalt not covet house that to  
thy neighbour doth belong:  
Ne covet shalt in having of  
his wife to do him wrong.  
Nor his man servant, nor his maid,  
nor Ox, nor Ass of his:  
Nor any other thing that to  
thy neighbour proper is.    

¶ The complaint of a sinner.  
WHere righteousness doth say, Lord for my sin- full part. In wrath thou shouldst me pay, vengeance for my desert. I can it not deny, but needs I must confess, how that continually, thy laws I do trans- gross, Thy laws I do transgress.  

But if it be thy will,  
With sinners to contend:  
Then all thy ●●ocke shall spill,  
And be lost without end.  
For who liveth here so right,  
That rightly he can say  
He sinneth not in thy sight,  
Full often, and every day.   

The Scripture plain telleth me,  
The righteous man oftendeth  
Seven times a day to thee,  
Whereon thy wrath dependeth,  
So that the right wise man  
Doth walk in no such path,  
But he falleth now or than,  
In danger of thy wrath.   

Then sith the case so stands  
That even the man rightwise  
Fall'th often in sinful bands,  
Whereby thy wrath may rise,  
Lord I that am unjust,  
And righteousness none have,  
Whereto then shall I trust.   

My sinful soul to save▪   

But truly to that post,  
Whereto I clean and sh●ll:  
Which is thy mercy most.  
Lord let thy mercy fall:  
And mitigate thy mood,  
Or ●ls we perish all:  
The price of this thy blood,  
Wherein mercy I call.   

The Scripture doth declare  
No drop of blo●d in thee:  
But that thou didst not spare  
To shed each drop for me.  
Now let those drops most sweet,  
So moist my heart so dry,  
That I with sin replete  
My life, and sin may die.   

That being mortified,  
This sin of mine in me:  
I may be sanctified,  
By grace of thine in thee:  
So that I never fall,  
Into such mortal sin,  
That my foes in●ernall:  
Rejoice m● death therein.   

But vouchsafe me to keep,  
From those in●ernall foe●:  
And from that lake so deep,  
Whereas no mercy grows,  
And I shall sing the songs,  
Confirmed with the just:  
That unto thee belongs,  
Which art mine only trust.

¶ PSALMS OF DAVID.  

Beatus vir. Psalm. i T. S.  
THe man is blest that hath not bend to wicked read his ear. Nor led his life as sinners do, not sat in scorners chair. 2. But in the law of God the Lord, doth set his whole delight: And in that law doth exercise himself both day and night.  

verse 3 He shallbe like the tree that grows  
fast by the river side:  
Which bringeth forth most pleasan●t fruit  
in her due time and tide.  
Whose leaf shall ne●er fade nor fall,  
but flourish still and stand▪  
Even so all things shall prospero well,  
that this man taketh in hand.   

verse 4 So shall not the ungodly men,  
they shallbe nothing so:  
But as the dust which from the earth  
the winds drive to and fro.  
verse 5 Therefore shall not the wicked men,  
in judgement stand upright:  
Nor yet the sinners with the just,  
shall come in place or ●ight.   

verse 6 For why ' the way of godly men,  
unto the Lord is known:  
And eke the way of wicked men,  
shall quite be everthrowen.    

Quare fremuerunt? Psal. ij. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the first Psalm.  

WHy did the Gentiles tumults raise?  
what rage was in their brain?  
Why did the jewish people muse,  
seeing all is but vain?  
verse 2 The kings and rulers of the earth  
conspire, and are all bend  
Against the Lord, and Christ his son,  
which he among us sent.   

verse 3 Shall we be bound to them say they?  
let all their bonds be broke:  
And of their doctrine, and their law  
let us reject the yoke.  
verse 4 But he that in the heaven dwelleth,  
their doings will deride:  
And make them all as mocking stocks  
throughout the world so wide.   

verse 5 For in his wrath the Lord will say,  
to them upon a day:  
And in his fury trouble them,  
and then the Lord will say:  
verse 6 I have anointed him my king,  
upon my holy hill:  
I will therefore Lord preach thy laws,  
and eke declare thy william.   

verse 7 For in this wise the Lord himself,  
did say to me I wot:  
Thou art my dear, and only son,  
to day I thee begot.  
verse 8 All people I will give to thee,  
as heirs at thy request:  
The ends and coasts of all the earth.  
by thee shallbe possessed.   

verse 9 Thou shalt them bruise, even with a mace  
as men under foot trod:  
And as the potter's shears, shalt break  
them with an iron rod.  
verse 10 Now ye O kings, and rulers all:  
be wise therefore, and learned:  
By whom the matters of the world  
be judged and discerned.   

verse 11 See that ye serve the Lord above,  
in trembling and in fear:  
See that with reverence ye rejoice,  
to him in like manner.  
verse 12 See that ye kiss, and eke embrace,  
his blessed son I say.  
Lest in his wrath ye suddenly,  
perish in the midway.   

verse 13 Is once his wrath never so small,  
shall kindle in his breast:  
O than all they that trust in Christ,  
shall happy be and blest.    

Domine quid. Psalm. iij. T. S.  
O Lord how are my foes increased, which vex me more and more: They kill my heart when as they say, God can him not restore. But thou O Lord art my defence, when I am hard bestead: My worship and mine honour both, and thou holdest up my head.  

verse 4 Then with my voice upon the Lord,  
I did both call and cry:  
And he out of his holy hill,  
did hear me by and by.  
verse 5 I laid me down, and quietly  
I slept, and rose again:  
For why? I know assuredly,  
the Lord will me sustain.   

verse 6 If ten thousand had hemmed me in,  
I could not be afraid:  
For thou art still my Lord, my God,  
my Saviour, and mine aid.  
Rise up therefore, save me my God,  
for now to thee I call:  
verse 7 For thou h●st broke the cheeks and teeth  
of these wicked men all.   

verse 8 Salvation only doth belong,  
to thee O Lord above:  
Thou dost bestow upon thy folk  
thy blessing and thy love.    

Cum invocarem. Psal. iiij. T. S.  
¶ Sing thi● as the first Psalm.  

O God that art my righteousness,  
Lord heat me when I call:  
Thou hast set me at liberty,  
when I was bond and thrall.  
verse 2 Have mercy Lord therefore on me,  
and grant me this request:  
For unto thee uncessantly,  
to cry I will not rest.   

verse 3 O mortal men how long will ye,  
my glory thus despise:  
Why wander ye●n vanity,  
and follow after lies?  
verse 4 Know ye that good and godly men,  
the Lord doth take and chase:  
And when to him I make my plain●,  
he doth me not refuse.   

verse 5 Sin not, but stand in awe therefore  
examine well your ●arti  
And in your chamber quietly,  
see you yourselves convert.  
verse 6 Offer to God the sacrifice,  
of righteousness I say:  
And look that in the living Lord,  
you put your trust always.   

verse 7 The greater sor● crave worldly goods,  
and riches do embrace:  
But Lord grant us thy countenance,  
thy favour and thy grace.  
verse 8 For thou thereby shalt make my heart,  
more joyful and more glad▪  
Then they that of their corn and wine  
full great increase have had.   

verse 9 In peace therefore lie down will I  
taking my rest and sleep:  
For thou only wilt me (O Lord)  
alone in safety keep.    

Verba mea auribus. Psal. u T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

INcline thine ears unto my words,  
O Lord my plaint consider:  
verse 2 And hear my voice, my king, my God,  
to thee I make my prayer.  
verse 3 Hear me betime, Lord tarry not,  
for I will have respect:  
My prayer early in the morn,  
to thee for to direct.   

verse 4 And I will trust through patience,  
in thee my God alone:  
That art not pleased with wickedness,  
and ill with thee dwelleth none.  
verse 5 And in thy sight shall never stand,  
these furious fools (O Lord)  
Vain workers of iniquity,  
thou hast always abhorred.   

verse 6 The liars and the flatterers,  
thou shalt destroy them than:  
And God will hate the bloodthirsty,  
and the deceitful man.  
verse 7 Therefore will I come to thy hous●,  
trusting upon thy grace:  
And reverently will worship thee,  
toward thy holy place.   

verse 8 Lord lead me in thy righteousness,  
for to confounded my foes:  
And eke the way that I shall walk,  
before my face disclose.  
verse 9 For in their months there is no truth,  
their heart is foul and vain:  
verse 10 Their throat an open sepulchre,  
their tongues do gloze and fayne.   

verse 11 Destroy their false conspiracies,  
that they may come to naught▪  
verse 12 Subvert them in their heaps of sin,  
which have rebellion wrought.  
verse 13 But those that put their trust in thee,  
let them be glad always:  
verse 14 And tender thanks for thy defence,  
and give thy name the praise.   

verse 15 For thou with favour wilt increase,

And with thy grace as with a 〈◊〉

i. Domine ne in furore. Psal. vi. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the first Psalm.  

LOrd in thy wrath reprove me not,  
though I deserve thine ire▪  
N● yet correct me in thy rage,  
O Lord I thee desire.  
verse 2 For I am weak therefore (O Lord)  
of mercy me forbear:  
And heal me Lord, for why thou knowest  
my bones do quake for fear.   

verse 3 My soul is troubled very sore,  
and vexed vehemently:  
But Lord, how long wilt thou delay  
to cure my mis●●y:  
verse 4 Lord turn thee to thy wonted grace,  
my silly soul up take:  
O save me, not for my deserts,  
but for thy mercies sake.   

verse 5 For why no man among the dead,  
remembreth thee one whit:  
Or who shall worship thee (O Lord)  
in the infernal pit?  
verse 6 So grievous is my plaint and moan,  
that I wax wondrous faint:  
All the night long I wash my bed,  
with tears of my complaint.   

verse 7 My sight is dim and waxeth old,  
with anguish of my heart:  
For fear of those that be my foes,  
and would my soul subvert.  
verse 8 But now away from me all ye,  
that work iniquity:  
For why? the Lord hath heard the voice  
of my complaint and cry.   

verse 9 He heard not only the request,  
and prayer of my heart:  
But it received at my hand,  
and took it in good part.  
verse 10 And now my foes that vexed me,  
the Lord will soon defame:  
And suddenly confounded them all,  
to their rebuke and shame.    

Domine Deus me●s. Psal. seven. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

O Lord my God, I put my trust,  
and confidence in thee:  
Save me from them that me pursue,  
and ●ke deliver me.  
verse 2 Lest like a Lion he me tear,  
and rend in pieces small:  
Whilst there is none to secure me,  
and rid me out of thrall.   

verse 3 O Lord my God if I have done  
the thing that is not right:  
Or el● if I be found in fault,  
or guilty in thy sight:  
verse 4 Or to my friend rewarded ill,  
or left him in distress:  
Which me pursued most cruelly,  
and hated me causeless:   

verse 5 Then let my foes pursue my foul,  
and ●ke my lyfedowne thrust  
Unto the earth, and also lay  
mine honour in the dust.  
verse 6 Start up (O Lord) now in thy wrath,  
and put my foes to pain:  
Perform thy kingdom promised  
to me, which wrong sustain.   

verse 7 Then shall great nations come to thee,  
and know thee by this thing:  
If thou declare for lo●e of them,  
thyself as Lord and king.  
verse 8 And thou that art of all men judge.  
O Lord, now judge thou me:  
According to my righteousness,  
and mine integrity.   

verse 9 Lord cease the hate of wicked men,  
and be the just man's guide:  
verse 10 By whom the secrets of all bartes,  
are searched and descried.  
verse 11 I take my help to come of God,  
in all my grief and smart:  
That doth preserve all those that be  
of pure and perfect heart.   

verse 12 The just man and the wicked both,  
God judgeth by his power:  
So that he feelth his mighty hand,  
even every day and hour.  
verse 13 Except he change his mind, I die,  
for even as he should smite:  
He whetth his sword, his bow he bends  
aiming where he may hit.   

verse 14 And doth prepare his mortal darts  
his arrows keen and sharp:  
For them that do me persecute,  
whilst he doth mischief warp.  
verse 15 But loc, though he in travel be,  
of his devilish forecast.  
And of his mischief once conceived,  
yet brings forth naught at last.   

verse 16 He digs a ditch and delves it deep,  
in hope to hurt his brother:  
But he shall fall into the pit,  
that he digged up for other.  
verse 17 This wrong returneth to the hurt  
of him in whom it bred:  
And all the mischief that he wrought,  
shall fall upon his head.   

verse 18 I will give thanks to God therefore,  
that judgeth righteously:  
And with my song praise will the name  
of him, that is most high.    

Domine Deus noster. psal. viii. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

O God our Lord how wonderful  
are thy works every where:  
Whose fame surmounteh in dignity,  
above the heavens clear?  
verse 2 Even by the mouths of sucking babes  
thou wilt confounded thy foes:  
For in these babes thy might is seen,  
thy graces they disclose.   

verse 3 And when I see the heavens high,  
the works of thine own hand:  
The Sun, the Moon and all the Stars▪  
in order as they stand:  
verse 4 What thing is man (Lord) think I then,  
that thou dost him remember?  
Or what is ma●s posterity,  
that thou dost it consider▪   

verse 5 For thou hast made him little less,  
than angels in degree:  
And thou hast crowned him also,  
with glory and dignity.  
verse 6 Thou hast preferred him to be Lord,  
of all thy works of wonder:  
And at his feet hast set all things,  
that be should keep them under.   

verse 7 As sheep, and neat, and all beasts else▪  
that in the fields do feed:  
verse 8 Fowls of the air, fish in the Sea,  
and all that therein breed.  
verse 9 Therefore must I say once again,  
O God, that art our Lord:  
How famous and how wonderful,  
are thy works through the world?    

Confitebor tibi Domine. Psal. ix. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

WIth heart and mouth, unto the Lord,  
will I sing laud and praise:  
And speak of all thy wondrous works,  
and them declare always.  
verse 2 I will be glad and much rejoice,  
in thee (O God) most high:  
And make my songs extol thy name  
above the starry sky.   

verse 3 For that my foes are driven back,  
and turned unto flight:  
They fall down flat, and are destroyed  
by thy great force and might.  
verse 4 Thou hast revenged all my wrong,  
my grief and all my grudge:  
Thou dost with instile hear my cause,  
most like a righteous judge.   

verse 5 Thou dost rebuke the Heathen folk,  
and wicked so confounded:  
That afterward the memory,  
of them cannot be found.  
verse 6 My foe, thou hast made good dispatch,  
and all their towns destroyed:  
Thou hast their fame with them defaced,  
through all the world so wide.   

verse 7 Know thou that he which is above,  
for evermore shall reign:  
And in the seat of equity,  
true judgement will maintain.  
verse 8 With justice he will keep and guide  
the world, and every wight:  
And so will yield with equity,  
to every man his right.   

verse 9 He is protector of the poor,  
what time they be oppressed▪  
He is in all adversity,  
their refuge and their rest.  
verse 10 All they that know thy holy name,  
therefore shall trust in thee:  
For thou forsakest not their suit,  
in their necessity.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Sing Psalms therefore unto the Lord:  
that dwelleth in Zion hill:  
Publish among all nations,  
his noble acts and will,  
verse 12 For the is mindful of the blood  
of those that be oppressed:  
Forgetting not tha●● 〈◊〉 heart,  
that seeks to him for rest.   

verse 13 Have mercy (Lord) on me poor wretch  
whose enemies still remains  
Which from the gates of sitrath are wont  
to raise me up again.  
verse 14 In Zion that I might set forth,  
thy praise with heart and voice:  
And that in thy salvation (Lord)  
my soul might still rejoice.   

verse 15 The Heathen, stick fast in the pit,  
that they themselves prepared,  
And in the not that they did set,  
their own fee●e fast are soarde.  
verse 16 God shows his judgements which were good  
for every man to mark:  
When as ye see the wicked man,  
lie trapped in his own work.   

verse 17 The wicked and the sinful men,  
go down to hell for ever:  
And all the people of the world,  
that will not God remember.  
verse 18 But sure the Lord will not forget  
the poor man's grief and paynet  
The patient people never look,  
for help of God in vain.   

verse 19 O Lord arise lest men prevail,  
that be of worldly might:  
And let the Heathen folk receive  
their judgement in thy sight.  
verse 20 Lord strike such terror, fear, and dread,  
into the hearts of them:  
That they may know assuredly,  
they be but mortal men.     

ut quid Domine. Psal. x. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

WHat is the cause that thou (O Lord)  
art now so far from thine?  
And keepest close thy countenance,  
from us this troublous time?  
verse 2 The poor doth perish by the proud,  
and wicked men's desire:  
Let them be taken in the craft,  
that they themselves conspire.   

verse 3 For in the lusts of his own heart,  
the ungodly doth delight:  
So doth the wicked praise himself,  
and doth the Lord despite.  
verse 4 He is so proud that right and wrong  
he setteth all apart:  
Nay, nay, there is no God saith he,  
for this he thinks in heart.   

verse 5 Because his ways do prospero still,  
he doth his laws neglect:  
And with a blast doth puff against  
such as would him correct.  
verse 6 Tush, tush (saith he) I have ●o dread,  
lest mine estate should change:  
And why? for all adversity,  
to him is very strange.   

verse 7 His mouth is full of curse dues,  
of fraud, deceit, and guile:  
Under his tongue doth mischief 〈◊〉,  
and travel all the while.  
verse 8 He lieth hid in way●s and ●oles,  
to slay the innocent▪  
Against the poor that pass him by,  
his cruel eyes are be●t.   

verse 9 And like a Lion pri●ely,  
lieth lurking in his den:  
If he may snare them in his net,  
to spoil poor simple men.  
verse 10 And for the nonce full craftily,  
he croucheth down I say:  
verse 11 So are great heaps of poor men made,  
by his strong power, his prey.   

The second part.  

verse 12 Tush, God forgetteth this (saith he)  
therefore may I be bold:  
His countenance is cast a side,  
he doth it not behold.  
verse 13 Arise (O Lord) O God, in whom  
the poor man's hope doth rest,  
Lift up thy hand, forget not Lord,  
the poor that be oppressed.   

verse 14 What blasphemy is this to thee?  
Lord dost thou not abhor it?  
To bear the wicked in their hearts,  
say, tush thou carest not for it?  
verse 15 But thou seest all this wickedness,  
and well dost understand:  
verse 16 That friendless and poor fatherless,  
are left into thy hand.   

verse 17 Of wicked and malicious men,  
then break the power for ever:  
That they with their iniquity,  
may perish altogether.  
verse 18 The Lord shall reign for evermore,  
asking and God alone.  
And he will chase the Heathen folk  
out of his land each one.   

verse 19 Thou hearst (O Lord) the poor man's plaint  
their prayers and request:  
Their hearts thou wilt confirm, until  
thine ears to hear be priest.  
verse 20 To judge the poor and fatherless,  
and help them to the right:  
That they may ●e no more oppressed,

In Domino confido. Psal. xi. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

I Trust in God, how dare ye then  
say thus my soul until:  
Flee hence as fast as any foul,  
and hide you in your hill?  
verse 2 Behold the wicked bend their bows,  
and make their arrows priest  
To shoot in secret, and to hurt  
the sound and harmless breast.   

verse 3 Of worldly hope all stays were shrunk,  
and clearly brought to naught:  
Alas the just and righteous man,  
what evil hath be wrought.  
verse 4 But he that in his temple is,  
most holy and most high:  
And in the heavens hath his seat,  
of royal majesty.   

The poor and simple man's estate,  
considereth in his mind:  
And searcheth out full narrowly,  
the manners of mankind.  
verse 5 And with a cheerful countenance,  
the righteous man will use:  
But in his heart he doth abhor,  
all such as mischief muse.   

verse 6 And on the sinners casteth snares,  
as thick as any ●ayne:  
Fire, and brimstone, and whirlwinds thick,  
appointed for their pain.  
verse 7 You see then how a righteous God,  
doth righteousness embrace:  
And to the just and upright men,  
showeth forth his pleasant face.    

Saluum me fac. Psal. xii. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

Help Lord, for good and godly men,  
do perish and decay?  
And faith and truth from worldly men,  
is parted clean away.  
verse 2 Who so doth with his neighbour talk,  
his talk is all but vain:  
For every man bethinketh how  
to flatter, lie, and fain.   

verse 3 But flattering and deceitful lips,  
and tongues that be so stout:  
To speak proud words and make great brags,  
the Lord soon cut them out.  
verse 4 For they say still we will prevail,  
our tongues shall us extol:  
Out tongues are ours, we aught to speak,  
what Lord shall us control?   

verse 5 But for the great complaint and cry,  
of poor and men oppressed:  
Arise will I now (saith the Lord)  
and them restore to rest.  
verse 6 Gods word is like to silver pure,  
that from the earth is tried:  
And hath no loss then seven times,  
in fire been purified.   

verse 7 Now since thy promise is to help,  
Lord keep thy promise then:  
And save us now and evermore,  
from this ill kind of men.  
verse 8 For now the wicked world is full,  
of mischiefs manifold:  
When vanity with mortal men,  
so highly is extolled.

¶ Sing this as the third Psalm.  

HOw long wilt thou forget me Lord,

How long wilt thou thy visage hide,  
Oas though thou were offended?  
verse 2 In heart and mind how long shall I,  
with care tormented be?  
How long eke shall my 〈◊〉 foe,  
thus triumph over me?   

verse 3 Behold me now (my Lord my God)  
and hear me sore oppressed:  
Lighten mine eyes, lest that I sleep,  
as one by death possessed.  
verse 4 Lest that mine enemy say to me,  
behold I do prevail:  
Lest they also that hate my soul,  
reioy ce to see me quail.   

verse 5 But for thy mercies and goodness,  
my hope shall never start▪  
In thy relief and sinning health,  
right glad shallbe my heart.  
verse 6 I will give thanks unto the Lord,  
and prayse● to him s●●g:  
Because he hath heard my request,  
and granted my wishing.

THere is no God as foolish men,  
affirm in their mad mood:  
Their drifts are all corrupt and vain,  
not one of them doth good.  
verse 2 The Lord beheld from heaven buy,  
the whole race of mankind:  
And saw not one that sought in deed,  
the living God to find.   

verse 3 They went all wide, and were corrupt,  
and truly there was none  
That in the world did any good,  
I say there was not one.  
verse 4 Is all their judgement so far lost,  
that all work mischief still:  
Eating my people even as bread  
not one to seek God's 〈◊〉   

verse 5 When they thus rage's then suddenly,  
great fear on them shall fall:  
For God doth love the righteous men,  
and will maintain them all.  
verse 6 You mock the doings of the poor,  
to their reproach and shame:  
Because they put their trust in God,  
and call upon his name.   

verse 7 But who shall give thy people health?  
and when wilt thou fulfil  
The promise made to Israel,  
from out of Zion bill?  
verse 8 Even when thou shalt restore again,  
such as were captives lad:  
Then jacob shall therein rejoice,  
and Israel shall be glad.    

Domine quis. psal. xv. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the iij. Psalm.  

O Lord within thy Tabernacle,  
who shall inhabit still?  
Or whom wilt thou receive to devil,  
in thy most holy hill?  
verse 2 The man whose life is uncorrupt,  
whose works are just and strait:  
Whose heart doth think the very truth,  
whose tongue speaketh no deceit.   

verse 3 Nor to his neighbour doth none ill.  
in body, goods, or name:  
Nor willingly doth move false tales,  
which might impeire the same.  
verse 4 That in his heart regardeth not,  
malicious wicked men?  
But those that love and fear the Lord,  
he maketh much of them.   

verse 5 His oath and all ●is promises,  
that keepeth faithfully:  
Although he make his covenant so,  
that he doth lose thereby.  
verse 6 That putteth not to usury,  
his money and his coynt:  
Ne for to hurt the Innocent,  
doth bribe or else purjoine.   

verse 7 Who so doth all things as ye see,  
that here is to be done:  
Shall never perish in this world,  
nor in the world to come.    

Conserua me. Psal. xuj. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the xiv. Psalm.  

LOrd keep me, for I trust in thee,  
and do confess in deed:  
Thou art my God, and of my good,  
O Lord thou hast no need.  
verse 2 I give my goodness to the Saints,  
that in the world do devil:  
And namely to thy faithful flock,  
in virtue that excel.   

verse 3 They shall heap sorrows on their beaded  
which run as they were mad:  
To offer to the Idol Gods,  
alas it is to bad.  
verse 4 As for their bloody sacrifice,  
and offerings of that sort  
I will not touch, nor yet thereof  
my lips shall make report.   

verse 5 For why? the Lord the portion is  
of mine inheritance:  
And thou art he that dost maintain  
my rent, my lot, my chance.  
verse 6 The place wherein my lot did fall,  
in beauty did excel:  
Mine heritage assigned to me,  
doth please me wondrous well.   

verse 7 I thank the Lord that caused me,  
to understand the right:  
For by his means my secret thoughts,  
do teach me every night:  
verse 8 I set the Lord still in my sight,  
and trust him over all:  
For he doth stand on my right hand,  
therefore I shall not fall.   

verse 9 Wherefore my heart, and tongue also,  
do both rejoice together:  
My flesh, and body rest in hope,  
when I this thing consider.  
verse 10 Thou wilt not leave my soul in grave,  
for Lord thou lovest me:  
Nor yet wilt give thine holy one  
corruption for to see.   

verse 11 But wilt teach me the way to life:  
for all treasures and store  
Of perfect joy are in thy face,  
and power for evermore.    

Exaudi Domine. Psalm. xvij. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the xiv. psalm.  

O Lord give ear to my just cause,  
attend when I complain:  
And hear the prayer that I put forth,  
with lips that do not feign.  
verse 2 And let the judgement of my cause,  
proceed always from thee:  
And let thine eyes behold and clear,  
this my simplicity.   

verse 3 Thou hast well tried me in the night,  
and yet couldst nothing find:  
That I have spoken with my tongue,  
that was not in my mind.  
verse 4 As from the works of wicked men,  
and paths perverse and ill:  
For love of thy most holy word,  
I have refrained still.   

verse 5 Then in thy paths that be most pure,  
guide me Lord, and preserve:  
That from the way wherein I walk,  
my steps may never swain.  
verse 6 For I do call to thee (O Lord)  
surely thou wilt me aid:  
Then hear my prayer, and way right well,  
the words that I have said.   

verse 7 O thou the Saviour of all them,  
that put their trust in thee:  
Declare thy strength on them that spurn  
against thy majesty.  
verse 8 O keep me Lord as thou wouldst keep,  
the apple of thine eye:  
And under covert of thy wings,  
defend me secretly.   

The second part  

verse 9 From wicked men that trouble me,  
and daily me annoyed?  
And from my foes that go about,  
my soul for to destroy.  
verse 10 Which wallow in their worldly wealth,  
so full and eke so fat:  
That in their pride they do not spare,  
to speak they care not what.   

verse 11 They lie in wait where I should pass  
with craft me to confounded:  
And musing mischief in their minds,  
to cast me to the ground.  
verse 12 Much like a Lion greedily,  
that would his prey embrace:  
Or lurking like a lions whelp,  
within some secret place.   

verse 13 Up Lord with haste prevent my foe,  
and cast him at thy feet:  
Save thou my soul from the ill man,  
and with thy sword him smite.  
verse 14 Deliver me Lord by thy power,  
out of these tyrants bands:  
Which now so long time reigned have,  
and kept us in their hands.   

verse 15 I mean from worldly men, to whom  
all worldly goods are rife:  
That have no hope, nor part of joy,  
but in this present life.  
Thou of thy store their bellies fill'st,  
with pleasures to their mind:  
Their children have enough, and leave  
to theirs the rest behind.   

verse 16 But I shall with pure conscience,  
behold thy gracious face:  
So when I wake I shall be full,  
with thine image and grace.     

Diligam te Domine. Psal. xviij. T. S.  
O God my strength and fortitude, of force I must love thee: Thou art my castle and defence, in my necessity. My God, my rock, in whom I trust the worker of my wealth: my refuge, buckler, and my shield, the horn of all my health.  

verse 3 When I sing land unto the Lord,  
most worthy to be served:  
Then from my foes I am right sure,  
that I shall be preserved.  
verse 4 The pangs of death did compass me,  
and bound me every where:  
The flowing waves of wickedness,  
did put me in great fear.   

verse 5 The sly, and subtle snares of hell,  
were round about me set:  
And for my death there was prepared,  
a deadly trapping net.  
verse 6 I thus beset with pain and grief,  
did pray to God for grace:  
And he forthwith did bear my plaint,  
out of his holy place.   

verse 7 Such is his power that in his wrath,  
he made the earth to quake:  
Yea the foundation of the mount  
of Basan for to shake.  
verse 8 And from his nostrils came a smoke,  
when kindled was his ire:  
And from his month came kindled coals,  
of hot consuming fire.   

verse 9 The Lord descended from above,  
and bowed the heavens high:  
And underneath his feet he cast  
the darkness of the sky.  
verse 10 On Cherubes and on Cherubins,  
full royally he road:  
And on the wings of all the winds,  
came flying all abroad.   

The second part.  

verse 11 And like a den most dark he made,  
his den and secret place:  
With waters black, and airy clouds,  
environed he was.  
verse 12 But when the presence of his face,  
in brightness shall appear:  
Then clouds consume, and in their stead  
come hail, and coals of fire.   

verse 13 These fiery darts and thunderbolts,  
disperse them here, and there:  
And with his often lightnings,  
he puts them in great fear.  
verse 14 Lord at thy wrath, and threatenings,  
and at thy chiding cheer:  
The springs and the foundations  
of all the world appear.   

verse 15 And from above the Lord sent down,  
to fetch me from below:  
And plucked me out of waters great,  
that world me overflow.  
verse 16 And me delivered from my foes,  
that would have made me thrall:  
Yea from such foes as were to strong,  
for me to deal 〈◊〉.   

verse 17 They did prevent me to oppress,  
in time of my great grief:  
But yet the Lord was my defence,  
my succour and relief.  
verse 18 He brought me forth in open place,  
whereas I might be free:  
And kept me safe, because he had,  
a favour unto me.   

verse 19 And as I was an innocent,  
so did he me regard:  
And to the cleans of my hands,  
he gave me my reward.  
verse 20 For that I walked in his ways,  
and in his paths have ●●ode:  
And have not wavered wickedly,  
against my Lord my God.    

The third part.  

verse 21 But evermore I have respect  
to his law and decree:  
His statutes, and commandments,  
I cast not out from me.  
verse 22 But pure, and clean, and uncorrupt  
appeared before his face:  
And did refrain from wickedness,  
and sin in any case.   

verse 23 The Lord therefore will me reward,  
as I have done a right:  
And to the cleans of my hands,  
appearing in his sight.  
verse 24 For Lord with him th●t holy is,  
wi●t thou be holy to:  
And with the good and virtuous men,  
right virtuously wilt do.   

verse 25 And to the loving and elect,  
thy love thou wilt reserve:  
And thou wilt use the wicked men,  
as wicked men deserve.  
verse 26 I or thou dost sane the simple folk,  
in trouble when they lie.  
And dost bring down the countenance  
of them that look full high.   

verse 27 The Lord will light my candle so,  
that it shall shine full bright:  
The Lord my God wi●● make also,  
my darkness to be light.  
verse 28 For by thy help, an host of men  
discomsite Lord I shall:  
By thee I seal and overleap,  
the strength of any wall.   

verse 29 Unspotted are the ways of God,  
his word is purely tried:  
He is a sure defence to s●ch,  
as in his faith abide.  
verse 30 For who is God● except the Lord  
for other there is none:  
Or ●ls who is omnipotent  
saving our God alone.    

The fourth part.  

verse 31 The God that girdeth me with strength,  
is he that I do mean:  
That all the ways wherein I walk,  
did evermore keep clean:  
verse 32 That made my foot like to the hearts  
in swiftness of my pate:  
And for my surety brought me forth,  
into an open place.   

verse 33 He did in order put my hands  
to battle, and to ●ight:  
To break in sunder bars of brass,  
he gave mine arms the might.  
verse 34 Thou teachest me thy saving health,  
thy right hand is my tower:  
Thy love and familiarity,  
doth still increase my power.   

verse 35 And under me thou makest plain,  
the way where I should walk:  
So that my feet shall never slip,  
nor stumble at a baulk.  
verse 36 And fiercely I pursue and take,  
my foes that me annoyed:  
And from the field do not return,  
till they be all destroyed.   

verse 37 So I suppress, and wound my foes,  
that they can rise no more:  
For at my feet they fall down flat,  
I strike them all so sore.  
verse 38 For thou do●st gird me with thy strength,  
to war in such a wise:  
That they be all scattered abroad,  
that up against me rise.   

verse 39 Lord thou hast put into my hands,  
my mortal enemy's yoke:  
And all my foes thou dost divide  
in sunder with thy stro●e:  
verse 40 They called for help but none gave ear,  
nor holp them with relief:  
Yea to the Lord they called, for help,  
yet heard he not their grief.    

The fift part.  

verse 41 And still like dust before the wind,  
I drive them under feet:  
And sweep them out like filthy clay,  
that sticketh in the street.  
verse 42 Thou keepest me from seditious folk,  
that still in strife be led:  
And thou dost of the heathen folk,  
appoint me to be head.   

verse 43 A people strange to me unknown,  
and yet they shall me serve:  
And at the first obey my words,  
whereas mine owen will swerver.  
verse 44 I shall be irksome to mine own,  
they will not see my light:  
But wander wide out of the way,  
and rid them out of sight.   

verse 45 But blessed be the living Lord,  
most worthy of all praise:  
That is my rock and saving health,  
praised be he always.  
verse 46 For God it is that gave me power,  
revenged for to be:  
And with his holy word subdued,  
the people unto me.   

verse 47 And from my so me delivered,  
and set me higher than those:  
That cruel and ungodly were,  
and up against me rose.  
verse 48 And for this cause, O Lord my God,  
to the e●en● thanks I shall:  
And sing out praises to thy name,  
among the Gentiles all.   

verse 49 That gavest great prosperity,  
unto the king I say:  
To David thine anointed king,  
and to his seed for ay.     

Coeli enarrant. Psal. xix. T. S.  
Sing this as the xiv. Psalm.  

THe heavens and the firmament,  
do wondrously declare  
The glory of God omnipotent,  
his works and what they are.  
verse 2 The 〈…〉 of God appear,  
by every days success:  
The nights like: 〈◊〉 which their race run,  
the sel●e same things express.   

verse 3 There is no language▪ tongue, or speech,  
where their ●ound is not heard:  
verse 4 In all the 〈◊〉 and coasts thereof,  
their knowledge is conferred.  
In them the Lord made for the Son,  
a place of great ●enome:  
verse 5 Who ly●e a bridegroom ready trimmed,  
doth from his chamber come.   

And as a valiant champion,  
who for to get a price:  
With joy in haste doth t●ke in hand,  
some noble enterprise.  
verse 6 And all the sky from end to end,  
he compasseth about:  
Nothing can hide it from his heat,  
but he will find it out.   

verse 7 How perfect is the law of God,  
how is his comenaunt sure:  
Converting souls, and making wise,  
the simple and obseure.  
verse 8 Just are the lords commandments,  
and glad both heart and mind:  
His precepts pure, and giveth light,  
to eyes that be full blind.   

verse 9 The fear of God is excellent,  
and doth endure for ever.  
The judgements of the Lord are true,  
a●d righteous altogether.  
verse 10 And more to be embraced always,  
then fined gold I say:  
The honey and the honey comb,  
are not so sweet as they.   

verse 11 By them thy servant is forewarned,  
to have God in regard  
And in performance of the same,  
there shallbe great reward.  
verse 12 But Lord what earthly man doth know,  
the errors of this ly●e?  
Thou cleanse my heart from secret sins,  
which are in me most rise.   

verse 13 And keep me that presumptuous sins,  
prevail not over me:  
And then shall I be innocent,  
and great offences flee.  
verse 14 Accept my mouth, and eke my heart,  
my words and thoughts eachone:  
For my redeemer and my strength,  
O Lord thou art alone.    

Exaudiet te Dominus. psal. xx. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the xiv. Psalm.  

IN trouble and adversity,  
the Lord God hear thee still:  
The majesty of jacob's God,  
defend thee from all ill.  
verse 2 And sand thee from his holy place,  
his help at every need:  
And so in Zion establish thee,  
and make thee strong in deed.   

verse 3 Remembering well the sacrifice,  
that now to him is done:  
And so receive right thankfully,  
thy burnt offerings eachone.  
verse 4 According to thy hearts desire,  
the Lord grant unto thee:  
And all thy counsel and devise,  
full well perform may be.   

verse 5 We shall rejoice when thou is savest,  
and our banners display  
Unto the Lord which thy requests,  
fulfilled hath all ●ay.  
verse 6 The Lord will his anointed save,  
I know well by his grace:  
And sand him health by his right hand,  
out of his holy place.   

verse 7 In charets some put confidence,  
and some in horses trust:  
But we remember God our Lord  
that keepeth promise' just.  
verse 8 They fall down flat, but we do rise,  
and stand up steadfastly:  
verse 9 Now save and help us. Lord and king.  
o● thee when we do cry.    

Domine in virtute. Psal. xxi T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the xviij. Psalm.  

O Lod how ●oyfull is the king,  
in thy strength and thy power:  
How vehemently doth he rejoice,  
in thee his Saviour:  
verse 2 For thou hast given unto him,  
his godly hearts desire.  
To him nothing hast thou denied,  
of that he did require.   

verse 3 Thou didst prevent him with thy gifts,  
and blessings manifold:  
And thou hast set upon his head,  
a crown of perfect gold.  
verse 4 And when he asked life of thee,  
thereof thou mad'st him sure  
To have long life, yea such ● life  
as ever should endure.   

verse 5 Great is his glory by thy help  
thy benefit and aid:  
Great worship and great honour both,  
thou hast upon him laid:  
verse 6 Thou wilt give him felicity,  
that never shall decay:  
And with thy cheerful countenance,  
wilt comfort him always.   

verse 7 For why the king doth strongly trust,  
in God for to prevail:  
Therefore his goodness and his grace,  
will not that he shall quail.  
verse 8 But let thine enemies feel thy force,  
and those that thee withstand.  
Find out thy foes, and let them feel,  
the power of thy right hand.   

verse 9 And like an oven burn them Lord,  
in 〈◊〉 flame and fame:  
Thy ●nger shall destroy them all,  
and fire shall them consume.  
verse 10 And thou wilt root out of the earth,  
their fruit that should increase:  
And from the number of thy folk,  
their seed shall end and cease.   

verse 11 For why much mischief did they muse,  
against thy holy name:  
yet did they fail and had no power,  
●or to perform the same.  
verse 12 But as a mark thou shalt them set,  
in a most open place.  
And charge thy bowstringes readily,  
against thine enemy's face.   

verse 13 Be thou exalted Lord therefore,  
in thy strength every hour:  
So shall we sing right solemnly,  
praising thy might and power.    

Deus Deus meus. Psal. xxij. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the xviij. Psalm.  

O God my God wherefore dost thou,  
forsake me utterly:  
And helpest not when I do make,  
my great complaint and cry?  
verse 2 To thee my God even all day long,  
I do both cryand call:  
I cease not all the night, and yet  
thou hear●st not at all.   

verse 3 Even thou that in thy sanctuary▪  
and holy place dost devil:  
Thou a●t the comfort and the joy,  
and glory of Israel.  
verse 4 And he in whom our Father's old,  
had all their hope for ever:  
And when they put their trust in thee,  
so didst thou them deliver.   

verse 5 They were delivered ever when  
they called on thy name:  
And for the faith they had in thee,  
they were nor put to shame.  
verse 6 But I am now become a worm,  
more like than any man:  
An outcast whom the people scorn,  
with all the spite they can.   

verse 7 And me despise as they behold  
me walking on the way,  
They grin, they mow, they nod their heads,  
and in this wise they say:  
verse 8 This man did glory in the Lord,  
his favour and his love:  
Let him redeem and help him now,  
his power if he will prove.   

verse 9 But Lord out of my mother's womb,  
I came by thy request:  
Thou didst preserve me still in hope,  
while I did suck her breast.  
verse 10 I was committed from my birth,  
with the to have abode:  
Since I was in my mother's womb,  
thou hast been ever my God.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Then Lord departed not now from me,  
in this my present grief:  
Since I have none to be my help,  
my succour and relief:  
verse 12 So many Bulls do compass me,  
that be full strong of head:  
Yea Bulls so fat as though they had  
in Basan field been fed.   

verse 13 They gape upon me greedily,  
as though they would me slay:  
Much like a Lion roaring out,  
and ramping for his prey.  
verse 14 But I drop down like water shed,  
my joints in sunder break:  
My heart doth in my body melt,  
like wax against the heat.   

verse 15 And like a potsherd drieth my strength,  
my tongue it cleaneth fast  
Unto my jaws, and I am brought  
to dust of death at last.  
verse 16 And many dogs do compass me,  
and wicked counsel eke:  
Conspire against me cursedly,  
they pierce my hands and feet.   

verse 17 I was tormented so, that I  
might all my bones have told:  
Yet still upon me they do look,  
And still they me behold.  
verse 18 My garments they divided eke,  
in parts among them all:  
And for my coat they did cast lots,  
to whom it might be fall.   

verse 19 Therefore I pray thee be not far  
from me at my great need:  
But rather such thou art my strength,  
to help me Lord make speed.  
verse 20 And from the sword Lord save my soul,  
by thy might and thy power:  
And keep my soul, thy darling dear,  
from dogs that would devour.   

verse 21 And from the lions mouth that would  
me all in sunder shiver:  
And from the horns of Unicorns,  
Lord safely me deliver.  
verse 22 And I shall to my brethren all,  
thy majesty record:  
And in thy Church shall praise the name  
of thee the living Lord    

The third part.  

verse 23 All ye that fear him praise the Lord,  
thou jacob honour him:  
And all ye seed of Israel,  
with reverence worship him.  
verse 24 For he despiseth not the poor,  
he turneth not awry  
His countenance, when they do call,  
but granteth to their cry.   

verse 25 Among the flock that fear the Lord,  
I will therefore proclaim  
Thy praise, and keep my promise made,  
for setting forth thy name.  
verse 26 The poor shall eat and be sufficed,  
and those that do their devoir  
To know the Lord shall praise his name,  
their hearts shall li●e fo● ever.   

verse 27 All coasts of earth shall praise the Lord,  
and turn to him for grace:  
The heathen folk shall worship him,  
before his blessed face.  
verse 28 The kingdom of the heathen folk,  
the Lord shall have therefore:  
And he shall be their governor,  
and king for evermore.   

verse 29 The rich men of his godly gifts,  
shall feed and taste also:  
And in his presence worship him,  
and how their knees full low.  
verse 30 And all that shall go down to dust,  
of life by him must t●●t:  
My seed shall serve and pray his name,  
while any world shall last.   

verse 31 My ●eede shall plainly show to them  
that shall be bor●e hereafter  
His justice, and his righteousness,  
and all his works of wonder.     

Dominus regit me. psal. twenty-three. T.S.  
¶ Sing this as the xxj Psalm.  

THe Lord is only my support,  
and he that doth me feed:  
How can I then lack any thing  
whereof I stand in need?  
verse 2 He doth me fold in coats most safe,  
the tender grass fast by:  
And after drives me to the streams,  
which run most pleasantly.   

verse 3 And when I feel myself near lost,  
then doth he me home take:  
Conducting me in his right paths,  
even for his own names sa●●e.  
verse 4 And though I were even at deaths door,  
yet would I fear none ill:  
For with thy rod, and shepherds crook,

verse 5 Thou hast my table richly decked,  
in despite of my so:  
Thou hast my head with balm refresh,  
my cup doth overfloe.  
verse 6 And finally while breath doth last,  
thy grace shall me defend:  
And in the house of God will I  
my life for ever spend.

Then in his temple every man

Exaltabo te Dom. psal. thirty. I.H.  
Alllaud and praise, with heart and voice O Lord I give to thee: which didst not make my foes rejoice but hast exalted me. O Lord my God to thee I cried, in all my pain and grief; thou gavest an ear and didst provide, to ease me with relief.  

verse 3 Of thy good will thou hast called back,  
my soul from hell to save:  
Thou didst revive when strength did lack,  
and kept me from the grave.  
verse 4 Sing praise ye Saints, that prove and see  
the goodness of the Lord:  
In memory of his majesty,  
rejoice with one accord.   

verse 5 For why his anger but a space  
doth last, and slake again:  
But in his favour and his grace,  
always doth life remain.  
Though gripes of grief and pangs full sore,  
shall lodge with us all night:  
The Lord to joy shall us restore,  
before the day be light.   

verse 6 When I enjoyed the world at will,  
thus would I boast and say:  
Tush I am sure to feel none ill,  
this wealth shall not decay.  
verse 7 For thou (O Lord) of thy good grace,  
hadst sent me strength and aid:  
But when thou turndst away thy face,  
my mind was sore dismayed.   

verse 8 Wherefore again yet did I cry,  
to thee O Lord of might:  
My God with plaints I did apply,  
and prayed both day, and night.  
verse 9 What gain is in my blood said I,  
if death destroy my days?  
Doth dust declare thy majesty?  
or yet thy truth doth praise?   

verse 10 Wherefore my God some pity take,  
O Lord I thee desire:  
Do not this simple soul forsake,  
of help I thee require.  
verse 11 Then didst thou turn my grief and woe,  
unto a cheerful voice:  
The mourning weed thou tookst me fro,  
and madest me to rejoice.   

verse 12 Wherefore my soul uncessantly,  
shall sing unto thy praise:  
My Lord, my God to thee will I  
give laud and thanks always.

O Lord I put my trust in thee,  
let nothing work me shame:  
As thou art just deliver me,

to help me Lord make speed:  
Be thou my rock and house of stone,  
my fence in time of need.   

verse 3 For why? as stones thy strength is tried,  
thou art my fort and tower:  
For thy name's sake be thou my guide,  
and lead me in thy power.  
verse 4 Pluck forth my fee●e out of the snare,  
which they for me have laid:  
Thou art my strength, and all my care  
is for thy might, and aid.   

verse 5 Into thy hands Lord I commit  
my spirit which is thy due:  
For why? thou hast redeemed it,  
O Lord thou God most true.  
verse 6 I hate such folk as will ●ot part  
from things to be abhorred:  
When they on tri●●es set their heart,

I see it doth excel:  
Thou seest when aught would me annoyed,  
and knowest my soul full well.  
verse 8 Thou hast not left me in their hand,  
that would me overcharge:  
But thou hast set me out of ba●d,  
to walk abroad at large.   

The second part.  

verse 9 Great grief (O Lord) doth me assail,  
some pity on me take.  
Mine eyes wax dim, my sight doth sail,  
my womb for woe doth ache.  
verse 10 My life is worn with grief and pain,  
my years in woe are past:  
My strength is gone, and through disdain  
my bones corrupt and waste.   

verse 11 Among my foes I am a scorn,  
my friends are all dismayed:  
My neighbours and my kinfemen borne,  
to see me are afraid.  
verse 12 As men once dead are out of mind,  
so am I now forgot:  
As small effect in me they find,  
as in a broken pot.   

verse 13 I heard the brags of all the rout,  
their threats my mind did fray:  
How they conspired and went about,  
to take my life away.  
verse 14 But Lord I trust in thee for aid,  
not to be overtrod:  
For I confess and still have said,  
thou art my Lord and God.   

verse 15 The length of all my life and age,  
O Lord is in thy hand:  
Defend me from the wraths and rage,  
of them that me withstand.  
verse 16 To me thy servant (Lord) express,  
and show thy joyful face:  
And save me Lord for thy goodness,  
thy mercy and thy grace.    

The third part.  

verse 17 Lord let me not be put to blame,  
for that on thee I call:  
But let the wicked bear their shame,  
and in the grave to fall.  
verse 18 O how great good hast thou in store,  
laid up full safe for them  
That fear and trust in thee therefore,  
before the sons of men.   

verse 19 Thy presence shall them fence, and guide  
from all proud brags, and wrongs:  
Within thy place thou shalt them hide,  
from all the strife of tongues.  
verse 20 Thanks to the Lord that hath declared,  
on me his grace so far:  
Me to defend with watch, and ward,  
as in a town of war.   

verse 21 Thus did I say both day and night,  
when I was sore oppressed:  
Lo, I was clean cast out of sight▪  
yet heardst thou my request.  
verse 22 You Saints love ye the Lord I say,  
the faithful he doth guide,  
And to the proud he doth repay,  
according to their pride.   

verse 23 Be strong and God shall stay your heart,

For sure the Lord will take your part,  
sith ye on him do trust.

Which in his heart hath hid no guile,  
no fraud is found therein.   

verse 3 For whilst that I kept close my sin  
in silence and 〈◊〉:  
My ●●nes did wear, and waste away,  
with daily moan, and plaint.  
verse 4 For night, and day thy hand on me  
so grievous was and smart:  
That all my blood and humours moist,  
to drives did convert.   

verse 5 I did therefore confess my fault,  
and all my sins discover:  
Then thou (O Lord) didst me forgive,  
and all my sins pass over.  
verse 6 The humble man shall pray therefore,  
and seek thee in due time:  
So that the floods of waters great,  
shall have no power on him.   

verse 7 When trouble and adversity,  
doc compass me about:  
Thou art 〈◊〉 refuge, and my joy,  
and thou dost rid me out.  
verse 8 Come hither and I shall thee teach,  
how thou shalt work aright:  
And will thee guide as I myself,  
have learned by proof and fight.   

verse 9 Be not so rude and ignorant,  
as is the Horse, and Mule,  
Whose mouth without a rain or bit,  
from harm thou canst not rule.  
verse 10 The wicked man shall manifold,  
sorrows and grief sustain:  
But unto him that trusts in God,  
his goodness shall remain.   

verse 11 Be merry therefore in the Lord,  
ye just lift up your voice:  
And ye of pure and perfect heart,  
be glad and eke rejoice.

¶ Sing this as the thirty. Psalm.  

YOU righteous in the Lord rejoice,  
it is a seemly sight  
That upright men with thankful voice,  
should praise the God of might.  
verse 2 Praise ye the Lord with harp and song,  
in Psalms and pleasant things:  
With Lu●e and instrument among,  
that soundeth with ten strings.   

verse 3 Sing to the Lord a song most new,  
with courage g●ue him praise:  
verse 4 ●or w●● this word is ever true,  
his works and all his ways.  
verse 5 To judgement equity, and right,  
he hath a right good will:  
And with his 〈◊〉 he doth delight  
the earth throughout to fill.   

verse 6 For by the word of God alone,  
th● heavens all were wrought:  
Their hosts, and powers every one,  
his breath to pass hath brought,  
verse 7 The waters great gathered hath he,  
on heaps within the shore:  
And hide them in the depth to be,  
as in an house of store.   

verse 8 All men on earth both lest and most,  
scare God and keep his law:  
You that inhabit in each coast,  
dread him and stand 〈◊〉 ●aw.

at once with present speed:  
What he doth will 〈◊〉 brought to pass,

verse 10 The counsels of the nations rude,  
the Lord doth drive to naught:  
He doth defeat the multitude  
of their device and thought.  
verse 11 But his decrees continued still,  
they never slake nor ●wage:  
The mott●ns of his mind and will  
take place in every age.   

The second part.  

verse 12 And blest are they to whom the Lord,  
as God and guide is known:  
Whom he doth choose of mee●e accord,  
to take them as his own.  
verse 13 The Lord from 〈◊〉 cast his sight,  
on men mortal by birth?  
Considering from his ●eat of might,  
the dwellers of the earth.   

verse 15 The Lord I say whose hand hath wrought,  
ma●s heart, and doth it frame:  
For he alone doth know the thought,  
and working of the same.  
verse 16 A king that trusteth in his host,  
shall naught prevail at length:  
The man that of his might doth boast,  
shall fall for all his strength.   

verse 17 The troops of horsemen 〈◊〉 shall fail,  
their sturdy steeded shall starve:  
The strength of horse shall not prevail,

verse 18 Butt lo the eyes of God intent,  
and watch to aid the just:  
With such as fear him to offend,  
and on his goodness trust.   

verse 19 That he of death and all distress,  
may set their soul from dread▪  
And if that dearth the land oppress,  
in hunger them to feed.  
verse 20 Wherefore out soul doth still depend  
on God our strength and stay:

For why? in his most holy name,  
we hope and much delight.

still present with us be:  
As we always with one accord,  
do only trust in thee.

verse 3 Therefore see that ye magnify,

And let us now exalt his name,  
together with one accord.  
verse 4 For I myself besought the Lord,

And me delivered incontinent,  
from all my fear and pain.   

verse 5 Who so they be that him behold,  
shall see his light most clear:  
Their countenance shall not be dashed,  
they need it not to fear.  
verse 6 This se●ly wretch for some relief,

Who did him hear without delay,  
and rid him out of thrall.   

verse 7 The angel of the Lord doth pitch,  
his tents in every place:  
To save all such as fear the Lord,  
that nothing them de●ace.  
verse 8 Taste and consider well therefore,  
that God is good and justs  
O happy man that 〈◊〉 hi●▪  
his only stay and trust.   

verse 9 Fear ye the Lord his holy ones,  
above all earthly thing:  
For they that fear the living Lord,  
are sure to lack nothing▪  
verse 10 The Lions shall be hungerbit,  
and pined with famine much:  
But as for them that fear the Lord,  
no lack shall be to such.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Come near therefore my children dea●●,  
and to my words give ear:  
I shall you teach the perfect way,  
how ye the Lord should fear.  
verse 12 Who is that man that would live long,  
and lead a blessed life:  
verse 13 See thou re●●aine thy tongue and lips,  
from all deceit and stri●e.   

verse 14 Turn back thy face from doing ill,  
and do the godly deed:  
Inquire for peace and quietness,  
and follow it with speed.  
verse 15 For why? the eyes of God above,  
upon the just are bend:  
His ears likewise do hear the plaint,  
of the poor innocent.   

verse 16 But he doth frown and bend his brows,  
upon the wicked train:  
And cutth away the memory,  
that should of them remain.  
verse 17 But when the just doth call and cry,  
the Lord doth hear them so:  
That out of pain and misery,  
forthwith he lets them go.   

verse 18 The Lord is kind and strait at hand,  
to such as be contrite:  
He saves also the sorrowful,  
the meek and poor in spirits.  
verse 19 Full many be the miseries,  
that righteous men do suffer:  
But out of all adversities.  
the Lord doth them deliver.   

verse 20 The Lord doth so preserve and keeps,  
his very bones always:  
That not so much as one of them,  
doth perish or decay.  
verse 21 The sin shall ●lea the wicked man,  
which he himself hath wrought:  
And such as hate the righteous man,  
shall soon be brought to naught.   

verse 22 But they that serve the living Lord  
the Lord doth save them sound:  
And who that put their trust in him,  
nothing shall them confounded.     

judica Domine. psal. xxxv. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the humble suit. etc.  

LOrd pled my cause against my ●oes,  
confounded their force and might:  
Fight on my part against all those,  
that seek with me to fight.  
verse 2 Lay hand upon thy spear and shield,  
thyself in armour dress:  
Stand up for me and fight the field,  
to help me from distress.   

verse 3 Gird on thy sword and stop the way,  
mine enemies to withstand:  
That thou unto my soul mayst say  
lo I thy help at hand.  
verse 4 Confounded them with rebuke and blame,  
that seek my soul to spill:  
Let them turn back and fly with shame,  
that think to work me ill.   

verse 5 Let them disperse and fly abroad,  
as wind doth drive the dust:  
And that the angel of our God.  
their might away may thrust.  
verse 6 Let all their ways be void of light,  
and ●●ppery like to fall:  
And sand thine Angel with thy might,  
to persecute them all.   

verse 7 For why? without my fault they have,  
in secret set their grin:  
And for no cause have digged a pi●,  
to take my soul therein.  
verse 8 When they think least and have no care  
O Lord destroy them all:  
Let them be trapped in their own snare,  
and in their mischief fall.   

verse 9 And let my soul, my heart, my voice,  
in God have joy and wealth:  
That in the Lord I may rejoice,  
and in his saving health.  
verse 10 And then my bones shall speak and say,  
my parts shall all agreed:  
O Lord though they do seem full gay,  
what man is like to thee?   

The second part.  

verse 11 Thou dost defend the weak from them,  
that are both stout and strong:  
And rid the poor from wicked men,  
that spoil and do me wrong.  
verse 12 My cruel foes against me rise,  
to witness things untrue:  
And to accuse me they devise,  
of that I never knew.   

verse 13 Where I to them did own good will,  
they quite me with disdain:  
That they should pay my good with ill,  
my soul doth sore complain.  
verse 14 When they were sick I mourned therefore,  
and clad myself in sack.  
With fasting I did faint full sore,  
to pray I was not slack.   

verse 15 As they had been my brethren dear,  
I did myself behave:  
As one that maketh woeful cheer,  
about his mother's grave.  
verse 16 But they at my disease did joy,  
and gather on a rout.  
Yea abject ●aues at me did toy,  
with mocks and checks full stout.   

verse 17 The belly Gods and 〈◊〉 train,  
that all good things de●●de:  
At me do grin with great disdain,  
and pluck their mouth a side.  
verse 18 Lord when wilt thou amend this gear,  
why dost thou stay and pause:  
O rid my ●oule mine only dear,  
out of the lions claws.   

verse 19 And then will I give thanks to thee,  
before thy Church always:  
And where as most of people be,  
there will I show thy praise.  
verse 20 Let not my foes prevail on me,  
which hate me for no fault:  
Nor yet to wink or turn their eye,  
that causeless me assault.    

The third part.  

verse 21 Of peace no word they think or say,  
their talk is all untrue:  
They still consult and would betray,  
all those that peace ensue.  
verse 22 With open mouth they run at me,  
they gape, they laugh, they fleer:  
Well, well, say they, our eye doth see,  
the thing that we desire.   

verse 23 But Lord thou ●rest●●hat ways they take,  
cease not this g●are to m●●d:  
Be not far of nor me forsake.  
as men that fail their friend.  
verse 24 Awake, arise, and stir abroad,  
defend me in my right:  
Revenge my cause, my Lord, my God,  
and aid me with thy might.   

verse 25 According to thy righteousness,  
my Lord God set me free:  
And let not them their pride express,  
nor triumph over me.  
verse 26 Let not their heart rejoice and cry,  
there, there, this gear goeth trim:  
Nor give them cause to say on ●●ye,  
we have our will on him.   

verse 27 Confounded them with rebuke and shame,  
that joy when I do mourn:  
And pay them home with spite and blame,  
that brag at me with scorn.  
verse 28 Let them be glad and eke rejoice,  
which love mine upright way:  
And they all times with heart and voice,  
shall pr●● see the Lord and say:   

verse 19 Great is the Lord and doth excel,  
for why? he doth delight:  
To see his servants prospero well,  
that is his pleasant sight.  
verse 30 Wherefore my tongue I will apply,  
thy righteousness to praise:  
Unto the Lord my God will I,  
sing la●d and thanks always.     

Dixit iniustus. Psal. xxxvi. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the xxxv. Psalm.  

THe wicked with his works unjust,  
doth thu● persuade my heart.  
That of the Lord he hath no care,  
his ●eare is set a part.  
verse 2 Yet doth he joy in his estate,  
to walk as he began:  
So long till he deserve the hate  
of God and eke of man.   

verse 3 His words are wicked, vile, and nought,  
his tongue no truth doth tell:  
Yet at no hand will he be taught,  
which way he may do well.  
verse 4 When he should sleep, then doth he muse  
his mischief to fulfil:  
Not wicked ways doth he refuse,  
nor nothing that is ill.   

verse 5 But Lord thy goodness doth ascend,  
above the heavens high:  
So doth thy truth itself extend,  
unto the cloudy sky.  
verse 6 Much more than hills so high and steep,  
thy justice is expressed:  
Thy judgements like to seas most deep,  
thou savest both man and beast.   

verse 7 Thy mercy is above all things,  
O God it doth excel:  
In trust whereof as in thy wings.  
thy sons of men shall devil.  
verse 8 Within thy house they shall be fed,  
with plenty at their will:  
Of all delights they shall be sped,  
and take thereof their ●ll.   

verse 9 For why? the well of life so pure,  
doth ever flow from thee:  
And in thy light we are full sure,  
the lasting light to see.  
verse 10 From such as thee desire, and know,  
let not thy grace departed:  
Thy righteousness declar●, and show  
to men of upright heart.   

verse 11 Let not the proud on me prevalle,  
O Lord of thy good grace▪  
Nor let the wicked me assail,  
to throw me out of place.  
verse 12 But they in their device shall fall,  
that wicked works maintain:  
They shall be overthrown with all,  
and never rise again.    

Noli aemulari. psal. xxxvii. W.W.  
¶ Sing this as the xxxv. Psalm.  

Grudge not to see the wicked men,  
in wealth to flourish still:  
Nor yet envy such as to ill  
have bend and set their william.  
verse 2 For as green grass and flourishing herbs,  
are cut and whither away:  
So shall their great prosp●●tie  
soon pass, fade, and decay.   

verse 3 Trust thou therefore in God alone,  
to de well give thy mynder.  
So shalt thou have the land as thine,  
and there sure food shalt find.  
verse 4 In God set all thy hearts delight,  
and look what thou wouldst have:  
Or else canst wis● in all the world,  
thou needest it not to 〈◊〉.   

verse 5 Cast both thyself and thine affairs,  
on God with perfect trust:  
And thou shalt see with patience,  
the effect both sure and just.  
verse 6 The perfect life and godly name,  
he will clear as the light:  
So that the Sun, even at noon days,  
shall not shine half so bright.   

verse 7 Be still therefore, and steadfastly  
on God see thou wait then:  
Not shrinking for the prosperous state  
of lewd and wicked men.  
verse 8 Shake of despite, envy, and hate,  
at lest in any wi●e  
Their wicked steps avoid and fly,  
and follow not their guise.   

verse 9 For every wicked man will God,  
destroy both more and less:  
But such as trust in God are sure,  
the land for to possess.  
verse 10 Watch but a while, and thou shalt see  
no more the wicked train▪  
Not not so much as house or place,  
where once he did remain.   

The second part.  

verse 11 But mercy full and humble men,  
enjoy shall sea and land:  
In rest and peace they shall rejoice,  
for naught shall them with stand.  
verse 12 The lewd men and malicious,  
against the just conspire:  
They gnash their teeth at him, as men  
which do his ba●e desire.   

verse 13 But while that lewd men thus do think,  
the Lord laughs them to scorn:  
For why? he seeth their term approach,  
when they shall sigh and mourn.  
verse 14 The wicked have their sword out drawn,  
their bow eke have they ben●:  
To overthrow and kill the poor,  
as they the rightway went.   

verse 15 But the same sword shall pear●e their heart  
which was to kill the just:  
Likewise the how shall break to shivers,  
wherein they put their trust.  
verse 16 Doubtless the just man's poor estate,  
is better a great deal more:  
Then all these lewd and worldly men's  
rich pomp and heaped store.   

verse 17 For be their power never so strong,  
God will it overthrow:  
Where contrary he doth preserve,  
the humble men and low.  
verse 18 He seeth by his great providence,  
the good men's trade and way:  
And will give them inheritance,  
which never shall decay.   

verse 19 They shall not be discouraged,  
when some are hard bestead:  
When other shall be hungerbit,  
they shall be clad and fed.  
verse 20 For who so ever wicked is,  
and enemy to the Lord  
Shall quail, yea melteven as lambs gre●ce,  
or smoke that fleeth abroad.    

The third part.  

verse 21 Behold the wicked borroweth much,  
and never payeth again:  
Whereas the just by liberal gifts,  
makes many glad and fain.  
verse 22 For they whom God doth bless shall have,  
the land for heritage:  
And they whom he doth curse likewise,  
shall perish in his rage.   

verse 23 The Lord the just man's ways doth guide,  
and gives him good success:  
To every thing be takes in hand,  
he sendeth good address.  
verse 24 Though that he fall yet is he sure,  
not v●tterly to quail:  
Because the Lord stret●hth out his hand  
at need, and doth not fail.   

verse 25 I have been young and now am old,  
yet did I never see:  
The just man jest, or else his seed  
to beg for misery.  
verse 26 But giveth always most liberally,  
and lends whereas is need:  
His children, and posterity  
receive of God their meed.   

verse 27 Fly vice therefore and wickedness,  
and virtue do embrace:  
So God shall grant thee long to hau●,  
in earth a dwelling place.  
verse 28 For God so loveth equity,  
and showeth to his such grace:  
That he preserves them evermore,  
but stroyes the wicked race.   

verse 29 Whereas the good and godly men  
inherit shall the land:  
Having as Lords all things therein,  
in their own power and hand.  
verse 30 The just man's mouth doth ever speak●  
of matters wise and high:  
His tongue doth talk to edify  
with truth and equity.   

verse 31 For in his heart the law of God,  
his Lord doth still abide:  
So that where ever he goeth or walketh,  
his foot can never slide.  
verse 32 The wicked like a ravening Wolf,  
the just man doth beset:  
By all means seeking him to kill,  
if he fall in his net.    

The fourth part.  

verse 33 Though he should fall into his hands,  
yet God would secure sand:  
Though men against him sentence give,  
God would him yet defend.  
verse 34 Wait thou on God and keep his way  
he shall preserve thee then  
The earth to rule, and thou shalt see  
destroyed these wicked men.   

verse 35 The wicked have I seen most strong,  
and placed in high degree:  
Flourishing in all wealth and store,  
as doth the Lautell tree.  
verse 36 But suddenly he passed away,  
and lo he was quite gone:  
Then I him sought but could scarce find,  
the place where dwelled such one.   

verse 37 Mark and behold the perfect man,  
how God doth him increase:  
For the just man shall have at length,  
great joy with rest and peace.  
verse 38 As for transgressor's woe to them,  
destroyed they shall all be:  
God will cut of their budding race,  
and rich posterity.   

verse 39 But the salvation of the just,  
doth come from God above:  
Who in their trouble sends them aid,  
of his mere gra●e and love.  
verse 40 God doth th●m help, save, and deliver,  
from lewd men and unjust:  
And still will save them, whilst that they  
in him do put their trust.     

Domine ne. psal. xxxviii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the xxxv. Psalm.  

Put me not to rebuke O Lord,  
in thy provoked ire:  
Ne in thy heavy wrath O Lord,  
correct me I desire.  
verse 2 Thy arrows do stick fast in me,  
thy hand doth press me s●re:  
verse 3 And in my flesh no health at all,  
appeareth any more.   

And all this is by reason of  
thy wrath that I am in:  
Nor any rest is in my bones,  
by reason of my sin.  
verse 4 For lot, my wicked doings Lord,  
above my head are gone:  
As greater load than I can bear,  
they lie me fore upon.   

verse 5 My wounds stink and are festered so,  
as loathsome is to see:  
Which all through mine own foolishness,  
betideth unto me.  
And I in careful wise am brought  
in trouble and distress:  
verse 6 That I go wailing all the day,  
my doleful heaviness.   

verse 7 My l●ynes are filled with sore disease,  
my flesh hath no whole part:  
verse 8 I feeble am and broken sore,  
I roar for grief of heart.  
verse 9 Thou knowest Lord my desire, my groves  
are open in thy sight:  
verse 10 My heart doth pant, my sight hath failed,  
mine eyes have lost their light.   

verse 11 My lovers and my wonted friends,  
stand looking on my woe:  
And eke my kinsmen far away,  
are me departed fro.  
verse 12 They that did seek my life laid snares,  
and they that sought the way  
To do me hurt spoke lies, and thought  
on treason all the day.   

The second part.  

verse 13 But as a deaf man I become,  
that cannot hear at all:  
verse 14 And as one dumb that opens not  
his mouth to speak with all.  
verse 15 For all my confidence O Lord,  
is wholly set on thee:  
verse 16 O Lord, thou Lord that art my God,  
thou wilt give ear to me.   

This I did crave that they my foes,  
triumph not over me:  
verse 17 For when my foot did slip, than they  
did joy my fall to see.  
And truly I poor wretch am set,  
in plague a woeful wight:  
And eke my griefful beavynes,  
is ever in my sight.   

verse 18 For while that I my wickedness,  
in humble wise confess:  
And while I for my sinful deeds,  
my sorrow do express.  
verse 19 My foes do still remain alive,  
and mighty are also:  
And they that hate me wrongfully,  
in number hugely grow.   

verse 20 They stand against me that my good  
with evil do repay:  
Because that good and honest things,  
I do ensue always.  
verse 21 Forsake me not O Lord my God,  
be thou not far away:  
verse 22 Hast me to help my Lord my God▪  
my safety and my 〈◊〉.     

Dixi custodiam. Psal. xxxix. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the xxxv. Psalm.  

I Said I will look to my ways,  
for fear I should go wrong:  
I will take heed all times, that I  
offend not in my tongue.  
verse 2 As with a 〈◊〉 I will keep fall,  
my mouth with force and might:  
Not once to whisper all the while  
the wicked are in ●ight.   

verse 3 I held my tongue and spoke no word,  
but kept me 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉  
Yea from good talk I did 〈…〉,  
but sore against my william.  
verse 4 My heart wax●ho●e within my breast,  
with musing, thought, and doubt:  
Which did increase and flyrr● the fire,  
at last these worde● br●st out:   

verse 5 Lord number out my life and days,  
which yet I have not past,  
So that I may be certified,  
how long my days shall last.  
verse 6 Lord thou hast pointed out my life,  
in length much like a span:  
Mine age is nothing unto thee,  
so vain is every man.   

verse 7 Man walketh like a shade, and doth  
in vain himself annoyed  
In getting goods, and can not tell  
who shall the same enjoy,  
verse 8 Now Lord sith things this wise do 〈◊〉,  
what help do I desire:  
Of truth my hope doth hung on th●●,  
I nothing else require.   

The second part.  

verse 9 From all the sins that I have done,  
Lord quite me out of hands  
And make me not a scorn to fools,  
that nothing understand.  
verse 10 I was as dumb, and to complain  
no trouble might me move:  
Because I know it was thy work,  
my patience for to prove.   

verse 11 Lord take from me thy scourge and plague  
I can them not withstand:  
I faint and pine away for fear  
of thy most heavy hand.  
verse 12 When thou for sin dost man rebuke,  
he waxeth woe and wan:  
As doth a cloth that moths have 〈◊〉▪  
so vain a thing is man.   

verse 13 Lord hear my suit and give good 〈◊〉,  
regard my tears that fall:  
I sojourn like a stranger here,  
as did my fathers all.  
verse 14 O spare a little, give me space  
my strength for to restore:  
Before I go away from hence,  
and shall be seen no more.

verse 10 But then said I behold and look,  
I come a mean to be:  
For in the volume of thy book●,  
thus it is said of me.   

verse 11 That I O God should do thy mind,  
which thing doth like me well:  
For in my heart thy law I find,  
fast placed thereto devil.  
verse 12 Thy justice and thy righteousness,  
in great resorts I tell:  
Behold my tongue no time doth cease,  
O Lord thou knowest full well.   

The second part.  

verse 13 I have not hid within my breast,  
thy goodness as by ●ealth:  
But I declare and have expressed,  
thy truth and saving health.  
verse 14 I kept not close thy loving mind,  
that no man should it know:  
The trust that in thy truth I find,  
to all the Church I show.   

For I wi●● mischiefs many one,  
am sore beset about:  
My sins increase and so come on,  
I cannot spy them out.  
verse 15 For why? in number they exceed▪  
the hears upon my head:  
My heart doth faint for very dread,  
that I almost am dead.

verse 7 They bite their lips and whisper so,  
as though they would me charm:  
And cast their fetches how to trap  
me with some mortal harm.  
verse 8 Some grievous sin hath brought him to▪  
this sickness say they plain:  
He is so low that without doubt,  
rise can he not again.   

verse 9 The man also that I did trust,  
with me did use deceit:  
Who at my table eat my bread,  
the same for me laid wait.  
verse 10 Have mercy Lord on me therefore,  
and let me be preferned:  
That I may tender unto them  
the things they have deserved.   

verse 11 By this I know assuredly,  
to be beloved of thee:  
When that mine enemies have no cause  
to triumph over me.  
verse 12 But in my right thou hast me kep●▪

Deus auribus. psal, xliiii. T. S.  
Our cares have heard our fathers tell and re●e- rently record the wondrous works that thou hast done in alder time (O Lord.) How thou didst cast the Gentiles out, & stroydst them with strong hand: planting our father's in their place, and gavest to them their land.  

verse 3 They conquered not by sword, nor strength  
the land of thy behest,  
But by thy hand, thy arm, and grace,  
because thou lovedst them best.  
verse 4 Thou art my king (O God) that hōlp●  
jacob in sundry wise:  
verse 5 Led with thy power we threw down such  
as did against us rise.   

verse 6 I trusted not in bow, nesword,  
they could not save me sound:  
verse 7 Thou keptst us from our enemy's rage,  
thou didst our foes confounded.  
verse 8 And still we boast of thee our God,  
and praise thy holy name:  
verse 9 Yet now thou go●st not with our ●●st,  
but leavest us to shame.   

verse 10 Thou madest us ●lee before our foes,

Amongst the Heathen every where,

verse 12 Thy people thou hast sold like slaves,

verse 13 And to our neighbour's tho● hast made

And those that round about us devil,

The second part.  

verse 14 Thus we s●r●e for none other use,  
but for a common talk:  
They mock, they scorn, and nod their heads,  
where ever they go or walk.  
verse 15 I am a shamed continually,  
to hear the●e wicked them  
Yea so I blush that all my face,  
with red is covered then.   

verse 16 For why'we hear such, slanderous words,  
such false reports, and lies:  
That death it is to see their wrongs,  
their threatenings and their crves▪  
verse 17 For all this we forget not thee,

verse 18 We turn not back ou● hearts from thee,

verse 25 For down to dust our soul is brought,

MY heart doth take in hand  
some godly song to sing:  
The praise that I shall show therein,  
pertaineth to the king▪  
verse 2 My tongue shallbe as quick▪  
his honour to indite:  
As is the pen of any scribe,  
that useth fast to writ.   

verse 3 O faith rest of all men,  
thy speech is pleasant pure:  
For God hath blessed thee with gifts  
for ever to endure.  
verse 4 About thee gird thy sword,  
O prince of might elect:  
With honour, glory, and renown,  
thy person pure is decked.   

verse 5 Go forth with godly speed,  
in meekness, truth, and right:  
And thy right hand shall thee instruct,  
in works of dreadful might.  
verse 6 Thy arrows sharp and keen,  
their hearts so sore shall sting:  
That solke shall fall and kn●●le to thee,  
yea all thy foes O king.   

verse 7 Thy royal seat, O Lord,  
for ever shall remain:  
Because the sceptre of thy Realm,  
doth righteonsu●s maintain.  
verse 8 Because thou lovest the right,  
and dost the ill detest:  
God even thy God hath anointed thee,  
with joy above the rest.   

verse 9 With myrrh, and favours sweet,  
thy clotheses are all bespread:  
When thou dost from thy palace pass,  
therein to make thee glad.  
verse 10 Kings daughters do attend  
in fine and rich array:  
At thy right hand the Queen doth stand  
in gold, and garments gay.   

The second part.  

verse 11 O daughter take good ●eede,  
enclive and gene good ear:  
Thou must forget thy kindred all,  
and father's house most dear.  
verse 12 Then shall the king desire  
thy beauty fair and trim:  
For why he is the Lord thy God,  
and thou must worship him.   

verse 13 The daughters then of tire,  
with gifts full rich to see:  
And all the wealth of the land,  
shall make their suit to thee.  
verse 14 The daughter of the king,  
is glorious to behold:  
Within his closet she doth sit,  
all decked in beaten gold.   

verse 15 In robes well wrought with needle  
with many a pleasant thing:  
With virgins fair on her to wait,  
she cometh to the king.  
verse 16 Thus are they brought with joy,  
and mirth on every side:  
Into the palace of the king,  
and there do they abide.   

verse 17 In steed of Parents left,  
O Queen the change so stands:  
Thou shalt have sennes whom thou mayest 〈◊〉  
as Princes in all lands.  
verse 18 Wherefore thy holy name,  
all ages shall record:  
The people shall give thanks to thee,

THe Lord is our defence and ay●e,

When we with we are much dismayed,  
he is our help at hand  
verse 2 Though the earth remove, we will not sear,  
though hills so high and steep▪  
Be thrust and hurled here and there,  
within the sea so deep.   

verse 3 Not though the waves do rage so sore,  
that all the baukes it spills▪  
And though it overflow the shore,  
and bea●e down mighty hills.  
verse 4 For one fair flood doth spread abroad,  
his pleasant streams apace:  
To fresh the City of our God,  
and wash his holy place.   

verse 5 In midst of her the Lord doth devil,  
she can no whit decay:  
All things against her that rebel,  
the Lord will truly stay.  
verse 6 The heathens flock, the kingdoms fear,  
the people make a noise:  
The earth doth melt and not appear,  
when God puts forth his voice.   

verse 7 The Lord of hosts doth take our part,  
to us he hath an eye,  
Our hope of health with all our heart,  
on jacob's God doth lie.  
verse 8 Come hear and see, with mind and thought,  
the working of our God:  
What wonders he himself hath wrought,  
throughout the earth abroad.   

verse 9 By him all wars are husnt and gone,  
which countries did conspire:  
Their bow● he broke, and spears each one,  
their charets brent with fire.  
verse 10 Leave of therefore (saith he) and know,

with wonders manifold:  
A mighty king he is truly  
in all the earth extolled.   

verse 3 The people shall he make to be,  
unto our bondage thrall:  
And underneath our feet he shall  
the nations make to fall,  
verse 4 For us the heritage he chose,  
which we possess alone:  
The flowering worship of jacob,  
his well-beloved one.

Magnus Dominus. psal. xlviii. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the xlvi. Psalm.  

GReat is the Lord, and with great praise  
to be advanced still:  
Within the City of our Lord,  
upon his holy hill.  
verse 2 Mount Zion is a pleasant place,  
it gladdeth all the land:  
The City of the mighty king,  
on her North side doth stand.   

verse 3 Within the palaces thereof  
God is a refuge known:  
For lo the kings were gathered, and  
together eke were gone.  
verse 4 But when they did behold it so,  
they wondered, and they were  
Astonished much, and suddenly  
were driven back with fear.   

verse 5 Great terror there on them did fall,  
for very woe they cry:  
As doth a woman, when she shall  
go travail by and by.  
verse 6 As thou with eastern winds the ships,  
upon the Sea dost break:  
So they were stayed, and even as  
we heard our fathers speak:   

verse 7 So in the City of the Lord,  
we saw as it was told:  
Yea in the City which our Lord,  
for ever will uphold.  
verse 8 O Lord we wait and do attend,  
on thy good help and grace:  
For which we do all times attend,  
within thy holy place.   

verse 9 O Lord according to thy name,  
for ever is thy praise:  
And thy right hand, O Lord, is full  
of righteousness always.  
Let, for thy judgements, Zion mount  
fulfilled be with joys:  
And eke of juda grant, O Lord,

verse 10 Go walk about all Zion hill,  
yea round about her go:  
And tell the towers that thereupon  
are builded on a row.  
verse 11 And mark ye well her bulwarks all,  
behold her towers there:  
That ye may tell thereof to them,  
that after shall be hear.   

verse 12 For this God is our God, our God,  
for evermore is he:  
Yea and unto the death also,  
our guider shall he be.    

Audite haec omnes. psal. xlix. T. S.  
Sing this as the xlv. Psalm.  

ALl people hearken, and give ear,  
to that that I shall tell:  
verse 2 Both high and low, both rich and poor  
that in the world do devil.  
verse 3 For why? my mouth shall make discourse  
of many things rightwise:  
In understanding shall my heart,  
his study exercise.   

verse 4 I will incline mine ear to know  
the parable so dark▪  
And open all my doubtful speech,  
in merer on my harp.  
verse 5 Why should I fear afflictions,  
or any careful toil?  
Or else my foes, which at my heels,  
are priest my life to spoil?   

verse 6 For as for such as riches have,  
wherein their trust is most:  
And they which of their treasures great,  
themselves do brag and boast.  
verse 7 There is not one of them that can  
his brother's death redeem:  
Or that can give a price to God  
sufficient for him.   

verse 8 It is to great a price to pay,  
none can thereto attain:  
verse 9 Or that he might his life prolong,  
or not in grave remain.  
verse 10 They see wise men as well as fools  
subject unto death's hands:  
And being dead, stranngers possess  
their goods, their rents, their lands.   

verse 11 Their care is to build houses fair,  
and so determine sure:  
To make their name right great in earth,  
for ever to endure.  
verse 12 Yet shall no man always enjoy  
high honour, wealth, and rest:  
But shall at length taste of death's cup,  
as well as the brute beast.   

The second part.  

verse 13 And though they try their foolish thoughts,  
to be most lewd and vain:  
Their children yet approve their talk,  
and in like sin remain.  
verse 14 As sheep into the fold are brought,  
so shall they into grave:  
Death shall them eat, and in that day  
the just shall Lordship have.   

Their image and their royal port  
shall fade, and quite decay:  
When as from house to pit they pass,  
with woe and weal away.  
verse 15 But God will surely preserve me,  
from death and endless pain▪  
Because he will of his good grace,  
my soul receive again.   

verse 16 If any man wax wondrous rich,  
fear not I say therefore:  
Although the glory of his house,  
increaseth more and more.  
verse 17 For when he dieth, of all these things  
nothing shall he receive:  
His glory will not follow him,  
his pomp will take her learn.   

verse 18 Yet in this life he takes himself  
the happiest under Sun:  
And others likewise slatter him,  
saying all is well done.  
verse 19 And presuppose he live as long  
as did his Father's old:  
Yet must he needs at length give place,  
and be brought to deaths fold.   

verse 20 Thus man to honour God hath called,  
yet doth he not consider:  
But like brute beasts so doth he live,  
which turn to dust and powder.     

Deus Deorum. psal. L. W. W.  
THe mighty God th'eternal hath thus spoke, And all the world he will call and provoke. Even from the East, and so forth to the west. 2. From to- ward Zion which place him liketh best, God will appear in beauty must excellent. 3. Our God will come before that long time be spent.  

Devouring fire  
shall go before his face,  
A great tempest  
shall round about him trace.  
verse 4 Then shall he call  
the earth and heavens bright,  
To judge his folk  
with equity and right,  
verse 5 Saying go to  
and now my Saints assemble,  
My peace they keep,  
their gifts do not dissemble.   

verse 6 The heavens shall:  
declare his righteousness,  
For God is judge  
of all things more and less,  
verse 7 Hear my people  
for I will now reveal:  
List Israel,  
I will thee naught conceal:  
Thy God thy God  
am I, and will not blame thee  
verse 8 For giving no●  
All manner offerings to me.   

verse 9 I have no need  
to take of thee as all  
Goats of thy fold,  
or calf out of thy stall.  
verse 10 For all the beasts  
are mine within the woods:  
On thousand hills,  
cattle are mine own goods.  
verse 11 I know for mine  
all birds that are on mountains,  
All beasts are mine  
which haunt the fields and fountains.   

verse 12 Hungry if I were,  
I would not thee it teil:  
For all is mine  
that in the world doth devil.  
verse 13 Eat I the flesh  
of great Bulls of Bullocks?  
Or drink the blood  
of Goats, and of the flocks?  
verse 14 Offer to God  
praise and hearty thanksgiving,  
And pay thy vows  
unto God everliving.   

verse 15 Call upon me  
when toubled thou shalt be,  
Then will I help,  
and thou shalt honour me.  
verse 16 To the wicked  
thus saith th'eternal God,  
Why dost thou preach  
my laws and hests abroad,  
seeing thou hast  
them with thy mouth abused,  
verse 17 And ●●test to be  
by discipline reformed?   

My words I say  
thou dost reject and hate.  
verse 18 If that thou see  
a thief, as with thy mate  
Thou run'st with him,  
and so your prey do seek:  
And art all one  
with beaudes and ruffians eke.  
verse 19 Thou givest thyself  
to backbite, and to slander,  
And how thy tongue  
deceiveth it is a wonder.   

verse 20 Thou sittest musing  
thy brother how to blame:  
And how to put  
thy mother's son to shame.  
verse 21 These things thou didst;  
and whilst I held my tongue  
Thou didst me judge  
(because I stayed so long)  
Like to thyself:  
yet though I keep long silence,  
once shalt thou feel  
of thy wrongs just recompense.   

verse 22 Consider this,  
ye that forget the Lord,  
And fear not when  
he threateneth with his word,  
Lest without help  
I spoil you as a pray.  
verse 23 But he that thanks  
offereth, praiseth me ay,  
Saith the Lord God:  
and he that walketh this trace,  
I will him teach  
Gods saving health to embrace.    

¶ And other of the same. I H.  
Sing this as the xxv. Psame.  

THe God of Gods, the Lord  
hath called the earth by name:  
From where the sun doth rise,  
unto the setting of the same.  
verse 2 From Zion his fair place,  
his glory bright and clear:  
The perfect beauty of his grace,  
from thence it did appear.   

verse 3 Our God shall come in haste,  
to speak he shall not doubt,  
Before him shall the fire waist,  
and tempest round about.  
verse 4 The heavens from on high,  
the earth below likewise:  
He will call forth to judge and try  
his folk he doth devise.   

verse 5 Bring forth my Saints (saith he)  
my faithful flock so dear:  
Which are in band and league with me,  
my law to love and fear.  
And when these things are tried▪  
the heavens shall record:  
That God is just, and all must bide  
the judgement of the Lord   

verse 7 My people O give heed,  
Israel to thee I cry:  
I am thy God thy help at need,  
thou canst it not deny.  
verse 8 I do not say to thee,  
thy sacrifice is slack:  
Thou offerest daily unto me,  
much more than I do lack.   

verse 9 Thinkest thou that I do need,  
thy cattle young or old?  
Or else so much desire to feed,  
on Goats out of thy fold.  
verse 10 Nay, all the beasts are mine  
in woods that eat their fills:  
And thousands more of neat and kine,  
that run wild in the hills.   

The second part.  

verse 11 The birds that bu●ld on high,  
in hills and out of sight:  
And beasts that in the fields do lie,  
and subject to my might,  
verse 12 Then though I hungered sore,  
what need I aught of thine,  
Sigh that the earth with her great store,  
and all therein is mine?   

verse 13 To Balls flesh have I mind,  
to eat it dost thou think▪  
Or such a sweetness do I find,  
the blond of Goats to drink?  
verse 14 give to the Lord his praise,  
with thanks do him apply:  
And see thou pay thy vows always,  
unto thy God most high.   

verse 15 Then seek and call to me,  
when aught would work thee blame,  
And I will sure deliver thee,  
that thou mayest praise my n●me.

verse 18 Whereas for to 〈◊〉

My word the which thou dost pretend,

The 3 part.  

verse 19 When thou a these dost see

With him thou runnest, and dost agreed  
likewise to thrive by stealth.  
verse 20 When thou dost them behold,  
that wines and maids defile:  
Thou likest it well and waxest bold,  
to use that life most vile.   

verse 21 Thy lips thou dost apply,  
to slander and defame:  
Thy tongue is taught to crafta●d lie,  
and still doth use the same.  
verse 22 Thou studiest to ●euile

With slander thou wouldst needs defile,  
thy mother's so●●e most dear.   

verse 23 Hereat while I do wink,  
as though I did not see:  
Thou goest on still, and so dost think  
that I am like to thee.  
verse 24 But sure I will hot let,  
to strike when, I begin:  
Thy faults in order I will set,  
and open all thy sin.   

verse 25 Mark this I you require,  
that have not God in mind:  
Lest when I plague you in mine ire,  
your help be far to find,  
verse 26 He that doth give to me  
the sacrifice of praise  
Doth please me well, and he shall see  
to walk in godly ways.     

1. Miserere mei. Psal. Lively W. W.  
O Lord consider my distress, and now with speed some pity take: My sins deface my fault 〈◊〉: good Lord, for thy great mercies sake. Wash me (O Lord) and make me clean, from this unjust and sinful act: and pur●●e yet once again, my heinous crime and blondy fact.  

verse 2 Remorse and sorrow do constrain  
me to acknowledge mine excess:  
verse 3 My sin alas doth still remain,  
before my face without release,  
verse 4 I or thee alone I have offended,  
committing evil in thy sight:  
And if I were therefore condemned,  
yet were thy judgements just and right.   

verse 5 It is to manifest alas,  
that first I was conceaned in sin:  
Yea of my mother so borne was,  
and yet vile wretch remain therein.  
verse 6 Also behold Lord thou dost love  
the inward truth of a pure heart:  
Therefore thy wisdom from above,  
thou hast ●encaled me to convert.   

verse 7 If thou with 〈…〉 this blot,  
I shall be cleaner than the glass:  
And if thou wash away my spot,  
the snow in whiteness shall I pass.  
verse 8 Therefore (O Lord) such joy me sand,  
that inwardly I may find grace:  
And that my strength may now amend,  
which thou hast suaged for my trespass.   

verse 9 Turn back thy face and frowning ire,  
for I have felt enough thy hand:  
And purge my sins I thee desire,  
which do in number pass the sand.  
verse 10 Make new my heart within my breast,  
and frame it to thy holy will:  
Thy constant spirit in me let rest,  
which may these raging enemies kill,   

The second part.  

verse 11 Cast me not (Lord) out from thy face,  
but speedily my torments end:  
Take not from me thy spirit and grace,  
which may from dangers me defend.  
verse 12 Restore me to those joys again,  
which I was wont in thee to find:  
And let me thy free spirit retain,  
which unto thee may stir my mind.   

verse 13 Thus when I shall thy mercies know,  
I shall instruct others therein:  
And men likewise that are brought low,  
by mine example shall flee sin.  
verse 14 O God that of my health art Lord,  
forgive me this my bloody vice:  
My heart and tongue shall then accord,  
to sing thy mercies and justice.   

verse 15 Touch thou my lips, my tongue untie,  
O Lord which art the only key:  
And then my mouth shall testify,  
thy wondrous works and praise always.  
verse 16 And as for outward sacrifice,  
I would have offered many one:  
But thou esteemest them of no price,  
and therein pleasure takest thou none.   

verse 17 The heavy heart the mind oppressed,  
(O Lord) thou never docst reject:  
And to speak truth it is the best,  
and of all sacrifice th'effect.  
verse 18 Lord unto Zion turn thy face,  
pour out thy 〈◊〉 on thy hill,  
And on jerusalem thy gra●e:  
build up the walls and love it still.   

verse 19 Thou shalt accept then our offerings,  
of peace and righteousness I say.  
Yea calves and many other things,  
upon thine altar will we lay.     

¶ An other of the same by. T. S.  
Sing this as the Lamentation.  

Have mercy on me God after  
thy great abounding grace:  
After thy mercy's multitude,  
do thou my sins deface.  
Yet wash me more from mine offence,  
and cleanse me from my sin:  
For I beknow my saultes, and still  
my sin is in mine eyen.   

Against thee thee alone I have  
offended in this case:  
And evil have I done before  
the presence of thy face.  
That in the things that thou dost say,  
upright thou mayest be tried▪  
And eke in judging that the doom  
may pass upon thy side.   

Behold in wickedness my kind,  
and shape I did receive:  
And lo my sinful mother eke,  
in sin did me conceive.  
But lo the truth in inward parts,  
is pleasant unto thee:  
And secrets of thy wisdom thou  
revealed haste to me.   

With Isope Lord besprinkle me,  
I shall be cleansed so:  
Yea wash thou me, and so I shall  
be whiter than the snow.  
Of joy and gladness make thou me,  
to hear the pleasing voice:  
That so the bruised bones, which thou  
hast broken, may rejoice.   

From the beholding of my sins,  
Lord turn away thy face:  
And all my deeds of wickedness,  
do utterly deface.  
O God created in me a heart  
unspotted in thy fight:  
And eke within my bowels, Lord,  
renew a stable spirit.   

Ne cast me from thy sight, nor take  
thy holy spirit away:  
The comfort of thy saving help,  
give me again I pray.  
With thy free spirit establish me,  
and I will teach therefore  
Sinners thy ways, and wicked shall  
be turned unto thy lo●e.   

The second part.  

O God that art God of my health,  
from blood deliver me:  
That praises of thy righteousness  
my tongu● may sing to thee.  
My lips that yet fast closed be,  
do thou O Lord unlose:  
The prayers of thy majesty,  
my mouth shall so disclose.   

I would have offered sacrifice,  
if that had pleased thee:  
But pleased with burnt offerings,  
I know thou wilt not be.  
A troubled spirit is sacrifice:  
delightful in God's eyes:  
A broken and an humble heart,  
God thou wilt not despise.   

In thy good will deal gently Lord  
to Zion, and withal  
Grant that of thy jerusalem,  
upreard may be the wall.  
Burned offerings, gifts, and sacrifice,  
of justice in that day  
Thou shalt accept, and Calves they shall  
upon thine altar lay.     

Quid gloriaris. Psal. Lii. I H.  

WHy dost thou tyrant boast abroad,  
thy wicked works to praise?  
Dost thou not know there is a God,  
whose mercies last always?  
verse 2 Why doth thy mind yet still devise  
such wicked wiles to warp:  
Thy tongue untrue in forging lies,  
is like a razor sharp.   

verse 3 On mischief why setst thou thy mind,  
and wilt not walk upright?  
Thou hast more lust false tales to find,  
●hen bring the truth to light▪  
verse 4 Thou dost delight in fraud, and guile,  
in mischief, blood, and wrong▪  
Thy lips have learned the flattering style,  
O false deceitful tongue.   

verse 5 Therefore shall God for ever confounded,  
and pluck thee from thy place:  
Thy seed root out from of the ground,  
and so shall thee deface.  
verse 6 The just when they behold thy fall,  
with fear will praise the Lord:  
And in reproach of thee withal,  
cry out with one accord.   

verse 7 Behold the man that would not take,  
the Lord for his defence:  
But of his goods his God di● make,  
and trust his corrupt sense.  
verse 8 But I an Olive fresh and green  
shall spring and spread abroad:  
For why'my trust all times hath been,  
upon the living God.   

verse 9 For this therefore will I give praise,  
to thee with heart and voice:  
I will set forth thy name always,  
wherein thy Saints rejoice.    

Dixit inspiens. Psal. Liij. T. N.  
Sing this as the xlv. Psalm.  

THe foolish man in that which he  
within his heart hath said:  
That there is any God at all,  
hath utterly denayed.  
They are corrupt, and they also  
a heinous work have wrought:  
Among them all there is not one  
of good that worketh aught.   

The Lord looked down on sons of men,  
from heaven all abroad:  
To see if any were ●hat would  
be wise and seek for God.  
They are g●ne all out of the way,  
they are corrupted all:  
There is not one doth any good,  
there is not one at all:   

Do not all wicked workers know  
that they do feed upon  
My people, as they feed on bread?  
the Lord they call not on.  
Even there they were afraid, and stood  
with trembling all dismayed:  
Where as there was no cause at all  
why they should be afraid.   

For God his bones that thee beseegd  
hath scattered all abroad:  
Thou hast confounded them, for they  
rejected are of God.  
O Lord give thou thy people health,  
and thou, O Lord fulfil  
Thy promise made to Israel,  
from out of Zion hill.   

When God his people shall restore,  
that erst was captive lad:  
Then jacob shall therein rejoice,  
and Israel shall be glad.    

Deus in nomitie. Psal. liv. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the xlvi. Psalm.  

GOd save me fo● thy holy name,  
and for thy goodness sake:  
Unto the strength Lord of the same,  
I do my cause betake.  
verse 2 Regard (O Lord) and give an ear,  
to me when I do pray:  
Bow down thyself to me, and hear  
the words that I do say.   

verse 3 For strangers up against me rise,  
and tyrants vex me still:  
Which have not God before their eyes  
they seek my soul to spill.  
verse 4 But lo my God doth gevenre aid,  
the Lord is strait at hand:  
With them by whom my soul is stayed,  
the Lord doth ever stand.   

verse 5 With plagues repay again all those,  
for me that lie in wait:  
And with thy truth destroy my foes,  
with their own ●●are and bait.  
verse 6 An offering of free heart and will,  
than I to thee shall make:  
And praise thy name, for there in still  
great comfort I do take.   

verse 7 O Lord at length do set me free  
from them that craft coaspire:  
And now mine eye with joy doth see,  
on them my hearts desire▪    

Exaudi Deus. Psal. Lu. I H.  
Sing this as the xxxv. Psalm.  

O God give ear, and do apply  
to hear me when I pray:  
And when to thee I call and ●ry,  
hide not thyself away.  
verse 2 Take heed to me, grant my request,  
and answer me again▪  
With plaints I pray full sore ●pprest,  
great grief doth me constrain.   

verse 3 Because my foes with threats and cryc●,  
oppress me through despite:  
And so the wicked sort likewise,  
to vex me have delight.  
verse 4 For they in counsel do conspire,  
to charge me with some 〈◊〉:  
So in their hasty wrath and ir●,  
they do pursue me shall.   

verse 5 My heart doth saint for want of breath,  
it pants in my breast:  
The terrors and the dread of death,  
do work me much unrest.  
verse 6 Such dreadful fear on me doth fall,  
that I therewith do quake:  
Such hor●●r whelmeth me withal,  
that I no shift can make.   

verse 7 But I do say, who will give me  
the swift and pleasant wings  
Of some fair dove, that I may flee,  
and rest me from these things.  
verse 8 Lot then I would go far away,  
to fly I would not ceafe:  
And I would hide myself, and stay  
in some great wilderness.   

verse 9 I would be gone in all the haste,  
and not abide behind:  
That I were quite and over past,  
these blasts of boisterous wind.  
verse 10 Divide them Lord, and from them pull  
their devilish double tongue:  
For I have spied their City full  
of rapine, strife, and wrong.   

verse 11 Which things, both night and day throughout,  
do close her as a wall:  
In midst of her is mischief stout,  
and sorrow eke withal  
verse 12 Her print parts are wicked plain,  
her deeds are much to vile:  
And in her streets there doth remain  
all crafty fraud, and g●ile.   

The second part.  

verse 13 If that my foes did seek my shame,  
I might it well abide:  
From open enemies check and blame,  
some where l'could me hide.  
verse 14 But thou it was my fellow dear,  
which friendship didst pretend:  
And didst my secret-councell hear,  
as my familiar friend.   

verse 15 With whom I had delight to talk,  
in secret and abroad:  
And we together often did walk,  
within the house 〈…〉  
verse 16 Let death in haste upon them fall,  
and sand them quick to hell,  
For mischief reigneth in their hall,  
and parlour where they devil.   

verse 17 But I unto my God do cry,  
to him for help I flee:  
The Lord doth hear me by and by,  
and he doth succourne.  
verse 18 At morning, noon, and evening tide,  
unto the Lord I pray:  
When I so instantly have cry de,  
he doth not say me nay▪   

verse 19 To peace he shall restore me yet,  
though war be now at hand:  
Although the number he full great,  
that would against me stand.  
verse 20 The Lord that first and last doth reign,  
both now and evermore:  
Will hear when I to him complain,  
and punish them full sore.   

verse 21 For sure there is no hope, that they  
to turn will once accord:  
Foe why, they will not God obey,  
nor do not fear the Lord  
verse 22 Upon their friends they laid their ●andes,  
which were in concnaunt ●u●t:  
Of friendship to neglect the bands,  
they pass or care no whit.   

verse 23 Whilt they have war within their hearts,  
as butter are their words.  
Although their words were smooth as oil,  
they cut as sharp as sword.  
verse 24 Cast thou thy care upon the Lord,  
and he shall nourish thee:  
For in no wise will be accord:  
the just in thrall to see.   

verse 25 But God shall cast them deep in pit,  
that thirst for blo●d always:  
He will no guilcfuli man permit  
to live out half his days.  
verse 26 Though such be quite destroyed, and gone,  
in thee (O Lord) I trust:  
I shall depend thy grace upon,  
with all my heart and lust.     

Miserere mei. Psal. Lvi. T. S.  
Sing this as the Lamentation.  

Have mercy Lord on me I pray,  
for man would me devour:  
He fighteth with me day by day,  
and troubleth me each hour.  
verse 2 Mine enemies daily enterprise,  
to swallow me outright:  
To sight against me many rise,  
O thou most high of might.   

verse 3 When they would make me most afraid,  
with boasts and brags of pride:  
I trust in thee alone for aid,  
by thee will I abide.  
verse 4 Gods promise' I do mind and praise,  
O Lord I stick to thee:  
I do not care at all assays,  
what flesh can do to me.   

verse 5 What things I either did or spoke,  
they wrest them at their will:  
And all the counsel th●● they take,  
is how to work me ill.  
verse 56 The all consent 〈◊〉 selves to hide,  
close watch for me to lay:  
Then spy my paths, and s●ares have tied,  
to take my life away.   

verse 7 Shall they thus scape on mischief set,  
thou God on them wilt frown:  
For in his wrath he doth not let,  
to throw whole: kingdoms down.  
verse 8 Thou seest how often they made me ●ye,  
and on my tears ditst look:  
Reserve them in a glass by thee,  
and wright them in thy book.   

verse 9 When I do call upon thy name,  
my foes away do start:  
I well perceive it by that same,  
that God doth take my part.  
verse 10 I glory in the word of God,  
to praise it I accord:  
With joy I will declare abroad,  
the promise of the Lord   

verse 11 I trust in God and yet I say,  
as I afore began:  
The Lord he is my help and stay,  
I do not care for man.  
verse 12 And will perform with heart so free,  
to God my vows always:  
And I O Lord all times to thee,  
will offer thanks and praise.   

verse 13 My soul from death thou dost defend,  
and keep my fear upright:  
That I before thee may ascend,  
with such as live in light.    

Miserere mei. psal. Lvii I H.  
¶ Sing this as the xliiij. Psalm.  

TAke pity for thy promise sake,  
have mercy Lord on me:  
For why? my soul doth her betake,  
unto the help of thee.  
verse 2 Within the shadow of thy wings,  
I set myself full fast:  
Till mischief, malice, and like things,  
be gone and overpast.   

verse 3 I call upon the God most high,  
to whom I stick and stand:  
I mean the God that will stand by  
the cause I have in hand.  
verse 4 From heaven he hath sent his aid,  
to save me from their spite:  
That to devour me have assayed,  
his mercy, truth, and might.   

verse 5 I led my life with Lions fell,  
all set on wrath and ire:  
And with such wicked men I devil,  
that sreat like flames of fire.  
verse 6 Their teeth are spears and arrows long,  
as sharp as I have seen:  
They wound, and cut with their quick tongue,  
like sword and weapons keen.   

verse 7 Set up and show thyself O God,  
above the heavens bright:  
Exalt thy praise on earth abroad,  
thy maiestre and might.  
verse 8 They lay their net, and do prepare  
a privy cave and pit:  
Wherein they think my soul to snare,  
but they are fallen in it.   

verse 9 My heart is set to laud the Lord,  
in him I joy always:  
My heart I say doth well accord,  
to sing his laud and praise.  
verse 10 Awake my joy, awake I say  
my lute, my ●arpe, and string:  
For I myself before the day,  
will rise, rejoice, and sing.   

verse 11 Among the people I will tell  
the goodness of my God:  
And show his praise that doth excel,  
in Heathen lands abroad▪  
verse 12 His mercy doth extend as sarr●,  
as heavens all art high:  
His truth as high as any star,  
that standeth in the sky.   

verse 13 Set forth and show thyself O God,

YOU ruler's that ●re put in trust,  
to judge of wrong and right:  
Be all your judgements true and just,  
not knowing need or might?  
verse 2 Nay in your hearts ye mark and muse,  
in mischief to consent:  
And where ye should true justice use,  
your hands to bribes are bend.   

verse 3 This wicked sort from their birth day,  
have erred on this wise:  
And from their mother's womb always,  
have used crafts and lies.  
verse 4 In them the poison, and the breath  
of Serpents do appear:  
Yea like the adder that is deaf,  
and fast doth stop his ear.   

verse 5 Because he will not hear the voice  
of one that charmeth well:  
Not though he were the chief of choice,  
and did therein excel.  
verse 6 O God break thou their teeth at once,  
within their mouth throughout.  
The tusks that in their great chaw bones,  
like lions whelps hung out.   

verse 7 Let ●●em consume away and waste,  
as water runs forthright:  
The shafts, that they do shoot in haste,  
let them be broke in slight:  
verse 8 As sn●les do waste within the shell,  
and unto slime do run:  
As one before his time that fell,  
and never saw the Sun.   

verse 9 Before the thorns that now are young  
to bushes big shall grow:  
The storms of anger waxing strong,  
shall take them ere they know.  
verse 10 The just shall joy, it doth them good  
that God doth vengeance take:  
And they shall wash their feet in blood  
of them that thee forsake.   

verse 11 Then shall the world show forth and tell,  
that good men have reward:  
And that a God in earth doth devil,  
that justice doth regard.    

Eripe me. Psal. Lix. I H.  
SEnd aid and save me from my foes, O Lord I pray' to thee: defend and keep me from all those that rise and strive with me. O Lord preserve me from those men whose doings are not good, & set me sure and safe from them that thirsteth after blood.  

verse 3 For lo they wait my soul to take,  
they rage against me still:  
Yea for no fault that I did make,  
I never did them ill.  
verse 4 They run and do themselves prepare,  
when I no whit offend:  
Arise and save me from the snare,  
and see what they intend.   

verse 5 O Lord of hosts of Israel,  
arise and strike all lands:  
And pity none that do rebel,  
and in their mischief stands.  
verse 6 At night they stir and seek about,  
as hounds they howl and grins  
And all the City clean throughout,  
from place to place they re●ne.   

verse 7 They spoke of me with mouth always,  
but in their lips were sword:  
They 'greed my death, and they would say,  
what? none doth hear our words?  
verse 8 But Lord thou ●ast their ways espied  
and laughed thereat apace:  
The heathen folk thou shalt deride,  
and mock them to their face.   

verse 9 The strength that doth my foes withstand,  
(O Lord) doth come of thee:  
My God, he is my help at hand,  
a fort of sense to me.  
verse 10 The Lord to me doth show his grace,  
in great abundance still:  
That I may see my foes in case,  
such as my heart doth william.   

verse 11 Destroy them not at once (O God)  
lest it from mind do fall:  
But with thy strength drive them abroad,  
and so consume them all.  
verse 12 For their ill words, and truthless tongue,  
confounded them in their pride:  
Their wicked oaths with lies and wrong,  
let all the world deride.   

verse 13 Consume them in thy wrath O Lord,  
that naught of them remain:  
That men may know throughout the world,  
that jacob's God doth reign.  
verse 14 At en●ning they return apace:  
as dogs they grin, and cry:  
Throughout the streets, in every place,  
they run about and spy.   

verse 15 They seek about for meat I say,  
but let them not be fed:  
Nor find an house wherein they may,  
be bold to put their head.  
verse 16 But I will show thy strength abroad,  
thy goodness I will praise:  
For thou art my defence and God,  
at need in all assays.   

verse 17 Thou a●t my strength, thou hast m● stayed,

and scatteredst us abroad:  
Such great displeasure thou didst take,  
return to us (O God)  
verse 2 Thy might did move the land so fore,  
that it in sunder brake:  
The hurt thereof (O Lord) restore,  
for it doth bow and quake.   

verse 3 With heavy chance thou plagest thus  
the people that are thine:  
And thou hast given unto us,  
a drink of deadly wine.  
verse 4 But yet to such as fear thy name,  
a token shall ensue:  
That they may triumph in the same,  
because thy word is true,   

verse 5 So that thy might may keep, and 〈◊〉  
thy folk that favour thee:  
That they thy help at band may have,  
O Lord grant this to me.  
verse 6 The Lord did speak from his own place,  
this was his joyful tale:  
I will divide Sichem by pace,  
and meet out Succothes vale.   

verse 7 Gilead is given to my hand,  
Manasses mine beside:  
Ephraim the strength of all my land,  
my law doth juda guide.  
verse 8 In Moab I will wash my feet,  
over Edome throw my shoe:  
And thou Palestine oughtest to seek,  
for favour me unto.   

verse 9 But who will bring me at this tide,  
unto the City strong:  
Or who to Edome will me guide,  
so that I go not wrong?  
verse 10 will thou my God, which didst forsake  
thy folk, their land, and coasts:  
Our wares in hand thou wouldst not take,  
nor walk among our hosts.   

verse 11 Gone aid O Lord and us relieve,  
from them that us disdain:  
The help that hosts of men can give,  
it is but all in vain.  
verse 12 But through our God we shall have might,  
to take great things in hand:  
He will tread down, and put to ●light  
all those that us withstand.

In grief and anguish of my heart  
I cry to thee O God.

Thou art my hope, my fort, and tower,  
my fence against my foes.  
verse 4 Within thy tent I trust to devil,  
for ever to endute:  
Under thy wings I know right well,  
I shall be safe and sure.   

verse 5 The Lord doth my desire regard,  
and doth fulfil the same:  
With godly gifts will he reward,  
all them that flare his name.  
verse 6 The king shall be in health maintain,  
a●d so prolong his days:  
That he from age to age shall reign,  
for evermore always.   

verse 7 That he may have a dwelling place,  
Before the ●ord for ay:  
O let thy mercy truth and grace,  
defend him from decay.  
verse 8 Then shall I sing for ever still,  
with praise unto thy name:  
That all my vows I may fulfil  
and daily pay the same.    

Nun Deo. Psal. Lxii I.H.  
Sing this as the lix. Psalm.  

MY soul to God shall give good heed,  
and him alone intend.  
For why my health and hope to speed,  
doth whole on him depend.  
verse 2 For he alone is my defence,  
my rock●, my health, my aid:  
He is my stay that no pretence  
shall make me much dismayed.   

verse 3 O wicked folk how long will ye  
use craft, sure ye must fall.  
For as a r●tten hedge ye be,  
and like a tottering wall.  
verse 4 Whom God doth love ye seek always,  
to put him to the worse:  
You love to lie, with m●●th ye praise,  
and yet your heart doth curse.   

verse 5 Yet still my soul doth whole depend,  
on God my chief desire:  
From all false feats me to defend,  
none but him I require.  
verse 6 He is my rock my strength, my tower,  
my health is of his grace●  
He doth support me, that no power  
can move me out of place.   

verse 7 God is my glory, and my health,  
my soul's desire, and lust:  
My fort, my strength, my stay, my wealth,  
God is mine only trust.  
verse 8 O have your hope in him always,  
ye folk with one accord:  
Pour out hearts to him, and say,  
o●r trust is in the Lord   

verse 9 The s●nnes of men decitfull are,  
on balance but a sleight:  
Which things most vain do them compare,  
for they can keep no weight.  
verse 10 Trust not in wrong, robbery, or stealth,  
let vain delights be go●e:  
Though goods well got flow in with wealth,  
set not your hearts thereon.   

verse 11 The Lord long sigh one thing did tell,  
which here to mind I call:  
He spoke it often, I heard it well,  
that God alone doth all.  
verse 12 And that thou Lord art good and kind,  
thy mercy doth exceed:  
So that all sorts with thee shall find,  
according to their deed.    

Deus Deus meus. Psal. Lxiii. T.S.  
Sing this as the xliiij. psalm.  

O God my God I watch betime:  
to come to thee in haste:  
For why my soul and body both,  
do thirst of thee to taste.  
And in this barren wilderness,  
where waters there are none:  
My flesh is parched for thought of thee,  
for thee I wish alone.   

verse 2 That I might see yet once again,  
thy glory, strength, and might:  
As I was wont it to behold:  
within the temple bright.  
verse 3 For why? thy mercies far surmount,  
this life and wretched days:  
My lips therefore shall give to thee,  
due honour, laud and praise.   

verse 4 And whi●est I live, I will not fail  
to worship thee always:  
And in thy name I will lift up,  
my hands when I do pray.  
verse 5 My soul is filled as with marrow,  
which is both far and sweet:  
My mouth therefore shall sing such songs,  
as are for thee most meet.   

verse 6 When as in bed I think on thee,  
and eke all the night tide:  
verse 7 For under covert of thy wings,  
thou art my joyful guide.  
verse 8 My soul doth surely stick to thee,  
thy right hand is my power:  
verse 9 And those that seek my soul to stroy,  
them death shall soon● devour.   

verse 10 The sword shall them devoureth one,  
their carcases shall feed  
The hungry Foxes, which do run  
their prey to seek at need.  
verse 11 The king and all men shall rejoice,  
that do profess God's word:  
For liars mouths shall then be stopped,  
which have the truth disturbed.    

Exaudi Deus. Psal. Lxiiii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the xviij. Psalm.  

O Lord unto my voice give care,,  
with plaint when I do pray:  
And rid my soul from dread and tear  
of foes that threat to slay.  
verse 2 Defend me from that sort of men,  
which in deceits do lurk:  
And from the frowning face of them,  
that all ill feats do work.   

verse 3 Who whet their tongues, as we have seen  
men whet and sharp their sword:  
They shoot abroad their arrows keen,  
I mean most bitter words.  
verse 4 With privy sleight shoot they their shaft,  
the upright man to hit:  
The just unware to strike by craft,  
they care or fear no whit.   

verse 5 A wicked work have they decreed,  
in counsel thus they cry:  
To use deceit let us not dread,  
what? who can it espy?  
verse 6 What waye● to hurt they talk and mus●  
all times within their heart:  
They all consult what feats to use,  
each doth invent his part.   

verse 7 But yet all this shall not avail,  
when they think lest upon:  
God with his dart shall sure assail,  
and wound them every one.  
verse 8 Their crafts and their ill tongues withal,  
shall work themselves such blame:  
That they which then behold their fall  
shall wonder at the fame.   

verse 9 Then all that see shall know right well,  
that God the thing hath wrought:  
And praise his witty works, and tell  
what he to pass hath brought.  
verse 10 Yet shall the just in God rejoice,  
still trusting in his might:  
So shall they joy with mind and voice,  
whose heart is pure and right.    

To decet hymnus. Psal. Lxu. I.H.  
Sing this as the thirty. Psalm.  

THy praise alone, O Lord, doth reign  
in Zion, thine owen hill:  
Their vows to thee they do maintain,  
and their behests fulfil.  
verse 2 For that thou dost their prayer hear,  
and dost thereto agreed:  
The people all both far and near,  
with trust shall come to thee.   

verse 3 Our wie●ed life so far exce●des,  
that we should fall therein:  
But Lord forgive our great misdeeds,  
and purg● us from our sin.  
verse 4 The m●n is blest whom thou dost choose,  
within thy court to devil:  
Thy house and temple he shall use,  
with pleasures that excel.   

verse 5 Of thy great justice hear us God,  
our health of thee doth rise:  
The hope of all the earth abroad,  
and the Sea coasts likewise.  
verse 6 With strength thou art beset about,  
and compassed with thy power:  
Thou makest the mountains strong and stout,  
to stand in every shower.   

verse 7 The swelling Seas thou dost assuage,  
and mak● their streams full still:  
Thou dost refrain the people's rage,  
and rule them at thy william.  
verse 8 The 〈◊〉 that 〈◊〉 full far on earth,  
shall dread thy signs to see:  
Which morn and even in great mirth,  
do pass with praise to thee.   

verse 9 When that the earth is chopped and dry,  
●and thirsteth more and more:  
Then with thy drops thou do●st apply,  
a●d much increase her store.  
verse 10 The ●oud of God doth overflow,  
and so doth cause to spring  
The food and corn which men do sow,  
for he doth guide the thing.   

verse 11 With wete thou dost her furrows fill,  
whereby her clouds do fall:  
Thy drops to her thou do 〈◊〉,  
and bless her fruit withal.  
verse 12 Thou deckest the cart● of thy good grace,  
with fair and pleasant crop:  
Thy clouds distill their dew apace,  
great plenty they do drop.   

verse 13 Whereby the desert shall begin,  
full great increase to bring:  
The little hills shall joy therein,  
much fruit in them shall spring.  
verse 14 In places plain the flock shall feed,  
and cover all the earth:  
The valleys with corn shall so exceed,  
that men shall sing for mirth.    

jubilate Deo. Psal. Lxvi. T.S.  
¶ Sing this as the xviij. Psalm.  

YOU men on earth in God rejoice,  
with praise set forth his name:  
Extol his might with heart and voice,  
give glory to the same.  
verse 2 How wonderful, O Lord, say ye,  
in all thy works thou art:  
Thy foes for fear do seek to thee,  
full sore against their ha●t.   

verse 3 All men that devil the earth throughout,  
do praise the name of God:  
The laud thereof the world about,  
is she●●ed and set abroad.  
verse 4 All folk come forth behold and see.  
what things the Lord hath wrought:  
Mark well the wondrous works, that he  
for man to pass hath brought.   

verse 5 He laid the Sea like heaps on high,  
therein a way they had:  
On foot to pass both fair and dry,  
whereof their hearts were glad.  
verse 6 His might doth rule the world always,  
his eyes all things behold:  
All such as would him disobey,  
by him shallbe controlled.   

verse 7 You people give unto our God  
due laud, and thanks always:  
With joyful voice declare abroad,  
and sing unto his praise.  
verse 8 Which doth endue our soul with life,  
and it preserve withal:  
He stayeth our feet, so that no strife  
can make us slip or fall.   

verse 9 The Lord doth prove our deeds with fire,  
if that they will abide:  
As workmen do when they desire,  
to have their metals tried.  
verse 10 Although thou suffer us so long,  
in prison to be cast▪  
And there with chains and fetters strong,  
to lie in bondage fast:   

The second part.  

verse 11 Although I say thou suffer men,  
on us to tide and reign:  
Though we through fire and water ren,  
of very grief and pain.  
verse 12 Yet sure thou dost of thy good grace,  
dispose it to the best:  
And bring us out into a place,  
to live in wealth and rest.   

verse 13 Unto thy house resort will I,  
to offer and to pray:  
And there I will myself apply,  
my vows to thee to pay.  
verse 14 The vows that with my mouth I spoke,  
in all my grief and smart:  
The vows I say which I did make,  
in dolour of my heart.   

verse 15 Burned offering I will give to thee  
of Oxen fat, and Rams:  
Not other sacrifice shallbe  
of Bullocks, Goats, and Lambs.  
verse 16 Come forth and hearken ●ere full soon,  
all ye that fear the Lord,  
What he for my poor soul hath done,  
to you I will record.   

verse 17 Full often I call upon his grace,  
this mouth to him doth cry,  
And thou my tongue make speed apace,  
to praise him by and by.  
verse 18 But if I feel my heart within,  
in wicked works rejoice:  
Or if I have delight to sin,  
God will not hear my voice.   

verse 19 But surely God my voice hath heard,  
and what I do require:  
My prayer he doth well regard,  
and granteth my desire.  
verse 20 All praise to him that hath not put,  
nor cast me out of mind:  
Nor yet his mercy from me shut,  
which I do ever find.     

Deus misereatur. Psal. Lxvii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the thirty. Psalm.  

Have mercy on us, Lord,  
and grant to us thy grace:  
To show to us do thou accord,  
the brightness of thy face.  
verse 2 That all the earth may know,  
the way to godly wealth:  
And all the nations on a row  
may see thy saving health.   

verse 3 Let all the world, O God,  
give praise unto thy name:  
O let the people all abroad,  
extol and laud the same.  
verse 4 Throughout the world so wide,  
let all rejoice with mirth:  
For thou with truth, and right dost guide  
the nations of the earth.   

verse 5 Let all the world, O God,  
give praise unto thy name:  
O let thy people all abroad,  
extol and laud the same.  
verse 6 Then shall the earth increase,  
great store of finite shall fall:  
And then our God, the God of peace,  
shall bless us eke withal.   

God shall us bless, I say,  
and then both far and near,  
The folk throughout the earth always,  
of him shall stand in fear.    

Exurgat Deus. Psal. Lxviii. T.S.  
LEt God arise and then his foes will turn them selves to flight: His enemies then will run abroad, and scatter out of sight. And as the fire doth me it the wax, and wind blow smoke away: so in the presence of the Lord, the wicked shall decay.  

verse 3 But righteous men before the Lord,  
shall heartily rejoice:  
They shall be glad, and merry all,  
and cheerful in their voice.  
verse 4 Sing praise, sing praise unto the Lord,  
who rideth on the sky:  
Extol this name of jah our God,  
and him do magnify.   

verse 5 That same is he that is above,  
within his holy place:  
That father is of fatherless,  
and judge of widows case.  
verse 6 Houses he gives and issue both,  
unto the comfortless:  
He bringeth bondmen out of thrall,  
and rebels to distress.   

verse 7 When thou didst march before thy folk,  
the Egyptians from among:  
And brought them through the wilderness,  
which was both wide and long:  
verse 8 The earth did quake, the rain poured down,  
heard were great claps of thunder:  
The mount Sinai shook in such sort,  
as it would clean in sunder.   

verse 9 Thy heritage with drops ofrayne,  
abundantly was washed:  
And if so be it barren waxed,  
by thee it was refreshed.  
verse 10 Thy chosen flock doth the●e remain,  
thou hast prepared that place:  
And for the poor thou dost prouse,  
of thine especial grace.   

The second part  

verse 11 God will give women causes just,  
to magnify his ●●me:  
When as his people triumphs make,  
and purchase brute and fame.  
verse 12 For puissant kings, for all their power,  
shall flee and take the foil.  
And women which remain at home,  
shall help to part the spoil.   

verse 13 And though you were as black● as pots,  
your hue, should pass the dove:  
Whose wings and feathers seem to hau●  
sil●er and gold above.  
verse 14 When in this land God shall triumphs  
over kings both high and low:  
Then shall it be like Salmon hill,  
as white as any snow.   

verse 15 Though Basan be a fruitful hill,  
and in height others pass?  
Yet Zion Gods most holy hill,  
doth ●●rre excel in grace.  
verse 16 Why brag ye thus ye hills most high,  
and leap 〈◊〉 pr●de together,  
This hill of Zion God doth love  
and there will devil for ever.   

verse 17 Gods army is two millions  
of warrious good and strong:  
The Lord also in Sinai,  
is present them among.  
verse 18 Thou didst O Lord ascend on high,  
and captives led them all▪  
Which in times past thy chosen flock  
in prison kept and thrall.   

Thou ma●est them tribute for to pay,  
and such as did ●●pine  
Thou didst subdue, that they might devil  
in thy temple divine.  
verse 19 Now praised be the Lord for that  
he pours on us ●uch grace:  
From day to day he is the God  
of our health and solace.    

The third part.  

verse 20 He is the God from whom alone,  
salvation cometh plain:  
He is the God by whom we scape  
all dangers, death, and pain.  
verse 21 Thus God will wound his enemy's head,  
and break the hairy scalp  
Of those that in their wickedness,  
continually do walk.   

verse 22 From Basan will I bring (said he)  
my people and my sheep:  
And all mine own as I have done,  
from danger of the deep.  
verse 23 And make them dip their feet in blo●d,  
of those that hate my name:  
And dogs shall have their tongues imbrued,  
with licking of the 〈◊〉,   

verse 24 All men may see how thou (O God)  
thine enemes dost deface:  
And how thou goest as God and king,  
into thy holy place.  
verse 25 The singers go before with joy,  
the minstrels follow after:  
And in the midst the Damsels play  
with Timbrel and with Taber.   

verse 26 Now in the congregation,  
(O Israel praise the Lord)  
And Jacob'S whole posterit●e,  
give thanks with one accord.  
verse 27 Their chief was little Benjamin,  
but juda made their host:  
With Zabulon, and Neptalim,  
which devil about their coast.   

verse 28 As God hath given power to thee,  
〈…〉 make firm and su●e  
The thing that thou hast wrought in us,  
for ever to endure.  
verse 29 And in thy temple gifts will we  
give unto thee (O Lord)  
For thine unto jerusalem  
sure promise' made by word.    

The fourth part.  

Yea and strange kings to us subdued,  
shall do like in those days:  
I mean to thee they shall present,  
their gifts of laud and praise.  
verse 30 He shall destroy the spearemens' ranks,  
these Calves and Bulls of might:  
And 'cause them tribute pay, and daunt  
all such as love to fight.   

verse 31 Then shall the Lords of Egypt come,  
and presents with them bring:  
The Mores most black shall stretch their hands,  
unto their Lord and king.  
verse 32 Therefore ye kingdoms of the earth  
give praise unto the Lord:  
Sing Psalms to God with one consent,  
thereto let all accord.   

verse 33 Who though he ride and ever hath  
above the heavens bright:  
Yet by the fearful thunderclaps,  
men may well know his might.  
verse 34 Therefore the strength of Israel,  
ascribe to God on high:  
Whose might and power doth far extend  
above the cloudy sky.   

verse 35 O God thy holiness and power,  
is dread for evermore:  
The God of Israel give us strength,  
praised be God therefore.     

Saluum me fac. psal. Lxix. I.H.  
Ane me O God and that with speed the wa-ters ters' flow full fast: So nigh my soul do they proceed, that I am ●ore aghast. ● st●cke full deep in filth and clay, where as I feel no ground: I fall into such flondes I say, that I am like be drowned.  

verse 3 With crying often I faint and quail,  
my throat is horse and dry:  
With looking up my fight doth fail,  
for help to God on high.  
verse 4 My foes that guiltless do oppress  
my soul with hate are lead:  
In number sure they are no less,  
than hears are on my head.   

verse 5 Though for no cause they vex me sore,  
they prospero and are glad:  
They do compel me to restore  
the things ●●u●ner had.  
verse 6 What I have done for want of wit,  
thou Lord all ty●●s canst tell:  
And all the same that I commit  
to thee is known full well.   

verse 7 O God of hosts defend, and stay  
all those that trust in thee:  
Let no man doubt or shrink away,  
for aught that chanceth me.  
verse 8 It is for thee and for thy sake,  
that I do bear this blame:  
In spite of thee they would me make,  
to hide my face for shame.   

verse 9 My mother's sons, my brethren all,  
forsake me on a row:  
And as a stranger they me call,  
my face they will no● know.  
verse 10 Unto thy house such zeal I bear,  
that it doth pine me much:  
Their checks and taunts at thee to hear,  
my very heart doth grudge.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Though I do fast my flesh to chaste,  
yea if I weep and moon:  
Yet in my teeth this gear is cast,  
they pass not thereupon.  
verse 12 If I for grief and pain of heart,  
in sack cloth use to walk:  
Then they anon will it pervert,  
thereof they jest and talk.   

verse 13 Both high and low, and all the throng  
that sit within the gate:  
They have me ever in their tongue,  
of me they talk and prate.  
verse 14 The drunkards▪ which in wine delight,  
it is their chief pastime:  
To seek which way to work me spite,  
of me they sing and rhyme.   

verse 15 But thee the while (O Lord) I pray,  
that when it pleaseth thee:  
For thy great truth thou wilt always,  
sand down thine aid to me.  
verse 16 Pluck thou my feet out of the mire,  
from drowning do me keep:  
From such as own me wrath, and ire,  
and from the waters deep.   

verse 17 Lest with the waves I should be drowned,  
and depth my soul devour:  
And that the pit should me confounded,  
and shut me in her power.  
verse 18 O Lord of hosts to me give ear,  
as thou art good and kind:  
And as thy mercy is most dear,  
Lord have me in thy mind.   

verse 19 And do not from thy servant hide,  
nor turn thy face away:  
I am oppressed on every side,  
in haste give ear I say.  
verse 20 O Lord unto my soul draw nigh,  
the same with aid repose?  
Because of their great tyranny,  
acquit m● from ray foes.    

The third part.  

verse 21 That I abide rebuke and shame,  
thou knowest and thou canst tell:  
For those that seek and work the same,  
thou seest them all full well.  
verse 22 When the● with 〈◊〉 do breaks my heart,  
I seek for help anon▪  
But find no friends to ease my smart,  
to comfort me, not one.   

verse 23 Butt in my meat they gave me gall,  
to cruel for to think:  
And gave me in my thirst withal,  
strong vinegar to drink:  
verse 24 Lord turn their table to a snare,  
to take themselves therein:  
And when they think full well to far,  
then trap them in the gin.   

verse 25 And let their eyes be dark and blind,  
that they may nothing see:  
Bow down their back and do them bind,  
in thraldom for to be.  
verse 26 Po●re out thy wrath as hot as fire,  
that it on them may fall:  
Let thy displeasure in thine ire,  
take hold upon them all.   

As desert dry their house disgrace,  
their offering eke expel:  
verse 27 That none thereof possess their place,  
nor in their tents do devil.  
If thou dost strike the man to tame,  
on him they lay full sore:  
verse 28 And if that thou do wound the same,  
they seek to hurt him more.   

Then let them heap up mischief still,  
sith they are all pervert:  
verse 29 That of thy favour and good will,  
they never have a part.  
verse 30 And dash them clean out of the book  
of life, of hope, of trust:  
That for their names they never look  
in number of the just.    

The fourth part.  

verse 31 Though I (O Lord) with woe and grief,  
have been full sore oppressed:  
Thy help shall give me such relief,  
that all shall be redressed.  
verse 32 That I may ge●e thy name the praise,  
and show it with a song:  
I will extol the same always,  
with hearty thanks among.   

verse 35 Which is more pleasant unto thee,  
(such mind thy grace hath borne:)  
Then either Ox, or Calf can be,  
that hath both ●oo●e and horn.  
verse 34 When simple folk do this behold,  
it shall rejoice them s●re:  
All ye that seek the Lord, behold,  
your life for ay shall dure.   

verse 35 For why? the Lord of hosts doth hear  
the poor when they complain:  
His prisoners are to him full dear,  
he doth them not disdain.  
verse 36 Wherefore the sky and earth below,  
the Sea with flood and stream:  
His praise they shall declare and show,  
with all that live in them.   

verse 37 For sure out God will Zion save,  
and judaes' Cities build:  
verse 38 Much folk possession there shall have,  
her streets shall all be filled.  
His servants seed shall keep the same,  
all ages out of mind:  
verse 39 And there all they that love his name,  
a dwelling place shall find.     

Deus in adiutorium. psal. Lxx. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxij. Psalm.  

O God to me take heed,  
of help I thee require:  
(O Lord) 〈◊〉 h●stes with ●ast and speed,  
help, help, I thee desire.  
verse 2 With shame confounded them all,  
that seek my soul to spill:  
Rebuke them back with bl●me to fall,  
that think and wish me ill.   

verse 3 Confounded them that apply,  
and seek to work me shame:  
And at my harm do laugh and cry,  
so so, there goeth the game.  
verse 4 But let them ●oyfull be  
in thee with joy and wealth:  
Which only trust and seek to thee,  
and to thy saving health.   

verse 5 That they may say always,  
in mirth and one accord:  
All glory▪ honour▪ la●d, and praise,  
be given to thee (O Lord.)  
verse 6 But I am weak, and poor,  
come Lord thine aid I lack:  
Thou art my stay and help, therefore  
make speed, and be not slack.    

In te Domine. psal. Lxxi. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the Lxix. Psalm.  

MY Lord▪ my God in all d●stres  
my hope is whole in thee:  
Then let no 〈◊〉 my soul oppress,  
nor once take hold on me.  
verse 2 As thou 〈◊〉 ●ust defend me Lord,  
and rid me out of ●reede:  
give care, and to my suit accord,  
and sand me help at need.   

verse 3 Be thou my rock to whom I may  
for aid, all times resort:  
Thy promise is to help always,  
thou art my sense and fort.  
verse 4 Sa●e me my God from wicked men,  
and from their strength and power:  
From folk unjust, and eke from them  
that cruelly 〈◊〉.   

verse 5 Thou art the stay wherein I trust,  
thou Lord of hosts art he:  
Ye● from my youth I hast a lust,  
still to depend on thee.  
verse 6 Thou hast me kept even from my girth,  
and I through thee was borne:  
Wherefore I will thee praise with mirth,  
both evening and morn.   

verse 7 As to a monster seldom seen,  
much folk about me throng:  
But thou art now, and still hast been  
my fence, and aid so strong.  
verse 8 Wherefore my mouth no time shall lack●  
thy glory and thy praise:  
And eke my tongue shall not be slack,  
to honour thee always.   

verse 9 Refuse not me (O Lord) I say,  
when age my 〈◊〉 doth take:  
And when my strength doth waste away,  
do not my soul forsake.  
verse 10 Among themselves they do inquire  
to take me through deceit  
And they against me do conspire,  
that for my soul laid wait.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Lay ha●d and take him now (they said)  
for God from him is gone:  
Dispatch him quite, for to his aid,  
I wis there cometh none.  
verse 12 Do not absent thyself away,  
(O Lord) when need shallbe:  
But that in time of grief thou may,  
in haste give help to me.   

verse 13 With shame confounded, and overthrow  
all those that seek my life:  
Oppress them with rebukes also,  
that fain would work me strife.  
verse 14 But I will patiently abide  
thy help in all assays:  
Still more and more each time and tide,  
I will set forth thy praise.   

verse 15 My mouth thy justice shall record,  
that daily help doth sand:  
But of thy benefit (O Lord)  
I know no count no● end.  
verse 16 Yet will I go and seek forth one,  
with thy good help (O God)  
The saving health of thee alone,  
to show and set abroad.   

verse 17 For of my youth thou tookest the care,  
and dost instruct me still:  
Therefore thy wonders to declare,  
I have great mind and will  
verse 18 And as in youth from wanton rage,  
thou didst me keep and stay:  
Forsake me not unto mine age,  
and till my head be g●●y.   

verse 19 That I thy strength and might may show,  
to them that now be here:  
And that our seed thy power may know,  
hereafter many a year.  
verse 20 O Lord thy justice doth exceed  
thy doings, all may see:  
Thy works are wonderful in deed,  
o who is like to thee?   

verse 21 Thou madest me feel afflictions sore,  
and yet thou didst me save:  
Yea thou didst help and me restore,  
and tookest me from the grave.  
verse 22 And thou mine honour dost increase,  
my dignity maintain:  
Yea, thou dost make all grief to cease,  
and comfortst me again.   

verse 23 Therefore thy faithfulness to praise,  
I will both l●●e and sing?  
My heart shall sound thy laud always,  
(O Israel's holy king.)  
verse 24 My mouth will joy with pleasant voice,  
when I shall sing to thee:  
And eke my soul will much rejoice,  
for thou hast made me free.   

verse 25 My tongue thy uprightness shall sound,  
and speak it daily still:  
For grief and shame do them confounded,  
that sought to work me ill.     

Deus judicium. Psal. Lxxii. I.H.  
LOrd give thy judgements to the king therein instruct him well, And with his son that Princely thing, Lord let thy justice devil. That he may go- verne uprightly, & rule thy folk aright, And so de- fend through equity, the poor that ha' we no might  

verse 3 And let the mountains that are high,  
unto their folk give peace:  
And the let little hills apply,  
in virtue to increase.  
verse 4 That he may help the weak and poor  
with aid, and make them strong:  
And eke destroy for evermore,  
all those that do them wrong.   

verse 5 And then from age to age shall they,  
regard and fear thy might:  
So long as Sun doth shine by day,  
or else the Moon by night.  
verse 6 Lord make the king unto the just,  
like rain to fields new mown:  
And like to drops that lay the dust,  
and fresh the land ●nsowne.   

verse 7 The just shall flourish in his time,  
and all shallbe at peace:  
Until the Moon shall leave to prime,  
●ast, change, and to increase.  
verse 8 He shallbe Lord of Sea and land,  
from shore to shore throughout,  
And from the floods within the land,  
through all the earth about.   

verse 9 The people that in desert devil,  
shall kneel to him full thick:  
And all his enemies that rebel,  
the earth, and dust shall lick.  
verse 10 Their Lords of all the Isles thereby,  
great gifts to him shall bring:  
The kings of Sabe, and Arabia,  
give many a costly thing.   

The second part.  

verse 11 All kings shall seek with one accord,  
in his good grace to stand:  
And all the people of the world,  
shall serve him at his hand.  
verse 12 For he the needy sort doth save,  
that unto him do call:  
And eke the simple folk that have  
no help of man at all.   

verse 13 He taketh pity on the poor,  
that are with need oppressed:  
He doth preserve them evermore,  
and bring their souls to rest.  
verse 14 He shall redeem their life from dread,  
from fraud, from wrong, from might,  
And eke the blood that they shall bleed,  
is precious in his sight.   

verse 15 But he shall live, and they shall bring  
to him of Saba●s gold:  
He shall be honoured as a king,  
and daily be extolled.  
verse 16 The mighty mountains of his land,  
of corn shall ●eare such throng:  
That it like Cedar trees shall stand,  
in Libanus full long.   

verse 17 Their Cities eke full well shall speed,  
the fruits thereof shall pass:  
In plenty it shall far exceed,  
and spring as green as grass.  
verse 18 For ever they shall praise his name,  
while that the Sun is light:  
And think them happy through the same,  
all folk shall bless his might.   

verse 19 Praise ye the Lord of hosts, and sing  
to Israel's God each one:  
For he doth every wondrous thing,  
yea he himself alone.  
verse 20 And blessed be his holy name,  
all times eternally,  
That all the earth may praise the same,  
Amen, Amen, say I     

Quàm bonus Deus. psal. Lxxiii. T.S.  
¶ Sing this as the xliiij. Psalm.  

HOw ever it be yet God is good,  
and kind to Israel:  
And to all such as safely keep,  
their conscience pure and well.  
verse 2 Yet like a fool I almost slipped,  
my feet began to slide▪  
And or I witted even at a pinch,  
my steps away 'gan glide.   

verse 3 For when I saw such foolish men,  
I grudgd and did disdain:  
That wicked men all things should have,  
without turmoil or pain.  
verse 4 They never suffer pangs nor grief,  
as if death should them smite:  
Their bodies are both stout and strong,  
and ever in good plight:   

verse 5 And free from all adversity,  
when other men be shent:  
And with the rest they take no part  
of plague or punishment.  
verse 6 Therefore presumption doth embrace  
their necks as doth a chain:  
And are even wrapped as in a rob,  
with rapine and disdain.   

verse 7 They are so fed, that even for fat  
their eyes often times out start:  
And as for worldly goods, they have  
more than can wish their heart.  
verse 8 Their life is most licentious,  
boasting much of their wrong:  
Which they have done to simple men,  
and ever pride among.   

verse 9 The heavens and the living Lord,  
they spare not to blaspheme:  
And prate they do on worldly things,  
no wight they do esteem.  
verse 10 The people of God often times turn back,  
to see their prosperous state:  
And almost drink the self same cup,  
and follow the same rate.   

The second part.  

verse 11 How can it be that God (say they)  
should know and understand  
These worldly things, since wicked men  
be Lords of Sea and land.  
verse 12 〈◊〉 may see how wicked men,  
in riches still increase:  
Rewarded well with worldly goods,  
and li●e in rest and peace.   

verse 13 Then why do I from wickedness,  
my fantasy refrain:  
And wash my hands with innocentes,  
and cleanse my heart in vain.  
verse 14 And suffer scourges every day,  
as subject to all blame:  
And every morning from my youth,  
sustain rebuke and shame.   

verse 15 And I had almost said as they,  
misliking mine estate:  
But that I should thy children judge,  
as folk unfortunate.  
verse 16 Then I bethought me how I might,  
this matter understand:  
But yet the labour was to great,  
for me to take in hand.   

verse 17 Until the time I went into  
thy holy place, and then  
I understood right perfectly,  
the end of all these men.  
verse 18 And namely how thou 〈◊〉 the●,  
upon a slippery place:  
And at thy pleasure and thy will,  
thou dost them all deface.   

verse 19 Then all men muse at that strange fight,  
to see how suddenly  
They are destroyed, dispatched, consumed,  
and dead so horribly.  
verse 20 Much like a dream when one awakes,  
so shall their wealth decay.  
Their famous names in all men's fight,  
shall ebb and pass away.    

The third part.  

verse 21 Yet thus my heart was grieved then,  
my m●nde was much oppressed:  
verse 22 So fond was I and ignorant,  
and in this point a beast.  
verse 23 Yet nevertheless by thy right hand,  
thou hold'st me always fast:  
verse 24 And with thy counsel dost me guide,  
to glory at the last.   

verse 25 What thing is there that I can wish,  
but thee in heaven above:  
And in the earth there is nothing,  
like thee that I can love.  
verse 26 My flesh and eke my heart doth fail,  
but God doth fail me never:  
For of my heart God is the strength,  
my portion eke for ever.   

verse 27 And lo all such as thee forsake,  
thou shalt destroy ●●h one:  
And those that trust in any thing,  
saving in thee alone.  
verse 28 Therefore will I draw near to God,  
and e●er with him devil:  
In God alone I put my trust,  
thy wonders 〈◊〉 I tell.     

ut quid Deus. psal. Lxxiiii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxii. Psalm.  

WHy art thou Lord so long from us,  
in all this danger deep?  
Why doth thine anger kindle thus,  
at thine own pasture sheep?  
verse 2 Lord call the people to thy thought,  
which have e'en thine so long:  
The which thou hast redeemed and brought  
from bondage sore and strong.   

verse 3 Ha●e mind I say and think upon,  
remember it full well:  
Thy pleasant place thy mount Zion,  
where thou wast wont to devil.  
verse 4 Lift up thy foot and come in haste,  
and all thy foes deface▪  
Which now at pleasure rob and waist,  
within thy holy place   

verse 5 Amid thy congregations all,  
thine enemies roar (O God)  
They set as signs on every wall,  
their banners splayed abroad.  
verse 6 As men with axes h●w the trees,  
that on the hills do gro●:  
So shine the bills and sword of these,  
within thy Temple now.   

verse 7 The se●lyng sawed, the earned ●ordes,  
the goodly graven stones:  
With axes, hammers, bills, and sworde●▪  
they beat them down at once.  
verse 8 Thy places they consume with flame,  
and eke in all this toil:  
The house appointed to thy name,  
they raze down to the ●oyle.   

verse 9 And this they said within their heart,  
dispatch them out of hand:  
Then burned ●hey up in every part,  
God's houses through the land.  
verse 10 Yet thou no sign of help dost sand,  
our Prophets all are gone:  
To tell when this our plague should end,  
among us there is none.   

verse 11 When wilt thou Lord once end this shame  
and cease thine enemies strong?  
Shall they always blaspheme thy name,  
and rail o● thee so long?  
verse 12 Why dost withdraw thy hand aback,  
and hide it in thy lap?  
O pluck it out▪ and be not slack  
to give thy foes a rap.   

The second part.  

verse 13 O God thou art my king and Lord,  
and evermore hast been:  
Yea thy good grace throughout the world,  
for our good help hath seen.  
verse 14 The seas that are so deep and dead,  
thy might did make them dry:  
And thou didst break the Serpent's head,  
that he therein did die.   

verse 15 Yea thou didst break the heads so great,  
of Whales that are so fell:  
And gavest them to the folk to eat,  
that i● the desert●● devil▪  
verse 16 Thou makest a spring with streams to rise  
from rock both hard and high:  
And eke thy ●and hath make likewise,  
deep rivers to be dry.   

verse 17 Both day and eke the night are thine,  
by thee they were begun:  
Thou settest to serve us with their shine  
the light, and eke the sun.  
verse 18 Thou dost appoint the ends and coaste●,  
of all the earth about:  
Both summer heats, and winter frosts,  
thy hand hath found them out.   

verse 19 Think on (O Lord) no time forget,  
thy foes that thee defame:  
And how the foolish folk are set  
to rail upon thy name.  
verse 20 O let no cruel beast devour,  
thy turtle that is true▪  
Forget not always in thy power,  
the poor that much do rue.   

verse 21 Regard thy covenant, and behold,  
thy foes possess the land▪  
All sad, and dark forworne, and old,  
our Realm as now doth stand.  
verse 22 Let not the simple go away,  
with disappointed shame:  
But let the poor and needy ●ye,  
give praise unto thy name.   

verse 23 Rise Lord let be by thee maintained,  
the cause that is thine own:  
Remember how that thou blasphemd  
art by the foolish one.  
verse 34 The voice forget not of my foes:  
for the presuming high▪  
Is more and more increased of those,  
that hate then spitefully.     

Con●●tebimur tibi. psal. Lxxu. N.  
¶ Sing this as the xliiii. Psalm.  

Unto thee God we will give thanks,  
we will give thanks to thee:  
Sigh thy name is so near, declare  
thy wondrous works will we.  
verse 2 I will uprightly judge, when get  
conne●icut time I may:  
The earth is weak, and all therein,  
but I ●er pillars stay.   

verse 3 I did to the made people say,  
deal● not so furiously:  
And unto the ungodly ones,  
set not your horns so high.  
verse 4 I said unto them set not up  
your raised horns on high:  
And see that ye do with stiff neck,  
not speak 〈…〉.   

verse 5 For neither from the eastern part●●,  
not from the western side:  
Nor from forsaken wilderness,  
protection doth proceed●.  
verse 6 For why? the Lord our God he is,  
the righteous judge alone:  
He putteth down, the one, and set▪  
an other in the throne.   

verse 7 For why a cup of mighty 〈◊〉,

And all the mighty wi●● therein,

verse 8 As for the lees and filthy dregs,

And will not cease to celebrated,

TO all that now in jewry dwel●

His name is great in Israel,

verse 2 A● Salem he his tents hath pight,

In Zion eke he doth delight:  
to make his dwelling place.   

verse 3 And there he break bo●● shaft and bow,

And broke the ray● to overthrow,  
in battle on the field.  
verse 4 Thou art more worthy honour Lord,  
more might in thee doth lie:  
Then in the strongest of the world,  
that rob on mountains high.   

verse 5 But now the proud are spoiled through thee  
and they are fallen on sleep:  
Through men of war no help can be,  
themselves they could not keep.  
verse 6 At thy rebuke (O jacob's God)  
when thou dost them reprove:  
As half in sleep their charets stood,  
no horsemen once did mo●●.   

verse 7 For thou are fearful Lord in deed,  
what man the courage hath  
To bide thy fight, and doth not dread  
when thou art in thy wrath.  
verse 8 When thou dost make thy judgements hard▪  
from heaven through the ground:  
Then all the earth full sore afeard,

Voce mea. psal. Lxxvii. I H.  
I With my voice to God do cry, with heart and hearty cheer: my voice to God I lift on high, and he my suit doth hear. In time of grief I sought to God, by night no rest I took: But strctcht my hands to him abroad, my soul comfort forsook.  

verse 3 When I to think on God intend,  
my trouble then is more:  
I spoke, but could not make an end,  
my breath was stopped so sore.  
verse 4 Thou hold'st mine eyes always from rest,  
that I always awake:  
With fear am I so sore oppressed,  
my speech doth me forsake.   

verse 5 The days of old in mind I cast,  
and often did think upon  
The times and ages that are past,  
full many years agone.  
verse 6 By night my songs I call to mind,  
once made thy praise to thew:  
And with my heart much talk I find,  
my spirits do s●arch to know.   

verse 7 Will God (said I) at once for all,  
cast of his people thus?  
So that hence forth no time he shall,  
be friendly unto us?  
verse 8 What is his goodness clean decayed,  
for ever and a day?  
Or is his promise now delayed,  
and doth his truth decay?   

verse 9 And will the Lord our God forget  
his mercies manifold?  
Or shall his wrath increase so hot,  
his mercy to withhold?  
verse 10 At last I said my weakness is,  
the cause of this mistrust:  
Gods mighty hand can help all this,  
and change it when he lust.   

The second part.  

verse 11 I will regard and think upon  
the working of the Lord:  
Of all his wonders past and gone,  
I gladly will record.  
verse 12 Yea all his works I will declare,  
and what he doth devise:  
To ●ell his facts I will not spare,  
and eke his counsel wise.   

verse 13 Thy works (O Lord) are all upright.  
and holy all abroad:  
What one hath strength to match the might,  
of thee our Lord our God?  
verse 14 Thou art a God that often dost show,  
thy wonders every hour:  
And so dost make the people know,  
thy virtue and thy power.   

verse 15 And thine own folk thou didst defend,  
with strength and stretched arm:  
The sons of jacob that descend,  
and joseph's seed from harm.  
verse 16 The waters (Lord) perceived thee,  
the waters saw thee well:  
And they for fear aside did flee.  
the depths on trembling cell.   

verse 17 The clouds that were both thick and black,  
did rain full plenteously:  
The thunder in the air did crack.  
thy shafts abroad did fly.  
verse 18 Thy thunder in the fire was heard,  
the lightning from above:  
With flashes great, made men afeard,  
the earth did quake and move.   

verse 19 Thy ways within the Sea do lie,  
thy paths in waters deep:  
Yet none can there thy steps espy,  
nor know thy path to keep.  
verse 20 Thou lead'st thy folk upon the land,  
as theepe on every side:  
Through Moses and through Aaron's hand,  
thou didst them safely guide.     

Attendite populi. Psal. Lxxviii. T. S.  
ATtend my people to my law, and to my words incline: my mouth shall speak strange parables, and sentences divine. Which we ourselves have heard and learned even of our father's old, and which for our instruction our fathers have us told.  

verse 4 Because we should not keep it close,  
from them that should come after:  
Who should Gods power to their race praise,  
and all his works of wonder.  
verse 5 To jacob he commandment gave,  
how Israel should live:  
Willing our fathers should the same,  
unto their children give.   

verse 6 That they and their post eritie,  
that were not sprung up thee:  
Should have the knowledge of the law,  
and teach their seed also.  
verse 7 That they may have the better hope,  
in God that is above:  
And not forget to keep his laws,  
and his precepts in love.   

verse 8 Not being as the●● fathers were,  
rebelling in God's sight:  
And would not frame their wicked hearts,  
to know their God aright.  
verse 9 How went the people of Ephraim,  
their neighbours for to spoil:  
Shooting their darts the day of war,  
and yet they took the foil?   

verse 10 For why ' they did not keep with God,  
the covenant that was made:  
Nor yet would walk or lead their lives,  
according to his trade.  
verse 11 But put into oblivion  
his counsel, and his will:  
And all his works most magnific,  
which he declareth still.   

The second part.  

verse 12 What wonders to our forefathers,  
did he himself disclose:  
In Egypt land within the field,  
that called is ●hancos.  
verse 13 He did divide and cut the Sea,  
that they might pass at once:  
And made the waters stand as still  
as doth an heap of stones.   

verse 14 He ●ed them secret in a cloud,  
by day when it was bright:  
And in the night when dark it was,  
with fire he gave them light.  
verse 15 He broke the rocks in wilderness,  
and gave the people drink:  
As plentiful as when the deeps:  
do flow up to the brink.   

verse 16 He drew out rivers out of rocks,  
that were both dry and hard,  
Of such abundance, that no floods  
to them might be compared.  
verse 17 Yet for all this against the Lord,  
their sin they did increase:  
And stirred him that is most high  
to wrath in wilderness.   

verse 18 They tempted him within their hearts,  
like people of mistrust:  
Requiring such a kind of meat,  
as screwed to their lust.  
verse 19 Saying with murmuration,  
in their unfaithfulness:  
What? can this God prepare for us  
a feast in wilderness?   

verse 20 Behold he struck the stony rock,  
and floods forthwith did flow:  
But can he now gene to his folk,  
both bread and flesh also?  
verse 21 When God heard this he waxed wroth  
with jacob and his seed:  
So did his indignation,  
on Israel proceed.    

The third part.  

verse 22 Because they did not faithfully,  
believe, and hope that he  
Can alwa●es help and secure them,  
in their necessity.  
verse 23 Wherefore he did command the clouds,  
forthwith they broke in sunder:  
verse 24 And reigned down ●anna for them to eat,  
a food of much wonder.   

verse 25 When earthly men with angels food,  
were fed 〈◊〉 their request:  
verse 26 He bade the East wind blow away,  
and brought in the south-west.  
verse 27 And reigned down flesh as thick as dust,  
and foul as thick ●a sand:  
verse 28 Which he did cast amid the place,  
where all the tents did stand.   

verse 29 Then did they eat exceedingly,  
and all men had their filles:  
Yet more and more they did desire,  
to screw their lusts and wills.  
verse 30 But as the meat was in their months,  
his wrath upon them fell:  
verse 31 And slew the flower of all their youth,  
and choice of Israel.   

verse 32 Yet fell they to their wonted sin,  
and still they did him green:  
For all the wonders that he wrongli●,  
they would him not believe.  
verse 33 Their days therefore he shortened,  
and made their honour vain:  
Their years did waste and pass away,  
with terrors and with pain.   

verse 34 But ever when he plagued them,  
they sought him by and by:  
verse 35 Remembering then he was their strength,  
their help, and God most high.  
verse 36 Though in their mouths they did but gloze,  
and flatter with the Lord:  
And with their tog●es, and in their hearts,  
dissembled every word.    

The forth part.  

verse 37 For why? their hearts were nothing ben●,  
to him nor to his trade:  
Nor yet to keep or to perform,  
the covenant that was made.  
verse 38 Yet was he still so merciful,  
when they deserved to die:  
That he forgave them their misdeeds,  
and would not them destroy.   

Yea many a time he turned his wrath,  
and did himself advise:  
And would not suffer all his whole  
displeasure to arise.  
verse 39 Considering that they were but flesh,  
and even as a wind  
That passeth away, and can not well  
return by his own kind.   

verse 40 How oftentimes in wilderness,  
did they their Lord provoke?  
How did they move and stir the Lord,  
to plague them with his stroke?  
verse 41 Yet did they turn again to sin,  
and tempted God eft son:  
Prescribing to their holy Lord,  
what things they would have done.   

verse 42 Not thinking of his hand and power,  
nor of the day when he  
Delivered them out of the bonds  
of the fierce enemy.  
verse 43 Nor how he wrought his miracles,  
(as they themselves beheld)  
In Egigpt, and the wonders that  
he did in Zoan field.   

verse 44 Nor how he turned by his power,  
their waters into blood:  
That no man might receive his drink,  
at river nor at flood.  
verse 45 Nor how he sent them swarms of flies,  
which did them sore annoyed:  
And filled their country's full of frogs,  
which should their land destroy.    

The fift part.  

verse 46 Not how he did commit their fruit,  
unto the Caterpillar:  
And all the labour of their hands,  
he gave to the Grasshopper.  
verse 47 With hailstones he destroyed their vines,  
so that they were all lost:  
And not so much as wild fig trees,  
but he consumed with frost.   

verse 48 And yet with hailstones once again,  
the Lord their cattle smote:  
And all their flocks and herds likewise,  
with thunder bolts full hot.  
verse 49 He cast upon them in his ire,  
and in his fury strong:  
Displeasure, wrath, and evil spirits,  
to trouble them among.   

verse 50 Then to his wrath he made a way,  
and spared not the lest:  
But gave unto the pestilence  
the man and eke the beast.  
verse 51 He struck also the first borne all  
that up in Egypt came:  
And all the chief of men, and beasts,  
within the tents of ●am.   

verse 52 But as for all his own dear folk,  
he did preserve and keep:  
And carried them to wilderness,  
even like a flock of sheep.  
verse 53 Without all fear both safe and sound,  
he brought them out of thrall:  
Whereas their focs with rage of Sea  
were overwhelmed all.   

verse 54 And brought them out into the coasts,  
of his own holy land:  
Even to the mount which he had got,  
by his strong arm and hand.  
verse 55 and there cast out the heathen folk,  
and did their land divide:  
And in their tents he set the Tribes  
of Israel to abide.   

verse 56 Yet for all this their God most high,  
they stirred and tempted still:  
And would not keep his testament,  
nor yet obey his william.  
verse 57 Butt as their fathers turned back,  
even so they went astray:  
Much like a how that will not bend,  
but stip, and start away.    

The sixth part.  

verse 58 And grieved them with their hill altar's,  
with offerings, and with fire:  
And with their Idols vehemently  
provoked him to ire.  
verse 59 Therewith his wrath began again,  
to kindle in his breast:  
The nanghtynes of Israel,  
he did so much detest.   

verse 60 Then he forsook their tabernacle,  
of S●lo where he was:  
Right conversunt with earthly men,  
even as his dwelling place.  
verse 61 Then suffered he his might and power  
in bondage for to stand:  
And gave the honour of his ark,  
into his enemy's hand.   

verse 62 And did commit them to the sword,  
wroth with his heritage:  
verse 63 The young men were devoured with fire,  
maids had no marriage.  
verse 64 And with the sword the priests also  
did perish every cho●e:  
And not a widow left alive  
their death for to bemole.   

verse 65 And then the Lord began to wake,  
like one that slept a time:  
Or like a valiant man of war,  
refreshed after wine.  
verse 66 With Emeralds in the hinder parts,  
he struck his enemies all:  
And put them then unto a shame,  
that was perpetual.   

verse 67 Then he the tent and tabernacle,  
of joseph did refuse:  
As for the tribe of Epliraim,  
he would in no wise choose.  
verse 68 But choose the tribe of jehuda,  
whereas he thought to devil:  
Even the noble mount Zion,  
which he did love so well.   

verse 69 Whereas he did his temple build,  
both sumptuously and sure:  
Like as the earth which he had made  
for ever to endure.  
verse 70 Then chose he David him to serve,  
his people for to keep:  
Which be took up and brought away,  
even from the folds of sheep.   

verse 71 As he did follow the ewes with young,  
the Lord did him advance:  
To feed his people Israel,  
and his inheritance.  
verse 72 Then David with a faithful heart,  
his flock and charge did feed:  
And prudently with all his power,  
did govern them in deed.     

Deus venerunt. psal. Lxxix. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxvij. Psalm.  

O Lord the Gentiles do invade,  
thine heritage to spoil:  
jerusalem an heap is made,  
thy temple they defoil.  
verse 2 The bodies of thy Saints most dear,  
abroad to birds they cast:  
The flesh of them that do thee fear,  
the beasts devour and waste.   

verse 3 Their blood throughout jerusalem,  
as water spilled they have:  
So that there is not one of them,  
to lay their dead in grave.  
verse 4 Thus are we made a laughing stock,  
almost the world throughout:  
The enemies at us jest and mock,  
which devil our coasts about.   

verse 5 will thou (O Lord) thus in thine ire,  
against us ever fume:  
And show thy wrath as ●ote 〈…〉,  
thy folk for to consume?  
verse 6 Upon those people pour the same,  
which did thee never know:  
All Realms which call not on thy name,  
consume and overthrow.   

verse 7 For they have got the upper hand,  
and jacob's seed destroyed:  
His habitation and his land,  
they have left waist and void.  
verse 8 Bear not in mind our former faults,  
with speed some pity show:  
And aid us Lord in all assaults,  
for we are weak and low.   

verse 9 O God that genest all health and grace,  
on us declare the same:  
Weigh not our works our deeds deface,  
for honour of thy name.  
verse 10 Why shall the wicked still always,  
to us as people dumb:  
In thy reproach rejoice and say,  
where is their God become?   

Require (O Lord) as thou seest good,  
before our eyes in sight:  
Of all these folk thy servants blood,  
which they spilled in despite.  
verse 11 Receive into thy sight in haste,  
the clamours, grief, and wrong  
Of such as are in prison cast,  
fastayning irons strong.   

Thy force and strength to celebrated,  
Lord set them out of band:  
Which unto death are destinate,  
and in their enemy's hand.  
verse 12 The nations which have been so bold,  
as to blaspheme thy name:  
Into their laps with seven fold,  
repay again the same.   

verse 13 So we thy folk thy pasture sheep,  
will praise thee evermore:  
And teach all ages for to keep,  
for thee like praise in store.    

Qui regis Israel. psal. Lxxx. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxvij Psalm.  

THou heard that Israel dost keep,  
give ear and take good heed:  
Which leadest joseph like a sheep,  
and dost him watch and feed.  
verse 2 Thou Lord I say whofe searis set  
on Churubins so bright.  
Show foith thyself and do not let,  
sand down thy beams of light.   

verse 3 Before Ephraim, and Benjamin,  
Manasses eke likewise:  
To show thy power do thou begin,  
come help us, Lord, arise.  
verse 4 Direct our hearts unto thy grace,  
convert us Lord to thee:  
Show us the brightness of thy face,  
and then full safe are we.   

verse 5 Lord God of hosts of Israel,  
how long wilt thou I say:  
Against thy folk in anger swell,  
and wilt not hear them pray?  
verse 6 Thou dost them seed with sorrows deeps,  
their bread with tears they eat:  
〈…〉  
〈…〉   

verse 7 〈…〉  
to those that devil about:  
And that 〈…〉  
they laugh and jest it out.  
verse 8 O take us Lord unto thy grace,  
convert our minds to thee:  
Sh●w forth to us thy joyful face,  
and we full safe shall ●e.   

verse 9 From Egypt where it grew not well,  
thou brought est a vi●e full dear:  
The heathen folk thou didst expel,  
and then didst plant it ●are.  
verse 10 Thou didst prepare for it a place,  
and set her roots full fast:  
That it did grow and spring apace,  
and filled the land at last.   

verse 11 The hills were covered round about,  
with shade that from is came:  
And eke the Ceders high, and stout,  
with branches of the same.  
verse 12 Why then didst thou her wall deploy?  
her hedge plucked up thou hast:  
That all the folk that pass thereby,  
thy vine may spoil and waste.   

The second part.  

verse 13 The Boar out of the wood so wild,  
doth dig, and root it out:  
The furious beasts out of the field,  
devour it all about.  
verse 14 O Lord of hosts return again,  
from heaven look betime:  
Behold and with thy help sustain,  
this poor vineyard of thine.   

verse 15 Thy plant I say thine Israel,  
whom thy right hand hath set:  
The same which thou didst love so well,  
O Lord do not forget.  
verse 16 They lordship and cut it down apace,  
they burn it eke with fire:  
And through the frowning of thy face,  
we perish in thine ire.   

verse 17 Let thy right hand be with them now,  
whom thou hast kep: so long:  
And with the son of man whom thou,  
to thee hast made so strong.  
verse 18 And so when thou hast set us free,  
and saved us from shame.  
Then will we never fall from thee,  
but call upon thy name.   

verse 19 O Lord of hosts to thy good grace,  
convert us unto thee:  
Behold us with a pleasant face,  
and then full safe are we.     

Exultate Deo. psal. Lxxxi. I H.  
BElight and glad, in God rejoice which is our strength and stay, be joyful & lift up your voice to jacob's God I say, prepare your instruments most meet some joyful Psalm to sing, strike up with harp & lute so sweet▪ on every pleasant string.  

verse 3 Blow as it were in the new moon,  
with trumpets of the best:  
As it is used to be done,  
at any solemn feast.  
verse 4 For this is unto Israel  
a statute and a trade:  
A law that must be kept full well,  
which jacob's God hath made.   

verse 5 This clause with joseph was decreed,  
when he from Egypt came:  
That as a witness all his ●eede,  
should still observe the fame.  
verse 6 When God (I say) had so prepared,  
to bring him from that land:  
Whereas the speech which he had heard,  
he did not understand.   

verse 7 I from his shoulders took (saith he)  
the burden clean away:  
And from the furnace quite him free,  
from burning brick of clay.  
verse 8 When thou in grief didst cry and call,  
I h●lpe thee by and by:  
And I did answer thee withal,  
in thunder secretly.   

verse 9 Yea at the waters of discord,  
I did thee tempt and prove:  
Whereas the goodness of the Lord,  
with muttering thou didst move.  
verse 10 Hear O my folk. O Israel,  
and I assure it thee:  
Regard and mark my words full well,  
if thou wilt clean to me:   

The second part.  

verse 11 Thou shalt no God in thee reserve  
of any la●d abroad:  
Nor in no wise to bow or serve,  
a strange and foreign God.  
verse 12 I am the Lord thy God, and I  
from Egypt set thee free:  
Then ask of me abundantly,  
and I will give it thee.   

verse 13 And yet my people would not hear  
my voice when that I spoke:  
Nor-Israell would no● obey,  
but did me quite forsake.  
verse 14 Then did I leave them to their will,  
in hardness of their heart:  
To walk in their own counsels still,  
themselves they might pervert.   

verse 15 O that my people would have heard,  
the words that I did say:  
And eke that Israel would regard,  
to walk within my way.  
verse 16 How soon would I confounded their foes,  
and bring them down full low●  
And turn my hand upon all those,  
that would th●m overthrow.   

verse 17 And they that at the Lord do rage,  
as slaves should seek him till:  
But of his folk the time and age,  
should flourish ever still.  
verse 18 I would have fed them with the crop,  
and finest of the wheat:  
And make the rock with honey drop,  
that they their fils should eat.     

Deus stet●t. Psal. Lxxxii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the 81. Psalm.  

AMid the press with men of might,  
the Lord himself did stand:  
To plead the cause of truth and right,  
with judges of the land.  
verse 2 How long (said he) will you proceed,  
false judgements to award:  
And have respect for love of meed,  
the wicked to regard.   

verse 3 Whereas of due ye should descend,  
the fatherless and weak:  
And when the poor man doth contend,  
in judgement justly speak.  
verse 4 If ye he wise defend the cause  
of poor men in their right:  
And rid the needy from the claws  
of tyrants force and might.   

verse 5 But nothing will they know or learn,  
in vain to them I talk:  
They will not see or aught discern,  
but still in darkness walk.  
For lo even now the time is come,  
that all things fall to naught:  
And likewise laws both all and some,  
for gain are sold and bought.   

verse 6 I had decreed it in my sight,  
as Gods to take you all:  
And children to the most of might,  
for love I did you call:  
verse 7 But notwithstanding ye shall die,  
as men and so decay:  
O tyrants I shall you destroy,  
and pluck you quite away.   

verse 8 Up Lord and let thy strength he knows,  
and judge the world with might:  
For why all nations are thine owen,  
to take them as thy right.    

Deus quis. Psal. Lxxxii. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the Lxxvij Psalm.  

DO not (O God) refrain thy tongue  
in silence do not stay.  
Withold not Lord thyself so long,  
nor make no more delay.  
verse 2 For why, behold thy foes and see,  
how they do rage and cry:  
And those that bear an hate to thee,  
hold up their heads on high.   

verse 3 Against thy folk they use deceit,  
and crastely they inquire:  
For thine elect to lie in wait,  
their counsel doth conspire.  
verse 4 Come on (said they) let us expel,  
and pluck these folk away▪  
So that the name of Israel,  
may utterly de●●y.   

verse 5 They all conspire within their heart,  
how they may thee withstand:  
Against the Lord to take a part,  
they are in league and band.  
verse 6 The tents of all the Edomites,  
the Ismaelites also:  
The Hagarens, and Moabites,  
with divers other more.   

verse 7 gebal, with Ammon, and likewise  
doth Amaleck conspire:  
The Philistives against thee rise,  
with them, that devil at tire.  
verse 8 And Assure eke is well apaid,  
with them in league to be:  
And doth become a fence and aid,  
to Lot's posterity.   

verse 9 As thou didst to the Madianites,  
to serve them Lord eachone:  
As to Cicer, and to jabin,  
beside the brook Kison.  
verse 10 Whom thou in Endor didst destroy,  
and waste them through thy might:  
That they like dung on earth did lie,  
and that in open sight.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Make them now and their Lords appear,  
like Zeb and Oreb then:  
As Zebah and Zalmana were,  
the kings of Madian.  
verse 12 Which said let us throughout the laud,  
in all the coasts abroad:  
Possess and take into our hand,  
the fair houses of God.   

verse 13 Turn them (O God) with storms, as fast  
as wheels that have no stay:  
Or like as chaff which men do cast  
with winds to fly away.  
verse 14 Like as the fire with rage and fume  
the mighty forests spills:  
And as the flame doth quite consume  
the mountayes, and the hills:   

verse 15 So let the tempest of thy wrath,  
upon their necks be laid:  
And of the stormy wind, and shower,  
Lord make them all afraid.  
verse 16 Lord bring them all I thee desire,  
to such rebuke and shame:  
That it may 'cause them to inquire,  
and learn to seek thy name.   

verse 17 And let them evermore daily,  
to shame and slander fall▪  
And in rebuke and obloquy,  
to perish eke withal.  
verse 18 That they may know and feel full well,  
that thou art called Lord:  
And that alone thou dost excel,  
and rain throughout the world.

how pleasant Lord they be?  
verse 2 My soul doth long full sore to 〈◊〉,  
into thy cour●●●broad:  
My heart doth lust, my flesh also,  
in thee the living God.   

verse 3 The sparrows find a room to rest,  
and save themselves from wrong:  
And eke the swallow hath a nest,  
wherein to keep her young.  
verse 4 These birds full nigh thine altar may  
have place to fit and sing:  
O Lord of hosts thou art (I say)  
my God, and eke my king.   

verse 5 O they be blessed that may devil  
within thy house always:  
For they all times thy facts do tell,  
and ever give thee praise.  
verse 6 Yea happy sure likewise are they,  
whose stay and strength thou art:  
Which to thy house do mind the way,  
and seek it in their heart.   

verse 7 As they go through the vale of tears,  
they dig up fountains still:  
That as a spring it all appears,  
and thou their pits dost fill  
verse 8 From strength to strength they walk full fast,  
no saintnes there shall be:  
And so the God of Gods at last,  
in Zion they do see.   

verse 9 O Lord of hosts to me give heed,  
and hear when I do pray:  
And let it through thine ears proceed,  
O jacob's God I say.  
verse 10 O Lord our shield of thy good grace,  
regard and ●o draw hear:  
Regard (I say) behold the face,  
of thine anointed dear.   

verse 11 For why? within thy courts one day,  
is better to abide:  
Then other where to keep or stay,  
a thousand days beside.  
verse 12 Much rather would ● keep a door,  
within the house of God:  
Then in the tents of wickedness,  
to settle mine abode.   

verse 13 For God the Lord light and defence,  
will grace and worship give:  
And no good thing shall be withhold,  
from them that purely live.  
verse 14 O Lord of hosts that man is blest,  
and happy sure is he:  
That is persuaded in his breast,  
to trust all timer in thee,    

Benedixisti. psal. Lxxxu. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the thirty. Psalm.  

THou hast been merciful in deed,  
O Lord unto thy land:  
For thou restoredst jacob's seed,  
from thraldom on't of band.  
verse 2 The wicked ways that they were in,  
thou didst them clean remit:  
And thou didst hide the people's sin,  
full close thou coveredst it.   

verse 3 Thy anger eke thou didst assuage,  
that all thy wrath was gone:  
And so didst turn thee from thy rage,  
with them to ●e at one.  
verse 4 O God our health do now convert,  
thy people unto thee:  
Put all thy wrath from us apart,  
and angry cease to be.   

verse 5 Why? shall thine anger never end,  
but still proceed on us?  
And shall thy wrath itself extend,  
upon all ages thus?  
verse 6 W●●t thou not rather turn therefore,  
and quicken us, that we  
And all thy folk may evermore,  
be glad and joy in thee.   

verse 7 O Lord on us do thou declare,  
thy goodness to our wealth:  
Show forth to us and do not spare,  
thine aid and saving health.  
verse 8 I will hark what God said, for he  
spoke to his people peace:  
And to his Saints, that never they  
returns to foolishness.   

verse 9 For why? his health is still at hand,  
to such as him do fear:  
Whereby great glory in our land,  
shall devil, and flourish there.  
verse 10 For truth and mercy there shall meet,  
in one to take their place:  
And peace shall justice with his greet●,  
and there they shall embrace.   

verse 11 As truth from earth shall spring apace,  
and flourish pleasantly:  
So righteousness shall show her face,  
and look from heaven buy.  
verse 12 Yea, God himself shell take in hand,  
to give us each good thing:  
And through the coasts of all out land,  
the earth her fruits shall bring.   

verse 13 Before his face shall justice go,  
much like a guide or stay:  
He shall direct his steps also,  
and keep them in the way.

With grievous pain and grief oppressed

verse 2 Preserve my soul, because my way,  
and doings holy be:  
And save thy servant, O my Lord,  
that puts his trust in thee.   

verse 3 Thy mercy Lord on me express,  
defend me eke withal:  
For through the day I do not cease.

verse 4 Comfort (O Lord) th● servants soul,

For unto thee Lord I extol,  
and lift my soul and mind,   

verse 5 For thou art good and bountiful,  
thy gifts of grace are free:  
And eke thy mercy plentiful,  
to all that call on thee.  
verse 6 O Lord likewise when I do pray,  
regard and give an ear:  
Mark well the words that I do say,  
and all my prayers hear,   

verse 7 In time when trouble doth me 〈◊〉  
to thee I do complain:  
For why I know and well do prove,  
thou answerest me again.  
verse 8 Among the Gods (O Lord) is none,  
with thee to be compared:  
And none can do as thou alone,  
the like hath not been heard.   

The second part.  

verse 9 The Gentiles and the people all,  
which thou didst make and frame:  
Before thy face on knees will fall,  
and glorify thy name.  
verse 10 For why thou art so much of might,  
all power is thine own:  
Thou workest wonders still insight,  
for thou art God alone.   

verse 11 O teach me (Lord) the way▪ and I  
shall in thy truth proceed:  
O join my heart to thee so ay,  
that it thy name may dread.  
verse 12 To thee my God will I give praise,  
with all my heart (O Lord)  
And glorify thy name always,  
for ever through the world.   

verse 13 For why? thy mercy showed to me:  
is great, and doth excel:  
Thou settest my soul at liberty,  
out from the lower hell.  
verse 14 O Lord the proud against me rise,  
and heaps of men of might:  
They seek my soul, and in no wise  
will have thee in their sight.   

verse 15 Thou Lord art merciful and meek,  
full slack and slow to wrath?  
Thy goodness is full great, and eke  
thy truth no measure hath▪  
verse 16 O turn to me and mercy grant,  
thy strength to me apply.  
O help and save thine own servant,  
thy handmaids son am I   

verse 17 On me some sign of favour show,  
that all my foes may see:  
And be ashamed because (Lord) thou,  
dost help and comfort me:     

Fundamenta. Psal. Lxxxvii. I.H.  
Sing this as the lxxxi. Psalm.  

THat City shall full well endure,  
her ground work 〈◊〉 doth stay:  
Upon the holy hills full sure,  
it can no time decay.  
verse 2 God loves the gates of Zion best,  
his grace doth there abide:  
He loveth them more than all the rest,  
of jacob's centes beside.   

verse 3 Full glorious things reported be,  
in Zion and abroad:  
Great things I say are said of thee,  
thou City of our God.  
verse 4 On Rahab I will cast an eye,  
and hear in mind the fame:  
And Babylon shall eke apply,  
and learn to know thy 〈◊〉.   

verse 5 Lo Pal●stine and ●yre also,  
with Ethiop likewise:  
A people old, full long ago,  
were borne and there didwise.  
verse 6 Of Zion they shall say abroad,  
that divers men of fame  
Have there sprung up, and the high God  
hath founded fast the fame.   

verse 7 In their records to them it shall,  
through God's deui●e appear:  
Of Zion that the chief of all,  
had his beginning there.  
verse 8 The trumpeters with such as sing,  
therein great plenty be:  
My fountains, and my pleasant springs,  
are compassed all in thee.    

Domine Deus. Psal. Lxxxviii. I.H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxxi. Psalm.  

LOrd God of health the hope and stay,  
thou art alone to me:  
I call and cry throughout the day,  
and all the night to thee.  
verse 2 O let my prayers son ascend,  
unto thy sight on high:  
Incline thine ear (O Lord) intend,  
and ●arken to my cry.   

verse 3 For why? my soul with woe is filled,  
and doth in trouble devil:  
My life and breath almost doth yield,  
and draweth nigh to hell.  
verse 4 I am esteemed as one of them  
that in the pit do fall:  
And made as one among those men,  
that have no strength at all.   

verse 5 As one among the dead, and free  
from things that hear remain:  
It were more case 〈◊〉 to be,  
with them the which are slain.  
verse 6 As those that lie in gra●e, I say,  
whom thou hast clean forgot:  
The which thy hand hath cut away,  
and thou regardest them not.   

verse 7 Yea like to one, shut up full sure,  
within the allows pit:  
In places dark, and all obscure,  
and in the depth of it.  
verse 8 Thy anger and thy wrath likewise,  
full sore on me doth lie:  
And all the storms against me rise  
my soul to vex and try.   

verse 9 Thou putst my 〈◊〉 of from me,  
and makest them hate me fore:  
I am shut up in prison fast,  
and can come forth no more.  
verse 10 My sight doth fall though grief and woe,  
I call to thee (O God)  
Throughout the day, my hands also  
to thee I stretch abroad.   

The second part?  

verse 11 Dost thou unto the dead declare,  
thy wondrous works of fame?  
Shall dead to life again repair,  
and praise thee for the same?  
verse 12 Or shall thy loving kindness (Lord)  
be preached in the grave?  
Or shall with them that are destroyed,  
thy truth her honour have?   

verse 13 Shall they that lie in dark full low,  
of all thy wonders wots?  
Or there shall they thy justice know,  
where all things are forgot?  
verse 14 But I (O Lord) to thee always  
do cry and call apace:  
My prayer eke 〈◊〉 it be day,  
shall come before thy face.   

verse 15 Why dost thou (Lord abhor my soul,  
in grief that seeketh thee:  
And now (O Lord) why dost thou hide  
thy face away from me?  
verse 16 I am afflict as dying still,  
from youth this many a year:  
The terrors which do vex me ill,  
with troubled mind I hear.   

verse 17 The furies of thy wrathful rage,  
full sore upon me fall:  
Thy terrors eke do not alwage,  
but me oppress withal,  
verse 18 All day they compass me about,  
as water at the tide:  
And all at once with streams full stout,  
beset me one each side.   

verse 19 Thou settest far from me my friends,  
and lovers every one:  
Yea and mine old acquaintance all  
out of my sight are gone.     

Misericordias. Psal. Lxxxix. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxvii. Psalm.  

TO sing the mercy of the Lord,  
my tongue shall never spare:  
And with my month from age to age,  
thy truth I will declare.  
verse 2 For I have said that mercy shall  
for evermore remain:  
In that thou dost the heavens stay,  
thy truth appeareth play ne.   

verse 3 To mine elect (saith God) I made,  
a covenant and behast:  
My servant David to persuade,  
I swore and did protest:  
verse 4 Thy seed for ever I will stay,  
and stablish it full fast:  
〈…〉 uphold thy throne always,  
from age to age to last.   

verse 5 The heavens show with joy and mirth,  
thy wondrous works O Lord:  
Thy Saints within thy Church on earth,  
thy faith and truth record.  
verse 6 Who with the Lord is equal thou,  
in all the clouds abroad?  
Among the sons of all the Gods,  
what one is like our God?   

verse 7 God in assembly of the Saints,  
is greatly to be dread:  
And over all that devil about,  
in terror to be had.  
verse 8 Lord God of bestaw in all the world,  
what one is like to thee?  
On every side most mighty Lord,  
thy truth is seen to be.   

verse 9 The raging Sea, by thineaduice,  
thou rulest at thy will:  
And when the waves th● 〈◊〉,  
thou makest them calm and still.  
verse 10 And Egypt thou Lord least subdued,  
and thou hast it destroyed:  
Yea thou my foes with mighty arm,  
hast scattered all abroad.   

The second part.  

verse 11 The heavens are thine, and still have been,  
likewise the earth and sand:  
The world with all that is therein,  
thou foundest with thy hand.  
verse 12 Both North, and South, with East and west,  
thyself didst make and frame:  
Both Tabor mount and eke Hermon,  
rejoice and praise thy name.   

verse 13 Thy arm is strong and full of power,  
all might therein doth lie:  
The strength of thy right hand each bower,  
thou liftest up on high.  
verse 14 In righteousness and equity,  
thou hast thy seat and place:  
Mercy and truth are still with thee,  
and go before thy face.   

verse 15 That folk is blest that knoweth aright,  
thy present power, O God:  
For in the favour of thy sight,  
they walk full safe abroad.  
verse 16 For in thy name throughout the day,  
they joy and much rejoice:  
And through thy righteousness have they,  
a pleasant fame and noise.   

verse 17 For why? their glory, strength, and aid,  
in thee alone doth lie:  
Thy goodness eke that hath us stayed,  
shall lift our horn on high.  
verse 18 Our strength, that doth defend us well,  
the Lord to us doth bring:  
The ho●● one of Israel,  
he is our guide and king.   

verse 19 Sometime thy will unto thy Saints,  
in visions thou didst show:  
And thus then didst thou say to them,  
thy mind to make them know.  
verse 20 A man of might have I erect,  
your king and guide to be:  
And set up him whom I elect,  
among the folk to me.    

The third part.  

verse 21 My servant David I appoint,  
whom I have searched out:  
And with my holy oil anoint  
him king of all the rout.  
verse 22 For why? my hand is ready still,  
with him for to remain:  
And with mine arm also I will  
him strengthen and sustain.   

verse 23 The enemies shall not him oppress,  
they shall him not devour:  
Ne yet the sons of wickedness,  
shall have of him no power.  
verse 24 His foes likewise will I destroy,  
before his face in sight:  
And those that hate him I will plague,  
and strike them with my might.   

verse 25 My truth and mercy eke withal,  
shall still upon him lie:  
And in my name his horn eke shall,  
be listed up on buy.  
verse 26 His kingdom I will set to be,  
upon the Sea and sand.  
And eke the running floods shall be,  
embrace with his right hand.   

verse 27 He shall depend with all his hair  
on me, and thus shall say:  
My father and my God thou art  
my rock of health and stay.  
verse 28 As one first borne I will him take,  
of all on earth that springs:  
His might, and honour, I will make,  
above all worldly kings.   

verse 29 My mercy shall be with him still,  
as I myself have ●old:  
My faithful covenant to fulfil,  
my mercy I will hold.  
verse 30 And eke his seed will I sustain,  
for ever strong and sure:  
So that his seat shall still remain,  
while heaven doth endure.    

The fourth part.  

verse 31 If that his sons forsake my law,  
and so begin to swerver:  
And of my judgements have none awe,  
nor will not them observe.  
verse 32 Or if they do not use aright,  
my statutes to them made:  
And set all my commanndementes light,  
and will not keep my trade.   

verse 33 Then with the rod will I begin,  
their doings to amend:  
And so with scourging for their sin,  
when that they do offend.  
verse 34 My mercy yet and my goodness,  
I will not take him fro:  
Nor handle him with craftiness,  
and so my truth forego.   

verse 35 But sure my covenant I will hold,  
with all that I have spoke:  
Not word the which my lips have told,  
shall altar or be broke.  
verse 36 Once swore I by my holiness,  
and that perform will I:  
With David I shall keep promise,  
to him I will not lie.   

verse 37 His seed for evermore shall reign,  
and eke his throne of might:  
As doth the Sun it shall remain,  
for ever in my sight.  
verse 38 And as the Moon within the sky,  
for ever standeth fast:  
A faithful witness from on buy,  
so shall his kingdom last.   

verse 39 But now (O Lord) thou dost reject,  
and now thou changest cheer:  
Yea thou art wroth with thine elect,  
thine own anointed dear.  
verse 40 The couteaunt which thy servant made,  
Lord thou hast quite undone:  
And down upon the ground also,  
hast cast his royal crown.    

The fift part.  

verse 41 Thou pluckst his hedges up with might,  
his walls dost thou confounded:  
Thou beatest eke his bulwarks down,  
and breakest them to the ground.  
verse 42 That he is sore, destroyed, and torn,  
of comers by throughout:  
And so is made a mock and scorn,  
to all that devil about.   

verse 43 Thou their right hand hast lifted up,  
that him so sore annoyed:  
And all his foes that him 〈◊〉,  
lo thou hast made to joy.  
verse 44 His sword edge thou dost take away,  
that should his foes withstand:  
To him in war no victory  
thou givest, nor upper hand.   

verse 45 His glory thou dost also waste,  
his throne, his joy, his mirth  
By thee is overthrown, and cast  
full low upon the earth.  
verse 46 Thou hast cut of and made full short  
his youth and lusty days:  
And raised of him an ill report,  
with shame and great dispraise.   

verse 47 How long away from me (O Lord)  
for ever wilt thou turn:  
And shall thine anger still always,  
as fire consume and burn?  
verse 48 O call to mind, remember then  
my time consumeth fast:  
Why hast thou made the sons of men,  
as things in vain to waste.   

verse 49 What man is he that liveth here,  
and death shall never see?  
Or from the hand of hell his soul,  
shall he deliver free?  
verse 50 Where is (O Lord) thine ●uld goodness,  
so often declared before?  
Which by thy truth and uprightness,  
to David thou hast sworn?   

verse 51 The great rebukes to mind I call,  
that on thy servants lie:  
The railing of the people all,  
borne in my breast have I  
verse 52 Wherewith (O Lord) thine enemies,  
blasphemed have thy name:  
The steps of thine anointed one,  
they cease not to defame.   

verse 53 All praise to thee O Lord of hosts,  
both now and eke for ay:  
Through sky, and earth in all the coasts,  
Amen, Amen, I say.     

Domine refugium. Psal. XC. I H.  
Sing this as the lxxvij. psalm.  

THou (Lord) hast been our sure defence,  
our place of ease and rest:  
In all times past, yea so long sense,  
as can not be expressed.  
verse 2 Ere there was made mountain or hill  
the earth, and world abroad:  
From age to age, and always still,  
for ever thou art God.   

verse 3 Thou grindest man through grief and pain,  
to dust or clay, and then,  
And then thou sayest again, return  
again ye sons of men.  
verse 4 The lasting of a thousand year,  
what is it in thy sight:  
As yesterday it doth appear,  
or as a watch one night.   

verse 5 So soon as thou dost scatter thene,  
then is their life and trade:  
All as a sleep, and like the grass,  
whose beauty soon doth fade.  
verse 6 Which in the morning shines full bright,  
but fadeth by and by;  
And is cut down ere it be night,  
all withered, dead and dry.   

verse 7 For through thine anger we consume,  
our might is much decayed:  
And of thy fervent wrath and fume,  
Lord make them all 〈…〉  
verse 8 The wicked works that we have wrought,  
thou feast before thine eye:  
Our privy faults, yea eke our thoughts,  
thy countenance doth spy.   

verse 9 For through thy wrath our days do waste,  
thereof doth naught remain:  
Our years consume as words or blasts,  
and are not called again.  
verse 10 Our time is threescore years and ten,  
that we do live on mould:  
If on see fourscore, surely than  
we count him wondrous old.   

The second part.  

verse 11 Yet of this time the strength and chief,  
the which we count upon:  
Is nothing else but painful grief,  
and we as blasts ar●gone.  
verse 12 Who once doth know what strength is there.  
what might thine ange● hath:  
Or in his heart who doth thee fear,  
according to thy wrath.   

verse 15 Instruct us Lord to know and try,  
how long our days remain:  
That then we may our hearts apply,  
true wise 〈◊〉 to attain.  
verse 14 Return, O Lord, how long wilt thou,  
forth on in wrath proceed?  
Show favour to thy servants now,  
and help them at their need.   

verse 15 Refresh us with thy mercy soon,  
and then our joy shall be:  
All times so long as life doth last,  
in heart rejoice shall we.  
verse 16 As thou hast plagued us before,  
now also make us glad:  
And for the years wherein full sore,  
afflicti●● 〈◊〉 have 〈◊〉.   

verse 17 O Let thy work and power appear,  
and on thy servants light:  
And show unto their children dear,  
thy glory and thy might,  
verse 18 Lord let thy grace, and glory stand,  
on worthy servants thus:  
Confirm the works we take in hand,  
Lord prospero them to us.     

Qui habitat. psal. Xci I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxix. Psalm.  

HE that within the secret place,  
of God most high doth devil:  
In shadow of the mightiest grace,  
at rest shall keep him well,  
verse 2 Thou art my hope, and my strong hold,  
I to the Lord will say:  
My God is he in him will I,  
my whole affiance stay.   

verse 3 He shall defend thee from the snare,  
the which the hunter laid:  
And from the deadly plague and care,  
whereof thou art afraid.  
verse 4 And with his wings shall cover thee,  
and keep thee saf●; lie there:  
His saith and truth thy sense 〈◊〉,  
as sure as shield and spea.   

verse 5 So that thou shalt not need, I say,  
to fear, or be at flight  
Of all the shafts that fly by day,  
nor terrors of the night.  
verse 6 Nor of the plague that privily,  
doth walk in dark so fast:  
Nor yet of that which doth destroy,  
and at noon days doth waste.   

verse 7 Yea at thy side as thou dost stand,  
a thousand dead shallbe:  
Ten thousand eke at thy right hand,  
and yet shalt thou be free.  
verse 8 But thou shalt see it for thy part,  
thine eyes shall well regard:  
That even like to their desert,  
the wicked have reward.   

verse 9 For why (O Lord) I only lust,  
to stay my hope on thee:  
And in the highest I put my trust,  
my 〈◊〉 sense is he.  
verse 10 Thou shalt not need none ill to fear,  
with thee it shall not mell:  
Nor yet the plague shall once come near,  
thy house where thou dost devil.   

verse 11 For why unto his angels all,  
with charge commanded he:  
That still in all thy ways they shall,  
preserve and prospero thee.  
verse 12 And in their hands shall thee bear up,  
still waiting thee upon:  
So that thy feet shall never chance  
to spurn at any stone.   

verse 13 Upon the Lion thou shalt go,  
the Adder fell and long:  
And tread upon the lions young,  
with Dragon's stout and strong.  
verse 14 For that he trusteth unto me,  
I will dispatch him quite:  
And him delend, because that he  
doth know my name aright.   

verse 15 When he for help on me doth cry,  
an answer I will give:  
And from his grief take him will I:  
in glory for to live.  
verse 16 With length of years, and days of wealth,  
I will fulfil his time:  
The goodness of my saving health,  
I will declare to him.    

Bonum est. Psal. XCii. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxxviij. Psalm.  

IT is a thing, both good and meet,  
to praise the highest Lord:  
And to thy name, O thou most high,  
to sing in one accord.  
verse 2 To show the kindness of the Lord,  
betime er● day be light:  
And ●ke declare his truth abroad,  
when it doth draw to night.   

verse 3 Upon ten stringed instrument,  
on Lute and Harp so sweet:  
With all the mirth you can in●ent,  
of Instruments most meet.  
verse 4 For thou hast made 〈◊〉 to rejoice,  
in things so wrought by thee:  
And I have joy in here and voice,  
thy handy works to see.   

verse 5 O Lord how glorious and how great,  
are all thy works so stout:  
So deeply are thy counsels set,  
that none can try them out.  
verse 6 The man unwise hath not the wit,  
this gear to pass to bring:  
And all such fools are nothing fit,  
to understand this thing.   

verse 7 When so the wicked at their will,  
as grass do spring full fast:  
They when they flourish in their ill,  
for ever shallbe waste.  
verse 8 But thou art mighty (Lord most high)  
yea thou dost reign therefore:  
In every time eternally,  
both now and evermore.   

verse 9 For why O Lord behold and see,  
behold thy foes I say?  
How all that work● iniquity,  
shall perish and decay.  
verse 10 But thou like as ac● Vntoorn,  
shalt lift my horn on ●y:  
With fresh and new prepared oil,  
thine ●oynted king am I   

verse 11 And of my foes before mine eyes,  
shall see the fall, and shame  
Of all that up against me rise,  
mine ear shall hear the same.  
verse 12 The just shall flourish up on ●y,  
as Date trees bud and blow:  
And as the Cedar's multiply,  
and Libanus that grow.   

verse 13 For they are planted in the place,  
and dwelling of our God:  
Within his courts they spring apace,  
and florishall abroad.  
verse 14 And in their age more fruit shall bring,  
both fat and well beseen:  
And pleasantly both bud and spring.  
with boughs and branches green.   

verse 15 To show that God is good and lust,  
and upright is his will:  
He is my rock, my hope and trust:  
in him there is none ill.    

Dominus regnavit, Psal. xciii. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxvij. Psalm.  

THe Lord as king a fit doth reign,  
with glory goodly dight:  
And he to 〈◊〉 his strength and main,  
hath girt himself with might.  
verse 2 The Lord likewise the earth hath made,  
and shaped it so sure:  
Not might can make it move or fade,  
at stay it doth endure.   

verse 3 Ere that the world was made or wrought,  
thy s●ate was set before:  
Beyond all time that can be thought,  
thou hast been evermore.  
verse 4 The floods O Lord, the floods do rise,  
they roar and make a noise:  
The floods I say did enterprise,  
and lifted up their voice.   

verse 5 Yea though the storms arise in ●ight▪  
though Seas do ●age and swell;  
The Lord is strong and more of might,  
for he on his doth devil.  
verse 6 And look what promise he doth make,  
his household to defend:  
For just and true they shall it take,  
all times withouten end.    

Deus ultionum. psal. xciiii. I H.  
¶ Sing this as the lxviij Psalm.  

O Lord thou dost revenge all wrong,  
that office longs to thee:  
●ith vengeance doth to thee belong,  
declare that all may see▪  
verse 2 Set forth thyself for thou of right,  
the earth dost judge and guide:  
Reward the proud and men of might,  
according to their pride.   

verse 3 How long shall wicked men bear sway,  
with lifting up their voice?  
How long shall wicked men I say,  
thus triumph and rejoice?  
verse 4 How long shall they with brags burst out,  
and proudly prate their fill▪  
Shall they rejoice▪ which be softout,  
whose works are ever ill?   

verse 5 Thy flock (O Lord) thine heritage,  
they spoil and vex full sore:  
Against thy people they do rage,  
still daily more and more.  
verse 6 The widows which are comfortless,  
and strangers they destroy:  
They slay the children fatherless,  
and none doth put them by.   

verse 7 And when they take these things in hand,  
this talk they have of thee:  
Can jacob's God this understand,  
tush not he cannot see.  
verse 8 O folk unwise, and people rude,  
some knowledge now discern:  
You fools among the multitude,  
at length begin to learn.   

verse 9 The Lord which made the ear of man,  
he needs of right must hear:  
He made the eye, all things, must then  
before his sight appear.  
verse 10 The Lord doth all the world correct,  
and make them understand:  
Shall he not then your deeds detect?  
how can ye scape his hand?   

The second part.  

verse 11 The Lord doth know the thought of man,  
his heart he seeth full plain:  
The Lord I say men's thoughts doth scan,  
and findeth them but vain,  
verse 12 But Lord that man is happy sure,  
whom thou dost keep in awe:  
And through correction dost procure,  
to teach him in thy law.   

verse 13 Whereby he shall in quiet rest,  
in time of trouble sit:  
When wicked men shallbe suppressed,  
and fall into the pit.  
verse 14 For sure the Lord will not refuse,  
his people for to take:  
His heritage whom he did choose,  
he will no time forsake.   

verse 15 Until that judgement 〈…〉

That all may follow he, with spsed,  
that are of upright heart▪  
verse 16 But who upon my part shall stand,  
against the cursed train?  
Or who shall rid me from their hand  
that wicked works maintain?   

verse 17 Except the Lord had been mine aid,  
myn● enemies to repel:  
My soul and life had now have laid,  
almost as low as hell.  
verse 18 When I did say my snote, did slide,  
and now am like to fall:  
Thy goodness Lord did so provide.

So that their sufferings and their wrongs,

verse 3 His chamber beams lie,  
in the clouds full sure,  
Which as his chariot  
are made him to bear:  
And there with much swiftness,  
his course doth endure,  
Upon the wings riding  
of wind in the air.  
verse 4 He maketh his spirits  
as Heralds to go:  
And light●ynges to seru●  
we see also priest:  
His will to accomplish  
they turn to and fro  
To save or consume things,  
as seemeth him ●est.   

verse 5 He groundeth the earth  
so firmly and fast,  
That it once to move  
none have shall such power.  
verse 6 The deep a fair covering  
for it made thou hast,  
Which by his own nature  
the hills would d●uour.  
verse 7 But at thy rebuke  
the waters do flee,  
And so give due place,  
thy word to o●ay:  
At thy voice of thunder  
so fearful they be,  
That in their great raging,  
they hast soon away.   

verse 8 The mountains full high  
they then up ascend:  
If thou do but speak,  
thy word they fulfil.  
So likewise the valleys  
most quickly descend,  
When thou them appointest,  
remain they do still.  
verse 9 Their bounds thou hast set  
how far they shall run,  
So as in their rage  
not that pass they can.  
For God hath appointed,  
they shall not return,  
The earth to destroy more,  
which made was for man.

verse 10 He sendeth the springs  
to strong streams or lakes,  
Which r●nne do full swift,  
among the huge hills.  
verse 11 Where both the wild Asse●,  
their thirst often times ●lakes,  
And beasts of the mountains,  
thereof drink their fills.  
verse 12 By these pleasant springs  
of fountains full fair,  
The fowls of the air  
abide shall and devil:  
Who moved by nature  
to hop here and there,  
Among the green branches  
their songs shall excel.   

verse 13 The mountains to moist,  
the clouds he doth use:  
The earth with his works,  
are wholly replete:  
verse 14 So as the brute cattles,  
he doth not refuse:  
But grass doth provide them,  
and herb for man's meat.  
verse 15 Yea bread, wine, and oy●e  
he made for man's sake,  
His face to refresh,  
and heart to make strong.  
verse 16 The Cedars of Liban,  
this great Lord did make,  
Which trees he doth nourish,  
that grow up so long.   

verse 17 In these may birds build,  
and make there their nest,  
In fir trees the Storks  
remain and abide.  
verse 18 The high h●ls are succours  
for wild Goats to rest,  
And eke the rocks stony  
for conies to hide.  
verse 19 The Moon than is set  
her seasons to ●unne,  
The days from the nights  
thereby to discern▪  
And by the descending  
also of the Sun:  
The cold from hea●e always,  
thereby we do learn.   

verse 20 When darkness doth come  
by God's will and power,  
Then creep ●orth do all  
the beasts of the wood:  
verse 21 The Lions range roaring,  
their prey to de●our,  
But yet it is thou Lord,  
which givest them food.  
verse 22 Assoon as the Sun  
is up▪ they retire:  
To couch in their dens  
then are they full fayne▪  
verse 23 That man to his work may

Till night come and call him  
to take rest again.    

The third part.  

verse 24 How sundry O Lord  
are all thy works found,  
With wisdom full great  
they are in deed wrought,  
So that the whole world,  
of thy praise doth ●●u●d:  
And as for thy riches,  
they pass all men's thought.  
verse 25 So as the great Se●  
which large is and broad  
Where things that creep swarm  
and beasts of each sort.  
verse 26 There both mighty ships sail  
a●d some lie at road:  
The whale huge and monstrous  
there also doth sport.   

verse 27 All things on thee way●  
thou dost them relieve,  
And thou in due time  
full well dost them feed  
verse 28 Now when it doth please thee,  
the same so to ge●e:  
They gather f●●l gladly  
those things which they need.  
Thou openest thy hand  
and they fi●de such grace,  
That they with good things  
are filled we see:  
verse 29 But sore are they troubled  
if thou turn thy fa●●  
For if thou their breath take  
vile dust than they be.   

verse 30 Again when thy spirit,  
from thee doth proceed  
All things to appoint  
and what shall ensue:  
Then are they created.  
as thou hast decreed.  
And dost by thy goodness  
the dry earth renew.  
verse 31 The praise of the Lord▪  
for ever shall last  
Who may in his works  
by right well rejoice:  
verse 32 His look can the earth make  
to tremble full fast,  
And likewise the mountains▪  
they smoke at his voice.   

verse 33 To this Lord and God▪  
sing will I always,  
So long as I live  
my God praise will I  
verse 34 Then am I most certain  
my words shall him please,  
I will rejoice in him  
to him will I cry.  
verse 35 The sinners (O Lord,)  
consume in thine ire,  
And eke the perverse  
them root out, with shame▪  
But as for my soul now  
let it still desire:  
And say with the faithful,  
praise ye the lords name.     

Confitemini Domino. psal. Cu. N.  
¶ Sing this as the xcv. Psalm.  

Give praises unto God the Lord,  
and call upon his name:  
Among the people eke declare,  
his works to spread his fame,  
verse 2 Sing ye unto the Lord I say,  
and sing unto him praise:  
And talk of all the wondrous works,  
that he hath wrought always.   

verse 3 In honour of his holy name,  
rejoice with one accord:  
And let the heart also rejoice  
of them that seek the Lord  
verse 4 Seek ye the Lord and seek the strength,  
of his eternal might:  
And seek his face continually,  
and presence of his sight.   

verse 5 The wondrous works that he hath done,  
keep still in mindful heart:  
Ne let the judgements of his mouth,  
out of your mind departed.  
verse 6 You that of faithful Abraham,  
his servant are the seed:  
You his elect, the children that  
of jacob do proceed.   

verse 7 For he, he only is I say:  
the mighty Lord our God,  
And his most rightful judgements are,  
through all the earth abroad.  
verse 8 His promise and his covenant,  
which he hath made to his:  
He hath remembered evermore,  
to thousands of degrees.   

The second part.  

verse 9 The covenant which he hath made,  
with Abraham long ago:  
And faithful oath which he hath sworn  
to Isaac also.  
verse 10 And did confirm the same for law  
that jacob should obey:  
And for eternal covenant,  
to Israel for aye.   

verse 11 When thus he said lo I to you  
all Chanaan land will give:  
The lot of your inheritance,  
wherein your seed shall live.  
verse 12 Although their number at that time,  
did very small appear:  
Yea very small, and in the land  
they then but strangers were.   

verse 13 While yet they walked from land to land,  
without a sure abode:  
And while fro sundry kingdoms they  
did wander all abroad.  
verse 14 And wrong at none oppressors hand,  
he suffered them to take:  
But even the great and mighty kings,  
reproved for their sake.   

verse 15 And thus he said, touch ye not those,  
that mine anointed be:  
Ne do the Prophets any harm,  
that do pertain to me.  
verse 16 He called a dearth upon the land,  
of bread he stroyd the store:  
But he against their time of need,  
had sent a man before.    

The third part.  

verse 17 Even joseph which had once been sold,  
to live a slave in woe:  
verse 18 Whose feet they hurt in stocks, whose soul  
the iron pierced also.  
verse 19 Until the time came when his cause,  
was known apparently:  
The mighty word of God the Lord,  
his faultless truth did try.   

verse 20 The king sent and delivered him,  
from prison where he was:  
The ruler of the people then,  
did freely let him pass.  
verse 21 And over all his house he made  
him Lord to bear the sway:  
And of his substance made him have  
the rule and all the stay.   

verse 22 That he might to his will instruct,  
the Princes of his land:  
And wisdoms lore his ancient men,  
might teach to understand.  
verse 23 Then into the Egyptian land,  
came Israel also:  
And jacob in the land of Ham,  
did live a stranger though.   

verse 24 His people he exceedingly,  
in number made to flow  
And over all their enemies  
in strength he made them grow.  
verse 25 Whose heart he turned that they with hate▪  
his people did entreat:  
And did his servants wrongfully,  
abuse with false deceit.    

The fourth part.  

verse 26 His faithful servant Moses then,  
and Aaron whom he chose:  
He did command to go to them,  
his message to disclose.  
verse 27 The wondrous message of his signs,  
among them they did show:  
And wonders in the land of Ham,  
than did they work also.   

verse 28 Darkness he sent and made it dark,  
in st●ed of brighter day:  
And unto his commission,  
they did not disobey.  
verse 29 He turned their waters into blood,  
he did their fishes ●lay:  
verse 30 Their land brought frogs even in the place,  
where their king Pharo lay.   

verse 31 He spoke▪ and at his voice there came,  
great swarms of noisome Flies:  
And all the quarters of their land,  
were filled with crawling lice:  
verse 32 He gave them cold and stony hail,  
in steed of milder rain▪  
And fier● flames within their land,  
he sent unto their pain.   

verse 33 He smote their vines and all their trees,  
whereon their figs did grow:  
And all the trees within their coasts,  
down did he overthrow.  
verse 34 He spoke, than Caterpillars did,  
and Grasshoppers abound:  
verse 35 Which eat the grass in all their land,  
and fruit of all their ground.    

The fift part.  

verse 36 Their first begotten in their land,  
eke deadly did he smite:  
Yea the beginning, and first fruit  
of all their strength and might.  
verse 37 With gold and silver he them brought  
from Egypt la●d to pas.  
And in the number of their tribes,  
no feeble one there was.   

verse 38 Egypt was glad and joyful then,  
when they did thence departed:  
For terror and the fear of them,  
was fallen upon their heart.  
verse 39 To shroud them from the parching hea●,  
a cloud he did display:  
And fire ●e sent to give them light,  
when night had hid the day.   

verse 40 They asked, and he caused quails  
to rain at their request:  
And ●ully with the bread of heaven,  
their hunger he repressed.  
verse 41 He opened then the stony rock,  
and waters gushed out:  
And in the dry and parched grounds,  
like ●iuers ●anne about.   

verse 42 For of his holy covenant,  
ay mindful was he though:  
Which to his servant Abraham,  
●e plighted long ago.  
verse 43 He b●ought his people forth with mirth,  
and his elect with joy:  
Out of the cruel land where they  
had lived in great annoy.   

verse 44 And of the Heathen men he gave,  
to them the fruitful lands:  
The labour of the people 〈◊〉,  
they took into their hands.  
verse 45 That they his holy statutes might,  
observe for evermore:  
And faithfully obey his laws,  
praise ye the Lord therefore.     

Confitemini Domino. psal. Cvi. N.  
¶ Sing this as the xcv. Psalm.  

Praise ye the Lord for he is good,  
his mercy dures foray:  
verse 2 Who can express his noble acts,  
or all his praise display▪  
verse 3 They blessed are that judgements keep,  
and ●ustly do always:  
verse 4 With favour of thy people Lord,  
remember me I pray.   

And with thy sa●yng health O Lord,  
vouchsafe to visit● me:  
verse 5 That I the great felicity  
of thine elect may see.  
And with thy people's joy I may,  
a joyful mind possess:  
And may with thine inheritance,  
a glorying▪ heart express.   

verse 6 Both we and eke our fathers all,  
have sinned every one:  
We have committed wickedness,  
and lewdly we have done.  
verse 7 The wonders great which thou O Lord,  
hast done in Egypt land▪  
Our fathers though they saw them all,  
yet did not understand.   

Nor they thy mercy's multitude,  
did keep in thankful mind:  
But at the Sea, yea the read Sea,  
rebelled most unkind.  
verse 8 Nevertheless he ●aued them,  
for honour of his name:  
That he might make his power known,  
and spread abroad with fame.   

verse 9 The read Sea he did then rebuke,  
and forthwith it was dried:  
And as in wilderness so through  
the deep he did them guide.  
verse 10 He saved them from the cruel hand,  
of their despiteful foe:  
And from the enemy's hand he did  
deliver them also.   

The second part.  

verse 11 The waters their oppressors whelmed,  
not one was left alive:  
verse 12 Then they believed his words, and praise  
in song they did him give.  
verse 13 But by and by unthankfully,  
his words they clean forgot:  
And for his counsel and his will,  
they did neglect to wait.   

verse 14 But lusted in the wilderness,  
with fond and greedy lust,  
And in the desert tempted God,  
the stay of all their trust.  
verse 15 And then their wanton minds desire,  
he suffered them to have:  
But wasting leans therewithal,  
into their soul he gave.   

verse 16 Then when they lodged in their tents,  
at Moses they did grudge:  
Aaron the holy of the Lord,  
so did they m●y much.  
verse 17 Therefore the earth did open wide,  
and Dathan did decoure:  
And all Abirams company,  
did coue● in th●● hour.   

verse 18 In their assembly kindled was  
the hot consuming fire:  
And wasting flame did then burn up,  
the wicked in his ire.  
verse 19 Upon the h●ll of Horeb they  
an Idol Calf did frame:  
And there the molten Image they  
did worship of the same.   

verse 20 Into the likeness of a Calf,  
that feedeth on the grass:  
Thus they their glo●y turned, and all  
their honour did deface.  
verse 21 And God● their only Saviour,  
unkindly they forgot:  
Which many great and mighty things,  
in Egypt land had wrought.    

The third part.  

verse 22 And in the land of Ham for them,  
most wondrous works had done:  
And by the read Sea dreadful things,  
performed long agone.  
verse 23 Therefore for their so showing them,  
forgetful and unkind:  
To bring destruction on them all,  
he purposed in his mind.   

Had not his chosen Moses stood  
before him in the break:  
To turn his wrath lest he on them,  
with slaughter should him wreak.  
verse 24 They did despise the pleasant land,  
that he be●ight to give:  
Yea and the words that he had spoke,  
they did no whi● believe.   

verse 25 Butt in their tents with grudging heart,  
they wickedly repined:  
Not to the voice of God the Lord,  
they gave an hearkening mind.  
verse 26 Therefore against them lifted he,  
his strong revenging hand:  
Them to destroy in wilderness,  
ere they should see the land.   

verse 27 And to destroy, their seed among,  
the nations with his rod:  
And through the countries of the world,  
to scatter them abroad.  
verse 28 To Baal Pe●r then they did  
adjoin themselves also:  
And eat the offerings of the dead,  
so they forsook him tho.   

verse 29 Thus with their owen inventions,  
his wrath they did provoke:  
And in his so enkindled wrath,  
the plague upon them broke.  
verse 30 But Phinces stood up with Zeal,  
the sinners vile to s●ay:  
And judgement he did execute,  
and then the plague did stay.    

The fourth part.  

verse 31 It was imputed unto him,  
for right co●snes that day:  
And from thenceforth so counted is,  
from race to race for ay.  
verse 32 At waters eke of Meribah,  
they did him angry make:  
Yea, so f●r forth that Moses was,  
then punished for their sake.   

verse 33 Because they vent his spirit so fore,  
that in impatient heat:  
His lips spoke unadvisedly?  
his fever was so great.  
verse 34 Nor as the Lord commanded them,  
they slew the people tho:  
verse 35 Butt were among the heathen mixed,  
and learned their works also.   

verse 36 And did their Idols serve, which were,  
their ruin and decay:  
verse 37 To fiends their sons and daughters they  
did offer up and slay.  
verse 38 Yea with unkindly murdering knife,  
the guiltless blood they spilled:  
Yea their own sons and daughter's blood  
without all cause of guile.   

Whom they to Canaan Idols then,  
offered with wicked hand:  
And so with blood of innocentes,  
defiled was the land.  
verse 39 Thus were they stained with the works,  
of their own filthy way:  
And with their own inventions,  
a whoring they did stray.   

verse 40 Therefore against his people was  
the lords wrath kindled sore:  
And even his own inheritance,  
therefore he did abhor.  
verse 41 Into the hands of Heathen men,  
he gave them for a pray:  
And made their foes their Lords, whom they  
were forced to obey.    

The fift part.  

verse 42 Yea and their hateful enemies,  
oppressed them in the land:  
And they were humbly made to stoop,  
as subjects to their hand.  
verse 43 Full oftentimes from thrall had he,  
delivered them before:  
But with their counsels they to wrath,  
provoke him evermore.   

Therefore they by their wickedness,  
were brought full low to lie:  
verse 44 Yet when he saw them in distress,  
he hearkened to their cry.  
verse 45 He called to mind his covenant,  
which he to them had swore:  
And by his mercies multitude,  
repented him therefore.   

verse 46 And favour he them made to find,  
before the sight of those:  
That led them captive from the land,  
when erst they were her foes.  
verse 47 Save us (O Lord) that art our God  
save us (O Lord) we pray:  
And from among the heathen folk,  
Lord gather us away.   

That we may spread the noble praise,  
of thy most holy name:  
That we may glory in thy praise,  
and sounding of thy fa●●e.  
verse 48 The Lord the God of Israel,  
be blest for evermore▪  
Let all the people say Amen▪  
praise ye the Lord therefore.     

Confitemini Domino. Psal. Cvii. W.K.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxvij. Psalm.  

Give thanks unto the Lord our God,  
for gracious is he:  
And that his mer●, hath none end,  
all mortal men may see:  
verse 2 Such as the Lord redeemed hath,  
with thanks shall pray●e his name:  
And show ho● they from foes were freed,  
and how be wrought the same.   

verse 3 He gathered them forth of the lands  
that lay so far about:  
From East to west, from North to South,  
his hand did find them out.  
verse 4 They wandered in the wilderness,  
and strayed from the way:  
And found no City where to devil,  
that serve might for their stay.   

verse 5 Whose thirst and hunger was so great,  
in th●se des●rtes so void.  
That faintness did them sore assault,  
and eke their souls annoyed.  
verse 6 Then did they cry in their distress,  
unto the Lord for aid:  
Who did ●emou● their troublous state,  
according as they prayed.   

verse 7 And by that way which was most right,  
he led them like a guide:  
That they might to a City go,  
and there also abide.  
verse 8 Let men therefore before the Lord,  
confess his kindness then:  
And show the wonders that be doth,  
before the sons of men.   

verse 9 For he the empty soul sustained,  
whom thirst had made to faint:  
The hungry soul with goodness fed,  
and did them eke acquaint.  
verse 10 Such as do devil in darkness deep,  
where they of death do wait:  
Fast bound to taste such troublous storms,  
as iron chains do threat.   

The second part.  

verse 11 For that against the Lords own words,  
they sought so to rebel:  
Esteeming l●ght his counsels high,  
which do so far excel.  
verse 12 But when he humbled them full low,  
they then fell down with grief:  
And none was found so much to help,  
whereby to get relief.   

verse 13 Then did they cry in their distress,  
unto the Lord for aid:  
Who did remove their tropblous state,  
according as they prayed.  
verse 14 For he from darkness out them brought,  
and from deaths dreadful shade:  
Bursting with force the iron bands,  
which did before them lad.   

verse 15 Let men therefore before the Lord,  
confess his kindness then:  
And show the wonders that he doth,  
befor● the son●es of men.  
verse 16 For he threw down their gates of brass,  
and broke them with strong hand,  
The iron harres he smote in two,  
nothing could him withstand.   

verse 17 The foolish folk great plagues do ●e●ele,  
and cannot from them wend:  
But heap on mo●to those they have,  
because they do offend.  
verse 18 Their soul so much doth loath all meat,  
that none they could abide:  
Whereby death had them almost caught,  
as they full truly tried.   

verse 19 Then did they cry in their distress,  
unto the Lord for aid▪  
Who did remove their troublous state,  
according as they prayed.  
verse 20 For he then sent to them his word,  
which health did soon restore:  
And brought them from those dangers deep,  
wherein they were before.   

verse 21 Let them therefore before the Lord,  
confess his kindness then:  
And show the wonders that he doth,  
before the sons of men.  
verse 22 And let them offer sacrifice  
with thanks, and also fear:  
And speak of all his wondrous works,  
with glad and joyful cheer.   

verse 23 Such as in ships or brittle barks,  
into the Seas descend:  
Their merchandise through fearful floods,  
to compass and to end.  
verse 24 Those men are forced to behold,  
the lords works what they be:  
And in the dangerous deep the same  
most marvelous they see.   

verse 25 For at his word the stormy wind●  
ariseth in a ●age:  
And stirreth up the surges so,  
as naught can them assuage.  
verse 26 Then are they lifted up so high,  
the cloude● they seem to gain:  
And plunging down the depth until,  
their souls consume with pain.   

verse 27 And like a drunkard, to and ●ro,  
now hear, now there they reel:  
As men with fear of wit bereft,  
or had offence no feel.  
verse 28 Then did they cry in their distress,  
unto the Lord for aid:  
Who did remove their troublous state,  
according as they prayed.   

verse 29 For with his word the Lord doth make,  
the sturdy storms to cease:  
So that the great wants from their rage,  
are brought to rest and peace.  
verse 30 Then are men glad when rest is come,  
which they so much do crave:  
And are by him in haven brought,  
which they so fain would have.   

verse 31 Let men therefore before the Lord,  
confess his kindness then:  
And show the wonders that he doth,  
before the sons of men.  
verse 32 Let them in presence of the folk,  
with praise extol his name:  
And where the Elders do convent,  
let them there do the same:   

verse 33 For running floods to dry deserts,  
he doth often change and turn:  
And drieth up as it were dust,  
the springing well and bourn.  
verse 34 A fruitful land with pleasures deche  
full barren he doth make:  
When on their sins that devil therein,  
he doth just vengeance take.   

verse 35 Again, the wilderness full rude  
he maketh fruit to bear:  
With pleasant springs of waters clear●,  
though none before were there.  
verse 36 Wherein such hungry souls are set,  
as he doth freely choose:  
That they a City may them build,  
to devil in for their use.   

verse 37 That they may sow their pleasant laud,  
and vineyards also plant,  
To yield them fruits of such increase,  
as none may seem to want.  
verse 38 They multiply exceedingly,  
the Lord doth bless him so:  
Who doth also their brute beasts make,  
by numbers great to grow.   

verse 39 But when the faithful are low brought,  
by the oppressors stout:  
And minish do through many plagues▪  
that compass them about.  
verse 40 Then doth the princes bring to shame,  
which did them sore oppress  
And likewise caused them to err,  
within the wilderness.   

verse 41 But yet the poor he raised up,  
out of his troubles deep:  
And often times doth his train augment,  
much like a flock of sheep.  
verse 42 The righteous shall behold this sight,  
and also much rejoice:  
Whereas the wicked and perverse,  
with grief shall stop their voice.   

verse 43 But who is wise that now full well,  
he may these things record?  
For certainly such shall perceive,  
the kindness of the Lord

O God my heart prepared is,

And in the morning I myself,  
right early will awake.   

verse 3 By me among the people Lord,  
still praised shalt thou be:  
And I among the heathen folk,  
will sing (O Lord) to thee.  
verse 4 Because thy mercy (Lord) is great,  
above the heavens by●:  
And eke thy truth doth reach the clouds,  
within the lofty sky.   

verse 5 Above the starry heavens height,  
exalt thyself O God:  
And Lord display upon the earth,  
thy glory all abroad.  
verse 6 That thy dearly beloved may,  
be set at liberty  
help (O my God) with thy right hand,  
and hearken unto me.   

verse 7 God in his holiness hath spoke,  
wherefore my joys abound:  
Sichem I shall divide, and met●  
the vale of Succoth ground.  
verse 8 And Giliad shall be mine own,  
Ma●asses mine shall be:  
My head strength Ephraim, and law  
shall juda give to me.   

verse 9 Moab my washpot, and my shoe,  
on Edome I will throw:  
Upon the laud of Palestine,  
in triumph will I go.  
verse 10 Who shall into the City strong,  
be guide to conduct me?  
Or how by whom to Edome land,  
conveyed shall I be?   

verse 11 Is it not thou O God which late,  
hadst us forsaken quite?  
And thou O Lord which with our host,  
didst not go forth to fight?  
verse 12 give us O Lord thy saving aid,  
when trouble doth assail:  
For all the help of man is vain,  
and can no whit avail.   

verse 13 Through God we shall do valiant acts,  
and worthy of renown:  
He shall subdue our enemies,  
yea he shall tread them down.    

Deus laudem meam. psal. Cix. N.  
¶ Sing this as the lxxvij. Psalm.  

IN speechless silence do not hold,  
(O God,) thy tongue always:  
O God even thou I say that art  
the God of all my praise.  
verse 2 The wicked mouth and guileful mouth,  
on me disclosed be:  
And they with false and lying tongue,  
have spoken unto me.   

verse 3 They did beset me round about,  
with works of hateful spite:  
Without all cause of my desert,  
against me did they fight.  
verse 4 For my good will they were my foes,  
but then 'gan I to pray:  
verse 5 My good with ill, my friendliness  
with hate they did repay.   

verse 6 Set thou the wicked over him,  
to have the upper hand:  
At his right hand eke suffer thou,  
his hateful foe to stand.  
verse 7 When he is judged, let him then  
condemned be therein:  
And let the prayer that he makes  
be turned into sin.   

verse 8 Few be his days, his charge also  
let thou an other taker  
verse 9 His children let be fatherless,  
his wife a widow make.  
verse 10 Let his offspring be vagabonds,  
to beg and seek their bread:  
wandering out of the wasted place,  
where erst they have been fed.   

verse 11 Let covetous extortioner,  
catch all his goods and store:  
And let the strangers spoil the fruits  
of all his toil before.  
verse 12 Let there b● none to pity him,  
let there be none at all:  
That on his children fatherless,  
will let their mercy fall.   

The second part.  

verse 13 And so let his posterity,  
for ever be destroyed:  
Their name out blotted in the age,  
that after shall succeed.  
verse 14 Let not his father's wickedness,  
from God's remembrance fall:  
And let not thou his mother's sin,  
be done away at all.   

verse 15 But in the presence of the Lord,  
let them remain for ay:  
That from the earth the memory  
he may cut clean away.  
verse 16 Sith mercy he forgot to show,  
but did pursue with ●pight  
The troubled man, and sought to slay  
the woeful hearted wight.   

verse 17 As he did cursing love, it shall  
betide unto him so:  
And as he did not blessing love,  
it shall be far him fro.

showed to our Father's old.  
Where thy I felt thy joy surmount  
my grief an hundred fold.   

verse 53 But yet alas for fear I quake,  
seeing how wicked men:  
Thy law forsook and did procure  
thy judgements who knoweth when?  
verse 54 A●d as for me I framed my songs,  
thy statutes to exalt:  
When I among the strangers dwelled,  
and thoughts 'gan me assault.   

verse 55 I thought upon thy name (O Lord)  
by night when others sleep:  
As for thy law also I kept,  
and ever will it keep.  
verse 56 This grace I did obtain because,  
thy covenant sweet and dear:  
I did embrace and also keep,  
with reverence and with fear.    

HETH. The viii. part.  

verse 57 O God which art my part and lot,  
my comfort and my stay:  
I have decreed and promised,  
thy law to keep always.  
verse 58 Mine earnest heart did humbly sue,  
in presence of thy face:  
As thou therefore hast promised,  
Lord grant me of thy grace.   

verse 59 My life I have examined,  
and tried my secret heart:  
Which ●o thy statutes caused me,  
my feet strait to convert.  
verse 60 I did not stay not linger long,  
as they that slothful are:  
But hastily thy laws to keep,  
I did myself prepare.   

verse 61 The cruel bands of wicked men,  
have made of me their prey:  
Yet would I not thy law forget,  
nor from thee go astray.  
verse 62 Thy righteous judgement toward me  
so great is and so high:  
That even at midnight will I rise,  
thy name to magnify.   

verse 63 Companion am I to all them,  
which fear thee in their heart:  
And neither will for love nor dread,  
from thy commandments start.  
verse 64 Thy mercies (Lord) most plenteously,  
do all the world fulfil:  
O teach me how I may obey  
thy statutes and thy william.    

TETH. The ix. part.  

verse 65 According to thy promise Lord,  
so hast thou with me dealt:  
For of thy grace in sundry sorts,  
have I thy servant felt.  
verse 66 Teach me to judge always aright,  
and give me knowledge sure:  
For certainly believe I do  
that thy precepts are pure.   

verse 67 Yet thou didst ●uch me with thy rod  
I erred and went astray:  
But now I keep thy holy word,  
and make it all my stay.  
verse 68 Thou art both good and gracious,  
and givest most liberally:  
Thy ordinances how to keep,  
therefore (O Lord) teach me.   

verse 69 The proud and wicked men have forged  
against me many a lie:  
Yet thy commandments still observe  
with all my heart will I  
verse 70 Their hearts are swollen with worldly wealth,  
as grease so are they fat:  
But in thy law do I delight,  
and nothing seek but that.   

verse 71 O happy time, may I well say,  
when thou didst me correct:  
For as a guide to learn thy laws,  
thy rods did me direct,  
verse 72 So that to me thy word and law,  
is dearer manifold:  
Then thousands great of silver and gold,  
or aught that can be told.    

JOD. The x. part.  

verse 73 Seeing thy hands have made me Lord,  
to be thy creature:  
Grant knowledge likewise how to learn,  
to put thy laws in ure.  
verse 74 So they that sear thee shall rejoice,  
when ever they me see:  
Because I have learned by thy word,  
to put my trust in thee.   

verse 75 When with thy rods the world is plagd,  
I know the cause is just:  
So when thou didst correct me Lord,  
the cause just needs be must.  
verse 76 Now of thy goodness I thee pray:  
some comfort to me sand:  
As thou to me thy servant het●st,  
so from all ill me shend.   

verse 77 Thy tender mercies pour on me,  
and I shall surely live:  
For joy and consolation both,  
thy laws to me do give.  
verse 78 Confounded the proud, whose false pretence  
is me for to destroy:  
But as for me thy hosts to know,  
I will myself employ.   

verse 79 Who so with reverence do thee fear,  
to me let them retire:  
And such as do thy conenauntes know,  
and them alone desire.  
verse 80 My heart without all wavering,  
let on thy laws be bend:  
That no confusion come to me,  
wherein I should be shent.    

CAPH. The xi. part.  

verse 81 My soul doth faint and ceaseth not,  
thy saning health to crave:  
And for thy words sake still I trust,  
my hearts desire to have.  
verse 82 Mine eyes do fail with looking for  
thy word, and thus I say:  
O when wilt thou me comfort Lord?  
why dost thou thus delay?   

verse 83 As a skin bottle in the smoke,  
so am I parched and dried:  
Yet will I not out of my heart,  
let thy commandment slide.  
verse 84 Alas how long shall I yet line,  
before I see the hour:  
That on my foes, which me torment,  
thy vengeance thou wilt power?   

verse 85 Presumptuout men have digged pits,  
thinking to make me sure●  
Thus contrary against thy law,  
my hurt they do procure.  
verse 86 But thy commandments are all true,  
and causeless they me grieve:  
To thee therefore I do complain,  
that thou mightest me relieve.   

verse 87 Almost they had me clean destroyed,  
and brought me quite to ground:  
Yet by thy statutes I abode,  
and therein secure sound.  
verse 88 Restore me Lord again to life,  
for thy mercies excel:  
And so shall I thy covenants keep,  
till death my life expel:    

LAMED. The xii. part.  

verse 89 In heaven Lord where thou dost devil,  
thy word is established sure:  
And shall for all eternity,  
fast graven there endure.  
verse 90 From age to age thy truth abides,  
as doth the earth witness:  
Whose ground work thou hast laid so sure  
as no tongue can express.   

verse 91 Even to this day we may well see,  
how all things persevere:  
According to thy ordinance,  
for all things thee revere.  
verse 92 Had it not been that in thy law,  
my soul had comfort sought:  
Long time ere now in my distress,  
I had been brought to nought.   

verse 93 Therefore will I thy precepts ay,  
in memory keep fast:  
By them thou hast my life restored,  
when I was at last cast.  
verse 94 No ●ight to me can title make,  
for I am only thine:  
Save me therefore, for to thy laws,  
mine ears and heart incline.   

verse 95 The wicked men do seek my have,  
and thereto lie in wait:  
But I the while considered,  
thy noble acts and great.  
verse 96 I see nothing in this wide world,  
at length which hath not end:  
But thy commandment and thy word,  
beyond all end extend.    

MEM. The xiii part.  

verse 96 What great desire and fervent love,  
do I bear to thy law?  
All the day long my whole devise,  
is only on thy law.  
verse 98 Thy word hath taught me far to pass,  
my foes in policy:  
For still I keep it as a thing,  
of most excellency.   

verse 99 My teachers which did me instruct,  
in knowledge I excel:  
Because I do thy covenants keep,  
and them to others tell.  
verse 100 In wisdom I do pass also  
the ancient mea in deed:  
And all because to keep thy laws,  
I held it ay best reed.   

verse 101 My feet I have refrained eke  
from every evil way:  
Because that I, continually,  
thy word might keep, I say.  
verse 102 I have not swarned from thy judgements,  
nor yet shrunk any dell▪  
For why thou hast taught me thereby  
to live godly and well.   

verse 103 O Lord, how sweet unto my taste,  
find I thy words always?  
Doubtless no honey in my mouth,  
feel aught so sweet I may.  
verse 104 Thy laws have me such-wisedome learned,  
that utterly I hate  
All wicked and ungodly ways,  
in every kind or rate.    

NUN. The xiv. part.  

verse 105 Even as a Lantern to my feet,  
so doth thy word shine bright:  
And to my paths where ever I go,  
it is a flaming light.  
verse 106 I have both sworn and will perform  
most certainly doubtless:  
That I will keep thy judgements just,  
and them in life express.   

verse 107 Affliction hath me sore oppressed  
and brought me to deaths dote:  
O Lord as thou baste promised,  
so me to lice restore.  
verse 108 The offerings which with heart and voice,  
most frankly I thee gene:  
Accept, and teach me how I may  
after thy judgements live.   

verse 109 My soul is ay so in my hand,  
that dangers it assail:  
Yet do I not thy law forget,  
nor it to keep will fail.  
verse 110 Although the wicked laid their nets,  
to catch me at a bray:  
Yet did I not from thy precepts,  
once swerver and go astray.   

verse 111 Thy law I have so claimed always,  
as mine own heritage:  
And why? for therein I delight,  
and set my whole courage.  
verse 112 For evermore I have been bend,  
thy statutes to fulfil:  
Even so likewise unto the end,  
I will continued still.    

SAMECH. The xv. part.  

verse 113 The crafty thoughts and double heart,  
I do always detest:  
But as for thy law and precepts,  
I loved them ever best.  
verse 114 Thou art my hid and secret place,  
my shield of strong defence:  
Therefore have I thy promises,  
looked for with patience.   

verse 115 Go to therefore ye wicked men,  
departed from me anon:  
For the commandments will I keep  
of God my Lord alone.  
verse 116 As thou hast promised so perform,  
that death me not assail:  
Nor let my hope abuse me so,  
that through distrust I quail.   

verse 117 Uphold me and I shall be safe,  
for aught they do or say:  
And in thy statutes pleasure take  
will I both night and day.  
verse 118 Thou hast trod such vn●st thy feet,  
as do thy statutes break:  
For naught avails their subtlety,  
their counsel is but weak.   

verse 119 Like dro● thou casts the wicked out,  
where ever they go or devil:  
Therefore can I as thy statutes:  
love nothing half so well.  
verse 120 My flesh alas is taken with fear,  
as though it were benumbed:  
For when I see thy judgements straight  
I am as one aston'd.    

AJN. The xuj. part.  

verse 121 I do the thing that lawful is,  
and give to all men right:  
Resign me not to 〈◊〉 that would  
oppress me wit●●●eir might.  
verse 122 Butt for thy servant surety be,  
in that thing that is good:  
That proud men give me not the foil,  
which rage as they were wood.   

verse 123 Mine eyes with waiting are now blind,  
thy health so much I crave:  
And eke thy righteous promise Lord,  
whereby thou wilt me save.  
verse 124 Entreat thy servant lovingly,  
and favont to him show:  
Thy statutes of most excellency,  
teach me also to know.   

verse 125 Thy humble servant Lord I am,  
grant me to understand:  
How by thy statu●● I may know,  
best what to take in hand.  
verse 126 It is now time (Lord) to begin,  
for truth is quite decayed:  
Thy law likewise they have transgressed,  
and none against them said.   

verse 127 This is the cause wherefore I love  
thy laws better than gold:  
Or jewels fine, which are esteemed,  
most costly to be sold.  
verse 128 I thought thy precepts all most just,  
and so them laid in store:  
All crafty and malicious ways,  
I do abborre therefore.    

PE. The xvij. part.  

verse 129 Thy covenants are most wonderful,  
and full of things profound:  
My soul therefore doth keep them sure,  
when they are tried and found.  
verse 130 When men first enter into thy words,  
they find a light most clear:  
And very idiots understand,  
when they it read or hear.   

verse 131 For joy I have both gaped and breathed,  
to know thy commandment:  
That I might guide my life thereby,  
I sought what thing it meant.  
verse 132 With mercy and compassion Lord,  
behold me from above:  
As thou art wont to behold such,  
as thy name fear and love.   

verse 133 Direct my footsteps by thy word,  
that I thy will may know;  
And never let iniquity,  
thy servant overthrow.  
verse 134 From slanderous tongues and deadly harms  
preserve and keep me sure:  
Thy precepts than I will observe,  
and put them eke in ure.   

verse 135 Thy countenance which doth furmount,  
the Sun in his bright hue:  
Let shine on me: and by thy law,  
teach me what to eschew.  
verse 136 Out of mine eyes great ●●oudes gush out,  
of dreary tears and fell:  
When I behold how wicked men,  
thy law keep never a dell.    

ZADE. The xviij part.  

verse 137 In every point Lord thou art just,  
the wicked though they grudge:  
And when thou dost sentence pronounce  
thou art a righteous judge.  
verse 138 To tender right and flee from g●ile,  
are two chief points most high▪  
And such as thou hast in thy law,  
commanded us straightly.   

verse 139 With zeal and wrath I am confumde  
and even pined away:  
To see my foes thy words forget  
for aught that I do may.  
verse 140 So pure and perfect is thy word,  
as any heart can deem:  
And I thy servant nothing more,  
do love or yet esteem.   

verse 141 And though I be nothing set by,  
as one of base degree:  
Yet do I not thy Hests forget,  
nor shrink away from thee.  
verse 142 Thy righteousness (Lord) is most just,  
for ever to endure:  
Also thy law is truth itself,  
most constant and most pure.   

verse 143 Trouble and grief have seized on me,  
and brought me wondrous low:  
Yet do I still of thy precepts,  
delight to hear and know.  
verse 144 The righteousness of thy judgements,  
doth last for evermore:  
Then teach them me, for even in them  
my life lieth up in store.    

KOPH. The xix. part.  

verse 145 With fervent heart ●eald and cried,  
now answer me (O Lord)  
That thy commandments to observe,  
I may fully accord.  
verse 146 To thee (my God) I make my suit,  
wit● most humble request:  
Save me therefore, and I will keep  
thy precept and thy hest.   

verse 147 To thee I cry even in the morn,  
before the day wax light:  
Because that I have in thy word,  
my confidence whole plight.  
verse 148 Mine eyes prevent the watch by night,  
and ere they call, I wake:  
That by devising of thy word,  
I might some comfort take.   

verse 149 Incline thine ears to hear my voice,  
and pity on me take:  
As thou wast wont so judge me Lord,  
lest life me should forsake.  
verse 150 My fo●s draw near and do procure,  
my death maliciously  
Which from thy law are far gone back,  
and strayed from it lewdly.   

verse 151 Therefore (O Lord) approach thou 〈◊〉,  
for need doth so require:  
And all ●he precepts true they are,  
then help I thee desire.  
verse 152 By thy commandements I have learned,  
not now but long ago:  
That they remain for evermore,  
thou hast them grounded so.

Deliver me, for of thy law  
I 〈◊〉 take fast hold.  
verse 154 Defend my good and righteous cause,  
with peede me secure sand:  
From death as thou hast promised,  
Lord keep me and defend.   

verse 155 As for the wicked far they are,  
from having health and grace:  
Whereby they might thy statutes know,  
they enter not the trace.  
verse 156 Great are thy mercies Lord I grant,  
what tongue can them attain?  
And as thou hast me judged ere now,  
so let me lie ●e obtaynte.   

verse 157 Though many men did trouble me,  
and persecute most sore:  
Yet from 〈◊〉 laws I never shrunk,  
nor went awry therefore.  
verse 158 And truth it is for grief I die,  
when I these traitors see:  
Because they keep no whit thy word,  
nor yet seek to know thee.   

verse 159 Behold, for I do love thy laws,  
with heart both glad and feigns  
As thou art good and gracious Lord,  
restore my life again.

and so it hath been ever:  
Thy righteous judgements are also  
most true, and decay never.    

SCHIN. The xxi. part.  

verse 161 Princes have sought by cruelty,  
causeless to make me crouch:  
But all in vain, for of thy word  
the fear did my heart touch.  
verse 162 And certainly even of thy word,  
I was more merry and glad:  
Then he that of rich spoils and pray,  
great store and plenty had:   

verse 163 As for all lies and falsity,  
I hate most and detest:  
For why? thy holy law do I  
above all thy mges love best.  
verse 164 Seven times a day I praise the Lord,  
singing with heart and voice:  
Thy righteous acts and wonderful,  
so 'cause me to rejoice.   

verse 165 Great peace and rest shall all such have  
which do thy statutes love:  
Not danger shall their quiet state,  
impair or once remove.  
verse 166 My only health and comfort Lord,  
I look for at thy hand:  
And therefore have I done those things,  
which thou didst me command.   

verse 167 Thy laws have been my exercise,  
which my soul most desired▪  
So much my love to them was beut,  
that naught else I required.  
verse 168 Thy statutes and commandments,  
I kept thou knowest aright:  
For all the things that I have done,  
are present in thy sight.    

TAV. The xxij. part.  

verse 169 O Lord let my complaint and cry,  
before thy face appear:  
And as thou hast me promise' made,  
sio teach me thee to scare.  
verse 170 Mine humble supplication,  
toward thee let find acces:  
And grant me Lord deliverance,  
for so is thy promise.   

verse 171 Then shall my lips thy praises speak,  
after most ample sort:  
When thou thy statutes hast me taught,  
wherein stands all comfort.  
verse 172 My tongue shall sing and preach thy word,  
and on this wise say shall:  
Gods famous acts and noble laws,  
are just and perfect all.   

verse 173 Stretch out thy hand I thee beseech,  
and speedily me save:  
For thy commandments to observe,  
●ose● O Lord I have.  
verse 174 Of thee alone Lord I crave health,  
for other I know none:  
And in thy law and nothing else,  
I do delight alone.   

verse 175 Grant me therefore long days to live,  
thy name to magnify:  
And of thy judgements merciful,  
let me thy ●a●our ●ry.  
verse 176 For I was lost and went astray:  
much like a wandering sheep:  
O seek me for I have nor failed  
the commandments to keep.

¶ Sing this as the Cxj. Psalms.  
IN trouble and in th● all,  
Unto the Lord I call.  
And he doth me comfort:  
verse 2 Deliver me I say:  
From liars lips always:  
And tongue of false report.   

verse 3 What vantage, or what thing,  
Ge●st thou thus for to s●ing,  
Thou false and flattering liar?  
verse 4 Thy tongue doth hurt I ween,  
Not less than arrows keen,  
of hot consuming fire.   

verse 5 Alas to long, I slack,  
With●n these tents so black.  
Which Kedars are by name?  
By whom the ●●ocke elect,  
An● all of Isackes sect:  
Are put to open shame.   

verse 6 With them that peace did hate,  
I came a peace to make:  
And set a quiet lice:  
verse 7 But when my word was told,  
Causeless I was controlled.  
By them that would have strife.    

Levaui oculos. psal Cxxi. W. W.  
I Life mine ●yos to Zion hill: from whence I do attend, that succour God me sand. The mighty God me succour will, which heaven and earth framed, and all things therein named.

And thou also shalt have.  
verse 8 In all thy business good success,

Laetatus sum. Psal. Cxxii. W. K.  
I Did in heart rejoice, to hear the people's voice, in offering 〈◊〉 i●illingly: For let us upsay they, and in the lords house pray: Thus spoke the folk full lovingly. Our feet that wandered wide, shall in thy gate abide, O thou jerusalem full fair. Which art so seemly set, much like a City neat, The like whereof is not else where.  

verse 4 The tr'lbes with one accord,  
The tribes of God the Lord,  
Are thither bend their way to take:  
So God before did tell,  
That there his Isra●ll,  
Their prayer should together make.   

verse 5 For there are thrones erect,  
And that for this respect,  
To set forth justice orderly:  
Which thron●s right to maintain,  
To David's house pertain,  
His folk to judge accordingly.   

verse 6 To pray let us not cease,  
For jerusalems' peace,  
Thy friends God pro●per mightily:  
verse 7 Peace be thy walls about,  
And prospero thee throughout,  
Thy places eke continually.   

verse 8 I wish thee prosperous state,  
For my poor brethren's sake,  
That comfort have by means of thee:

Ad te levaui. Psal. Cxxiii. T. S.  
¶ Sing this as the twenty-three. Psalm.  

O Lord that heavens dost possess,  
I lift mine eyes to thee:  
Even as the servant lifteth his,  
his masters hands to see.  
verse 2 As handmaids watch their masters hands,  
some grace for to achieve:  
So we behold the Lord our God,  
till he do us forgive.   

verse 3 Lord grant us thy compassion,  
and mercy in thy sight:  
For we be filled and overcome,  
with hatred and despite:  
verse 4 Our minds be stuffed with great rebuke,  
the rich and worldly wise:  
Do make of us their mocking stock,  
the proud do us despise.    

Nisi quia Domi. psal. Cxxiiii. W. W.  
NOw Israel may say and that truly. If that the Lord had not our cause mainteind, If that the Lord had not our right sustained, When all the world 〈◊〉 us furiously, made their uproars and said we should all die.  

verse 3 Now long ago,  
they had devoured us all:  
And swallowed quick,  
for aught that we could deem:  
Such was their rage,  
as we might well esteem.  
verse 4 And as the floods,  
with mighty force do fall:  
So had they now,  
our life even brought to thrall.   

verse 5 The raging streams,  
most proud in roaring noise:  
Had long ago,  
overwhelmed us i● the deep.  
verse 6 But loved be God,  
which doth us safely keep  
From blou●y teeth,  
and their most cruel voice  
Which as a pray,  
to eat us would rejoice.   

verse 7 Even as the bird,  
out of the fowlers grin  
Escapeth away,  
right so it fareth with us:  
Broke are their nets,  
and we have scaped thus.  
verse 8 God that made heaven,  
and earth is our help then:  
His name had saved us  
from these wicked men.    

Qui confidunt. psal. Cxxu. W. K.  
Such as in God the Lord do trust, as mount Zion shall firmly stand, and be removed at no hand, the Lord will count them right and just. So that they shallbe sure, for ever to endure.  

verse 2 As mighty mountains huge and great,  
jerusalem about do close:  
So will the Lord be unto those.  
Who on his godly will do wait.  
Such are to him so dear:  
They never need to fear.   

verse 3 For though the righteous try doth he,  
By making wicked men his rod:  
Lest they through grief forsake their God,  
It shall not as their lot still be.

An other of the same by R. W.  
¶ Sing this as the x. Commandments.  

THose that do put their confidence,  
Upon the Lord our God only,  
And flee to him, for his defence,  
In all their need, and misery.  
Their faith is sure firm to endure  
Grounded on Christ, the cornerstone:  
Moved with none ill, but standeth still,  
Steadfast like to the mount Zion.   

And as about jerusalem,  
The mighty hills do it compass▪  
So that no enemies come to them,  
To hurt that town in any case:  
So God in deed, in every need,  
His faithful people doth defend,  
Standing them by assuredly:  
From this time forthworld without end.   

Rightwise, and good is our Lord Gods  
And will not suffer, certainly,  
The sinners and ungodlyes rod,  
To tarry upon his family.  
Lest they also from God should go,  
Falling to sin and wickedness.  
O Lord defend, world without end,  
Thy Christian flock, through thy goodness.   

O Lord do good to Christians all,  
That steadfast in thy word abide:  
Such as willingly from God fall,  
And to false doctrine daily slide,  
Such will the Lord scatter abroad,  
With, hypocrites thrown down to hell▪  
God will them sand pains without end  
But Lord, grant peace to Israel.   

— Glory to God the Father almight,  
And to the Son our Saviour▪  
And to the holy Ghost, whose light  
Shine in our hearts, and us secure.  
That the right way from day to day,  
We may walk and him glorify:  
With hearts desire all that are here,  
Worship the Lord and say Amen.    

In conuertendo. psal. Cxxvi W. K.  
WHen that the Lord again his Zion had forth brought, from bondage great and also sernitude ex- treme, his work was such as, did surmount man's heart and thought so that we were much like to the that use to dream: our mouths word with ●●ughter filled then and eke ou● tongues did show us joyful men.  

verse 2 The Heathen folk,  
were forced then this to confess  
How that the Lord  
for them also great things had done.  
verse 3 But much more we  
and therefore can confess, 〈◊〉 less,  
Wherefore to joy,  
we have good cause as we begun.  
verse 4 O Lord go forth,  
thou canst our bondage end:  
As to deserts,  
the flowing rivers sand.   

verse 5 Full true it is,  
that they which sow with tears indeed  
A time will come,  
when they shall ●eape in mirth and joy.  
verse 6 They went and wept,  
in bearing of their precious seed,  
For that their foes,  
full oftentimes did them annoyed:  
But their return,  
with joy they shall sure see:  
Their sheaves home bring,  
and not impaired be.

¶ Sing this as the lords Prayer.

And thereunto do 〈◊〉 his hand:  
What men do build it cannot stand.  
Likewise in vain men undertake,

Except the Lord be their safeguard.   

verse 2 Though ye rise early in the morn,  
And so at night go late to bed:  
Feeding full hardly with brown bread▪  
Yet were your labour lost and worn,  
But they whom God doth love and keep:  
Receive all things with quiet sleep.   

verse 3 Therefore mark well when ever ye see:  
That men have beyres to enjoy their land,  
It is the gift of Gods own hand.  
For God himself doth multiply,  
Of his great liberality▪  
The blessing of posterity.   

verse 4 And when the children come to age,  
They grow in strength; and 〈◊〉,  
In person, and in comeliness▪

Often they now Israel may say,  
me from my youth assailed:  
verse 2 Often they assailed me from my youth,  
yet never they prevailed.  
verse 3 Upon my back the plowers ploughed,  
and surrowes long did cast:  
verse 4 The righteous Lord hath cut the cords,  
of wicked foes at last.   

verse 5 They that hate him shallbe shamed,  
and turned back also:  
verse 6 And made as grass upon the house,  
which withereth ere it grow.  
verse 7 Whereof the mower can not find,  
enough to fill his hand:  
Nor he can fill his lap that goeth,  
to glean upon the land.   

verse 8 Nor passers by prey God on them  
to let his blessing fall:  
Nor say we bless you in the name,  
of God the Lord at all.    

De profundis. Psal. Cxxx. W. W.  
LOrd to thee I make my move, when daun- gers me oppress, I call, I sigh, plain and groan, trusting to find● release. Hear now O Lord my request, for it is full due time: And let thine ears aye be priest, unto this prayer mine.  

verse 3 O Lord our God if thou way  
our sins and them peruse:  
Who shall then escape, and say,  
I can myself excuse?  
verse 4 But Lord thou art merciful,  
and turnest to us thy grace:  
That we with hearts must careful,  
should scare before thy face?   

verse 5 In God I put my whole trust,  
my soul waits on his will:  
For his promise is most just,  
and I hope therein still.  
verse 6 My soul to God hath regard,  
wishing for him always:  
Moore than they that watch and ward,  
to see the dawning day.   

verse 7 Let Israel then boldly,  
in the Lord put his trust:  
He is that God of mercy,  
that his deliver must.

Israel from his sin:  
And all such as surely have,  
their confidence in him.

Memento Domine. psal. Cxxxii M.  
REmember David's troubles Lord, how to the Lord he swore, and vowed a vow to jacob's God, to keep for evermore. I will not come with- in my house, nor climb up to my bed, nor let my temples take their rest, or the eyes in my head.  

verse 5 Till I have found out for the Lord,  
a place to fit thereon:  
An house for jacob's Gods, to be  
an habitation.  
verse 6 We heard of it at Ephrata,  
there did we hear this sound,  
And in the fields and forests there,  
those voices first were sound.   

verse 7 We will assay and go in now,  
his tabernacle there:  
Before his footstool to fall down,  
upon our knees in fear.  
verse 8 Arise O Lord, arise I say,  
into thy resting place:  
Both thou and the Ark of thy strength,  
the presence of thy grace.   

verse 9 Let all thy Priests be clothed Lord,  
with truth and righteousness:  
Let all thy Saints and holy men,  
sing all with joyfulness.  
verse 10 And for thy servant David's sake,  
refuse not Lord I say:  
The face of thine anointed Lord,  
nor turn thy face a way.   

verse 11 The Lord to David swore in truth,  
and will not shrink from it:  
Saying, the fruit of thy body,  
upon thy seat shall fit.  
verse 12 And if thy Sons my couens●ut keep,  
that I shall learn eachone:  
Then shall thy Sons for ever sit,  
upon thy princely throne.   

verse 13 The Lord himself hath chose Zion,  
and loves therein to devil:  
verse 14 Saying this is my resting place,  
I love and like it well.  
verse 15 And I will bless with great increase,  
her victuals every where:  
And I will satisfy with bread,  
the needy that be there.   

verse 16 Yea I will deike and clothe her Priests,  
with my salvation:  
And all her Saints shall sing for joy,  
of my protection.  
verse 17 There will I surely make the horn,  
of David for to bud:  
For there have I ordained for mine,  
a Lantern bright and good.   

verse 18 As for his enemies I will clothe,  
with shame for evermore:  
But I will 'cause his crown to shine,  
more fresh than heretofore.

verse 2 It calls to mind that sweet perfume,  
and that costly ointment:  
Which on the Sacrificers head,  
by God's precept wa● spent.   

It wet not Aaron's head alone.  
but drenched his beard throughout:  
And finally it did run down,  
his rich attire about.  
verse 3 And as the lower ground doth drink,  
the dew of Hermon hill:  
And Zion with his silver drops,  
the fields with fruit doth fill.   

verse 4 Even so the Lord doth pour on them,  
his blessings manifold,  
Whose hearts and minds without all guile,  
this knot do keep and hold.

So hath he chosen Israel,

verse 5 For this I know and am right sure,  
the Lord is very great:  
He is in deed above all Gods,  
most easy to entreat.  
verse 6 For what soever pleased him,  
all that full well he wrought:  
In heaven, in earth, and in the Sea,  
which he hath made of naught.   

verse 7 He lifts up clouds even from the earth,  
be makes lightnings and rain:  
He bringeth forth the winds also,  
he made nothing in vain.  
verse 8 He smote the first borne of each thing▪  
in Egypt that took rest:  
He spared there no living thing▪  
the man nor yet the beast.   

verse 9 He hath in thee showed wonders great,  
O Egypt void of vaunts:  
On Pharaoh thy cursed king,  
and his senere seruatnts.  
verse 10 He smote then many nations,  
and did great acts and things:  
He slew the great and mighty est,  
and chiefest of their kings.

and Og king of Basan:  
He slew also the kingdoms all,

Free from the cruel man that means,  
to 'cause my steps to slide.

With cords in my path way, and grins,

Hear me O Lord, o hear the voice,  
wherewith I pray and move.  
verse 7 O Lord my God thou only art,  
the strength that saveth me:  
My head in day of battle hath,  
been covered by thee.   

verse 8 Let not O Lord the wicked have,

Perform not his ill thought, lest he  
with pride be set on fire.

devil with thee evermore.

verse 5 Then cried I Lord to thee, and said,  
my hope thou only art:  
Thou in the land of living art  
my portion and my part.

the way that I shall go.

Which hath thee brought from careful thrall,  
And eke reclaimed from Pharaos' rod,  
Make thee no Gods on them to call.   

verse 2 Nor fashioned form of any thing.  
In heaven or earth to worship it,  
For I thy God by revenging,  
With grievous plagues this sin will smite.

For so thou might soon purchase blame,  
And in his wrath he would thee spill.

The spirit of grace grant us (O Lord)  
To keep these laws, out hearts restore:  
And 'cause us all with one accord,  
To magnify thy name therefore.   

For of ourselves no strength we have,  
To keep these laws after thy will:  
Thy might therefore (O Christ) we crave,  
That we in thee may themm fulfil.   

Lord for thy name's sake grant, us this,  
Thou art our strength our Saviour Christ,  
Of thee to speed how should we miss,  
In whom our treasure doth consist.   

To thee for ever more be praise,  
With the Father in each respect,  
And with thy holy spirit, always,  
The comforter of thine elect.

Our Father which in heaven art, an● mak'st us all one brotherhood, to call upon thee with one heart our heavenvly Father & our God, ●●raunt we pray not with lips alone, but with thy heart deep sigh and groan.  

Thy blessed name be sanctified,  
Thy holy word might us inflame,  
In holy life for to abide,  
To magnify thy holy name.  
From all errors defend and keep,  
The little flock of thy poor sheep.   

Thy kingdom come even at this hour,  
And henceforth everlastingly:  
Thy holy Ghoft into us pour:  
With all his gifts most plenteously,  
From Satan's rage and filthy band,  
Defend us with thy mighty hand.   

Thy will be done with diligence,  
Like as in heaven in earth also,  
In trouble grant us patience,  
Thee to obey in wealth and woe,  
Let not flesh blood, or any ill,  
Prevail against thy holy william.   

give us this day our daily bread,  
And all other good gifts of thine:  
Keep us from war, and from bloodshed,  
Also from sickness, death, and pine,  
That we may line in quietness,  
Without all greedy carefulness.   

forgive us our offences all,  
Reliene our careful conscience,  
As we forgene both great and small,  
Which unto us have done offence,  
Prepare us Lord for to serve thee,  
In perfect love and unity.   

O Lord into temptation,  
Led us not when the fiend doth rage:  
To withstand his invasion,  
give power and strength to every age,  
Arm and make strong thy feeble host,  
With faith and with the holy Ghost.   

O Lord from evil delinct us,  
The days and times are dangerous,  
From everlasting death save us,  
And in our last need comfort us,  
A blessed end to us bequeath,  
Into thy hands our soul receive.   

For thou (O Lord) art king of kings,  
And thou hast power over all:  
Thy glory shineth in all things,  
In the wide world universal.  
Amen, let it be done (O Lord)  
That we have prayed with one accord.    

The xii. Articles of Christian faith.  
ALl my belief and con●idence, is in the Lord of might: The father which all things hath made, the day and eke the night, the heavens and the fir- mament, and also many a star, the earth, and all that is therein, which pass man's reason far.  

And in like manner I believe,  
in Christ our Lord his son:  
Coequal with the deity,  
and man in flesh and bone.  
Conceived by the holy Ghost,  
his word doth me assure:  
And of his mother Mary borne,  
yet she a Virgin pure.   

Because mankind to Satan was,  
for sin in bond and thrall:  
He came and offered up himself,  
to death to save us all.  
And suffering most grievous pain,  
than Pilate being judge:  
Was crucified on the cross,  
and thereat did not grudge.   

And so he died in the flesh,  
but quickened in the spirit:  
His body then was buried,  
as is our use and right.  
His spirit did after this descend,  
into the lower parts:  
To them that long in darkness were,  
the true light of their hearts.   

And in the third day of his death,  
he rose to life again:  
To th'end he might be glorified,  
out of all grief and pain.  
Ascending to the heavens buy,  
to sit in glory still:  
On God's right hand his father dear,  
according to his william.   

Until the day of judgement come,  
when he shall come again  
With Angels power, yet of that day,  
we all be uncertain.  
To judge all people righteously,  
whom he hath dearly bought:  
The living and the dead also,  
which he hath made of naught.   

And in the holy spirit of God,  
my faith to satisfy:  
The third person 〈◊〉 Trinity,  
believe I stead fastly▪  
The holy and Catholic Church,  
that God's word doth 〈…〉▪  
And holy Scripture doth allow,  
which Satan doth disdain.   

And also I do trust to have,  
by jesus Christ his death  
Release and pardon for my sins,  
and that only by faith.  
What time all flesh shall rise again,  
before the Lord of might:  
And see him with their bodily eyes,  
which now do give them light.   

And then shall Christ our Saviour,  
the sheep and Goats divides  
And give life everlastingly,  
to those whom be hath tried.  
Which is his realm celestial,  
in glory for to rest:  
With all the holy company,  
of Saints and Angels blest.   

Which serve the Lord omnipotent,  
obediently each hour:  
To whom be all dominion,  
and praise for evermore.    

¶ A prayer to the holy Ghost to be song before the Sermon.  
¶ Sing this as the Cxix. Psalm.  

COme holy spirit the God of might,  
comforter of us all:  
Teach us to know thy word aright,  
that we do never fall.  
O holy Ghost, visit our coast,  
defend us with thy shied:  
Against all sin and wickedness,  
Lord help us win the field.   

Lord keep our Queen and her Counsel,  
and give them will and might:  
To persever in the Gospel,  
which can put sin to flight.  
O Lord that givest thy holy word,  
sand preachers plenteously:  
That in the same we may accord,  
and therein live and die.   

O holy spirit direct a right,  
the preachers of thy word:  
That thou by them mayest cut down sin,  
as it were with a sword.  
Departed not from those Pastor's pure,  
but aid them at all need:  
Which break to us the bread of life,  
whereon our souls do feed.   

O blessed spirit of truth keep us,  
in peace and unity:  
Keep us from sects and errors all,  
and from all Papistry.  
Convert all those that are our foes,  
and bring them to thy light:  
That they and we may well agreed,  
and praise thee day and night.   

O Lord increase our faith in us,  
and love for to abounds  
That man and wife be void of strife,  
and neighbours about us round.  
In our time give thy peace, O Lord,  
to nations far and nigh:  
And touch them all thy holy word,  
that we may sing to thee.   

All 〈…〉 the Ternitie,  
that is of might 〈◊〉 most:  
〈…〉 and the Son,  
and eke the holy Ghost.  
As it hath been In all the time,  
that hath been here to lore.  
As it is now, and so shall be,  
hence forth for evermore.    

¶ Da Pacem Domine. G.  
Give peace in these our days O Lord great dangers are now at hand, thine enemies with one accord, Christ's name is every land, seek to de- face, root out and race, Thy true right worship in deed. Be thou the stay, Lord we thee pray thou helpest alone in all need.  

give us that peace, which we do lack,  
Through misbelie sand ill life:  
Thy word to offer thou dost not slack,  
Which we unkindly gainstrive.  
With fire and sword,  
This healthful word.  
Some persecute and oppress:  
Some with the 〈◊〉,  
Coufesse the truth,  
Without sincere godliness.   

give peace and us thy spirit down sand,  
With grief and repeats once true:  
Do pierce our hearts, our lives to amend,  
And by faith in Christ renew.  
That fear and dread,  
War and bloustshed,  
Through thy sweet mercy and grace:  
May from us slide,  
Thy truth abide,  
And shine in every place.    

¶ The Lamentation.  
O Lord in thee is all my trust, give ear unto ●y woeful cry: Refuse me not that am un- just, but bowing down thy heavenly eye, Behold how I do still lament my sins wherein I do of- fend: O Lord for them shall I be sheet: Sigh thee to please I do intent.  

Not, not not so thy will is bend,  
to deal with sinners in thine ire:  
But when in heart they shall repent,  
thou grantest with speed their just desire,  
To the● therefore still shall I cry,  
to wash away my sinful crime:  
Thy blood (O Lord) is not yet dry,  
but that it may help in tyme.   

East thee O Lord, hast thee I say,  
to pour on me the gifts of grace:  
That when this life must filled away,  
in heaven with thee I may have place,  
Where thou dost reign eternally,  
with God which once did down thee sand,  
Where Aungel● sing continually,  
to thee be praise world without end.    

¶ A thank of giving after the receiving of the lords Supper.  
¶ Sing this as the Cxxxvij. Psalm.  

THe Lord be thanked for his gifts,  
and mercies evermore:  
That he doth show unto his Saints,  
to him be laud therefore.  
Our toung●● can not so praise the Lord,  
as he doth right des●rne▪  
Our hearts can not of him so think,  
as he doth us preserve.   

His benefits they be so great,  
to us that be but sin:  
That at our hands for recompense,  
there is no hope to win.  
O sinful flesh that thou shouldst have,  
such mercies of the Lord:  
Thou dost deserve more worthily,  
of him to be abboud.   

Naught else but sin and wretch does,  
doth rest within our hearts:  
And stubbornly against the Lord,  
we daily play our parts.  
The Son above in firmament,  
that is to us a light:  
Doth show itself more clear and pure  
than we be in his sight.   

The heavens above, and all therein,  
more holy are then we:  
They serve the Lord in their estate,  
each one in his degree.  
They do not strive for master shy●●  
nor ●lacke their offic● let:  
But fear the Lord and do his will,  
hate is to them no let.   

Also the earth and all therein,  
of God it is in awe:  
It doth observe the formers will,  
by skilful nature's law.  
The Sea and all that therein is,  
doth bend when God doth beck●:  
The spirits beneath do tremble all,  
and fear his wrathful cherke.   

But we alas for whom all these,  
were made them for to rule:  
Do not so know or love the Lord,  
as doth the Ox or Mule,  
A law he gave for us to know,  
what was his holy will:  
He would us good but we will not  
avoid the thing is ill.   

Not one of us that seeketh out,  
the Lord of life to please:  
Nor do the thing that might us join  
to Christ and quiet ease.  
Thus we are all his enemies,  
we can it do not deny:  
And he again of his good will,  
would not that we should die.   

Therefore when remedy was none,  
to bring us unto life:  
The son of God, our flesh he took,  
to end our mortal strife.  
And all the law of God the Lord,  
he did it full obey:  
And for our sins upon the cross,  
his blood our dets did pay.   

And that we should not yet forget,  
what good he to us wrought:  
A ●igne be left our eyes to tell,  
that he our bodies bought.  
In bread and wine here visible,  
unto thine eyes and taste:  
His mercies great thou mayest record,  
if that his spirit thou hast.   

As once the corn did live and grow,  
and was cut down with fithe.  
And threshed out with many stripes,  
out of his busks to drive.  
And as the mill with violence,  
did tear it ou● so small:  
And made it like to earthly dust,  
not sparing it at all.   

And as the oven with fire hot,  
did close it up in heat:  
And all this done, that I have said  
that it should be our meat.  
So was the Lord in his ripe age,  
cut down with cruel death:  
His soul he gave in torments great,  
and yielded up his breath.   

Because that he to us might be,  
an everlasting bread:  
With much reproach and trouble great,  
on earth his life he led.  
And as the grapes in pleasant time,  
are pressed very sore:  
And 〈…〉,  
nor let to grow no m●●.   

Because the juice that in them 〈◊〉,  
as comfortable drink:  
We might receive, and joyful be,  
when sorrows makes us shrinks,  
So Christ's blood out pressed was,  
with nails and eke with spear:  
The i●yce whereof doth save all those,  
that rightly do him fear.   

And as the corns by unity,  
into one loaf is knit:  
So is the Lord and his whole Church,  
though he in heaven fit.  
As many grapes make but one wine,  
so should we be but one:  
In faith and love, in Christ above,  
and unto Christ alone.   

Leading a life without all strife,  
in quiet rest and peace:  
From envy and from malice both,  
our hearts and tongues to cease.  
Which if we do, then shall we show  
that we his chosen Bee:  
By faith in him to lead a life,  
as always willed be.   

And that we may so do in dead,  
God sand us all his grace:  
Th●● after death we shall be sure,  
with him to have a place.    

R. W.  
Preserve us Lord by thy dear word. From Turk and Pope defend us Lord. Which both would thrust out of his throne: Our Lord jesus Christ thy dear son.  

Lord jesus Christ show forth thy might,  
That thou art Lord of Lords by right:  
Thy poor assisted stock defend,  
That they may praise thee without end.   

God holy Ghost our comfortou●,  
Be our patron help and secure:  
give us one mind and perfect peace,  
All gifts of grace in us increase.   

Thou living God i● persons three,  
Thy name be praised in unity:  
In all our need so us defend,  
That we may praise thee world without end.

❧ A form of Prayers to be used every Morning and Evening.  

Morning Prayer.  
ALmighty God and most merciful Father 〈◊〉 do not present ourselves here before thy Majesty, trusting in our own merits or worthiness, but to thy manifold mercies which hast promised to hear our Prayers and grant our requests, which we shall make to thee in the name of thy beloved son jesus Christ our Lord: who hath also commanded us to assemble ourselves together in his name with full assurance that he will not only be amongst y● but also be our Mediator and advocate towards thy Majesty, that we may obtay ●e all things which shall seem expedient to thy blessed will, for our 〈◊〉 Therefore we beseech thee most merciful Father to turn thy loving countenance towards us, and 〈◊〉 not unto us our manifold sins and ofences, whereby we ●ustly deserve thy wrath and sharp punishment but rather recea●e us to thy mercy for I●su● Christ's sake, accepting his death and passion as a just recompense for all our offences, in whom ●●ely thou art pleased, and through whom thou canst not be offended with us. And seeing of thy great mercies, we have quietly passed this ●ight, grauman heavenly father that we nay bestow this day wholly in thy seru●●, so that all our thoughts, words, and deeds may redound to the glory of thy name and good ensample to all men, who seeing our good worker, may glorify thee our heavenly father. And for as much as of 〈◊〉 mere favour and love, thou hast not only created us to thine own similitude and 〈◊〉, but 〈◊〉 hast chosen us to be heirs with thy dear son jesus Christ of that immortal kingdom, which thou preparedst for us before the beginning of the world, we beseech thee to increase our faith and knowledge: and to lighten our ha●●e● with thy also spirit; that we may in the mean time live in Godly conversation; and integrity of life: knowing that Idolaters, Adulterers, Covetous men, 〈◊〉 our persons, drunkards, Gl●●●● 〈◊〉, and 〈…〉 shall not inherit the kingdom of God. And because thou hast commanded us to pray one for an other, we do● not only make request (O Lord) for ourselves, and for them that thou hast already called to the true understanding of thy heavenly will, but for all people and nations of the world, 〈◊〉 as they know by thy wonderful worke● that thou 〈◊〉 God, over all, so they may be instructed by thy holy spirit, to 〈◊〉 in thee their only 〈◊〉 and 〈◊〉. But for as much as they cannot be 〈…〉 hear, nor can hear but by preaching, and none can preach except they be sent: Therefore (O Lord) raise up faithful dist●ibuters of thy mysteries, who setting apar● all worldly respects, may both in their lyle and doctrine, only seek thy glory. Co●tr●ry●y confounded Satan, Antichrist, with all hirelings whom thou hast already cast of into a reprobate senses that they may not by sects schisms, heresies, and errors, disquiet thy little flock.  
And because (O Lord) we be fallen into the latter days and dangerous times, wherein ignorance hath gotten the upper hand, and Satan by his Ministers seek by all means to quench the light of thy Gospel: we beseech thee to maintain thy cause against those ravening Wolves, and strengthen all thy servants, whom they keep in prison and bondage. Let not thy long suffering be an occasion, either to increase their tyranny, or to discourage thy children, neither yet let our sins and wickedness be a hinderannce to thy mercies, but with speeile (O Lord) consider these great miseries. For thy people Israel many times by their sins provoked thine anger and thou punishedst them by thy just judgement yet though their sins were never so grievous, if they once returned from their iniquity, thou receivedst them to mercy:  
We therefore most wretched sinners bewail, our manifold sins, and earnestly repent us for our former wickedness and ungodly behaviour towards thee: whereas we cannot of ourselves purchase thy pardon, yet we humbly beseech thee, for jesus Christ's sake, to show thy mercies upon us, and receive us again to thy favour Grant us, dear Father, these our requeste● and all other things necessary for us and thy whole Church according to thy promise in jesus Christ our Lord. In whos● name we beseech thee, as he hath taught us saying: Our father etc.   

Evening prayer.  
O Lord God Father everlasting, and full of pit●e, we acknowledge and confess, that we be not worthy to lift up our eyes to heaven, much less to present ourselves before thy Majesty, with confidence's that thou wilt hear our prayers and grant our request if we consider our own deservings: for our consciences do accuse us, and our sins witness against us, and we know that thou art an upright judge, which dost not justify the sinners and wicked men: but punishest the faults of all such as transgress thy commandments. Yet most merciful Father, since it hath pleased th●e to command us to call on thee in all our troubles and adversities, promising even then to help us, when we feel ourselves as it were swallowed up of death and desperation, we utterly renounce all worldly confidence, and flee to thy sovereign bounty, as our only stay and refuge: beseeching thee, not to call to remembrance our manifold sin and wickedness, whereby we continually provoke thy wrath and indignation against us, neither our negligence and unkindness which have neither worthily esteemed, not in our lives sufficiently expressed the sweet● comfort of thy Gospel, revealed unto us that rather, to accept the obedience and death of thy son jesus Christ, who by offering up his body in sacrifice once for all, hath made a sufficient recompense for all our sins. Have mercy therefore upon us (O Lord) and fo●geue us our offences. Teach us by thy holy spirit, that we may rightly weigh them, and earnestly repent for the same. And so much the rather (O Lord) because that the reprobate and such as thou hast forsaken, can not praise thee, nor call upon thy name but the repenting heart, the sorrowful mind, the conscience oppressed ●●ungryng and thirsting for thy grace, shall ever set forth thy praise and glory. And albeit we he but worths and dust: yet thou art our creator, and we be the work of thy ha●des: yea thou art our Father, and we thy children, thou art our shepherd, and we thy ●ocke, thou art our redeeme● and we the people whom thou hast bought thou ●art our God, and we thine inheritannce. Correct us no● therefore in thine anger (O Lord) neither according to our deserts punish us ●ut mercifully chastise us with a fatherly affection, than all the world may know that at what time soever a sinner doth repent him of his sin, from the bottom of his heart, thou wilt put away his wickedness out of thy remembrance, as thou hast promised by thy holy Prophet.  
Finally for as much as it hath pleased thee to make the night for man to rest in (as thou hast ordained him the day to travel, grant (O dear● Father) that we may so take our bodily rest, that our souls may continually watch, for the time that our Lord jesus Christ shall appear for our deliverance out of this mortal life and in the mean season that we (not overcomen by any fantasies, dreams, or other temptations) may fully set our minds upon thee, love thee, fear thee, and rest in thee: furthermore that our sleep be not excessive or overmuch after the insatiable desires of our flesh: but only sufficient to content our weak nature, that we may be better disposed to live in all Godly conversation to the gl●ry of thy holy name, and profit of our brethren. S● be it.   

¶ A Godly prayer to be said at all times.  
Honour and praise be genen to thee (O Lord God almighty) most dear Father of heaven, for all thy mercies and loving kindness showed unto us, in that it hath pleased thy gracious goodness freely, and of thine own accord to elect and choose us to salvation before the beginning of the world, and even like continual thanks be given to thee for creating us after thine own Image, for redeeming us with the precious blood of thy dear son, when we were utterly lost, for sanctifying us with thy holy spirit in the revelation and knowledge of thy word for helping and succouring us in all our needs and necessities, for saving us from all dangers of body and soul, for comforting us so fatherly in all our tribulations and persecutions for sparing us so long and giving us so large a time of repentance. These benefits (O most merciful Father) like as we knowledge to have received them of thy only goodness, even so we beseech thee, for thy dear son jesus Christ's sake, to grant us always thy holy spirit, whereby we may continually grow in thankfulness towards thee, to be led into all truth, and comforted in all our adversities. O Lord, strengthen our faith, kindle it more in 〈◊〉 and love towards thee and our neighbours for thy sake. Suffer us not most dear Father, to receive thy word any more in vain: but grant us always the assistance of thy grace and holy spirit, that in heart, word and deed we may sanctify and do worship to thy name. Help to amplify and increase thy kingdom, and what soever thou sendest, we may be heartily well content with thy good pleasure and will: Let us not lack the thing (O Father) without the which we can not serve thee, but bless thou so all the works of our hands that we may have sufficient, and not to be chargeable, but rather helpful unto others be mercy full (O Lord) to our offences, and seeing our debt is great, which thou hast forgiven us in jesus Christ, make us to love thee and our neighbours so much the more. Be thou our Father our Captain and defender, in all temptations, hold thou us by thy merciful hand, that we may be elivered from all inconuenienees, and end our lives in the sanctifing and honour of thy, holy name, through jesus Christ our Lord, and only 〈…〉  
Let thy mighty hand and out 〈…〉 Lord) he still out defence, thy mercy and 〈◊〉 kindness in jesus Christ thy dear son our salvation: thy true and holy word our instruction: thy grace and holy spirit our comfort and consolation, unto the end and in the end. So be it.  
O Lord increase our faith.   

¶ A confession of all estates at all times.  
O Eternal God and most merciful Father, we confess, and acknowledge, here before thy divine majesty, that we are miserable sinners, conceived and borne in sin and iniquity, so that in us there is no goodness. For the flesh evermore rebelleth against the spirit, whereby we continually transgress thy holy Precepts, and commandments, and so purchase to ourselves through 〈◊〉 just judgement, death and damnation. Notwithstanding (O heavenly Father) for as much a● we are displeased with ourselves for the sins that we have committed against thee, and do unfeignedly repent us of the same: we most humbly beseech thee for jesus Christ's sake, to show thy mercy on us to forgive us all our sins, and to increase thy holy spirit in us: that we acknowledging from the bottom of our hearts, our own righteousness, may from hence forth not only mortify our sinful lusts and affections, but also bring forth such fruits: as may be agreeable to thy most blessed will, not for the worthiness thereof, but for the merits of thy dearly beloved son jesus Christ our only Saviour whom thou hast already given an oblation, and offering for our sins and for whose sake we are certainly persuaded, that thou wilt deny us nothing, that we shall ask in his name according to thy william. For thy spirit doth assure our consciences that thou art our merciful Father, 〈◊〉 so lowest us thy children through him, that nothing is 〈…〉 thy heavenly grace and favour from us: to thee therefore (O Father) with the son and the holy Ghost be all honour and glory, world without end. So be it.   

¶ A prayer to be said before a man begin his work.  
O Lord God most merciful Father and Saviour seeing it hath pleased thee to command us to travel that we may relieve our need, we beseech thee of thy grace so to bless our labour that thy blessing may extend unto us, without the which we are not able to continued, and that this great favour may be a witness unto us of thy bonntyfulnesse and assistance, so that thereby we may know the fatherly care that thou hast over us. moreover (O Lord) we beseech th●e that thou wouldst strengthen us with thine holy spirit: that we may faithfully travel in our estate and vocation without fraud, or deceit, & that we may endeavour ourselves to follow thine holy ordinance, rather than to seek to satisfy our greedy affections or desire to gain. And if it please the● (O Lord) to prospero our labour give us a mind also to help them that have need, according to that ability that thou of thy mercy shalt give us, and knowing that all good things come of thee, grant that we may humble ourselves to our neighbours, and not by any means lift our sel●●● up above them which have not received so large a portion as of thy mercy thou hast given us. And if it please thee to try and exercise us by greater poverty & need the our flesh would desire: that thou wouldst yet O Lord grant us grace to know that thou wilt nourish us continually through thy bountiful liberality, that we be not so tempted that we fall into distrust, but that we may patiently way● till 〈…〉 ●on to rest upon thy mercie●. Hear us O Lord of 〈◊〉 through jesus Christ thy sonn● our Lord, Amen.   

A Prayer for the whole state of Christ's Church.  
ALmighty God and most merciful father, we humbly submit ourselves, & fall down before thy majesty, beseeching thee from the bottom of our hearts, that this seed of thy word now sown amongst us, may take such deep root, that neither the burning heat of persecution cause it to wither, neither the thorny cares of this life choke it, but that as seed sown in good ground, ●t may bring forth thirty, sixty, and an hundredth fold, as thy heavenly wisdom hath appointed. And because we have need continually to crave many things at thy bands, we humbly beseech thee (O heavenly Father) to grant us thy holy spirit, to direct our petitions that they may proceed from such a fervent mind as may be agreeable to thy most blessed william. And seeing that our infirmity is able to do nothing without thy help, and that thou art not ignorant with how many and great temptations we poor wretches are on every side enclosed and compassed: let thy strength O Lord sustain our weakness, that we being defended with the force of thy grace, may be safely preserved against all assaults of Satan, who goeth about continually like a roaring Lion seeking to devour us. Increase our faith, O merciful Father, that we do not swerver at any time from thy heavenly word, but augment in us hope, and love, with a careful keeping of all thy commandments, that no hardness of heart, no hypocrisy, no concupiscence of the eyes, nor enticements of the world, do draw us away from thy obedience. And seeing we live now in these most perilous times, let thy fatherly providence defend us against the violence of our enemies, which do seek by all means to oppress thy truth.  
Furthermore for as much as by thy holy Apostle we be taught to make our prayers and supplications for all men, we pray not only for ourselves here present, but beseech thee also to reduce all such as be yet ignorant, how the miserable captivity of blindness and error, to the pure understanding and knowledge of thy heavenly truth that we all with one consent and unity of mind may worship thee our only God and Saviour. And that all Pastors, shepherds, Ministers to whom thou hast committed the dispensation of thy holy word, and charge of thy chosen people, may both in their life and doctrine be found laithfull, setting before their eyes thy glory, and that by them all poor sheep which wander and go astray, may be gathered and brought home to thy fold.  
Moreover, because the hearts of rulers are in thy hands, we beseech thee to direct, and govern the hearts of all Kings, Princes, and Magistrates, to whom thou hast committed the sword: especially (O Lord) according to our bou●den duty we beseech thee to maintain and increase the honourable estate of the Queen's Majesty and all her most noble Counsellors, and Magistrates, and all the whole body of this common weal. Let thy Fatherly favour so preserve them, and thy holy spirit so govern their hearts, that they may in such so●t exercise their office, that thy Religion may be purely maintained, manners reformed, and sin punished, according to the precise rule of thy holy word. And for that we be all members of the mystical body of jesus Christ, we make our requests unto thee (O heavenly Father) for all such as are afflicted with any kind of cr●sse, or tribulation, as war, plague, famine, sickness, poverty, imprisonment, persecution, banishment, or any other kind of thy rods, whether it be of calami●le of body, or vexation of mind, that it would please thee to ge●e them patience, and constancy, till thou sand them full deliverance of all their troubles, root out from hence (O Lord) all ravening Wolves, which to fill their bellies, seek to destroy thy flock. And show thy great mercies upon those our brethren in other countries, which are persecuted, cast into prison, and daily condemned to death, for the testimony of thy truth. And though they be utterly destitute of all man's aid, yet let thy sweet comfort never departed from them, but so inflame their hearts with thy holy spirit, that they may boldly and cheerfully abide such trial as thy Godly wisdom shall appoint. So that at length as well by their death, as by their life, the kingdom of thy dear soon jesus Christ, may increase and shine through all the world. In whose name we make our humble petitions unto thee as he hath taught us, saying.  
Our Father which art in heaven. etc.   

¶ An other prayer of the same made by I Fox.  
LOrd jesus Christ, son of the living God, who was crucified for our sins and didst rise again for our justification, and ascending up to heaven, reignest now at the right hand of thy Father, with full power and authority ruling and disposing all things according to thine own gracious and glorious purpose: we sinful creatures, & yet servants, & members of thy Church, do prostrate our selves and our prayers before thy Imperial Majesty, having no other 〈◊〉 nor advocate to speed our suits, or to resort unto but thee alone, beseeching thy goodness to be good to thy poor Church militant here in this wretched earth, sometimes a rich Church, a large Church, an universali Church, spread far and wide through the whole compass of the earth, now driven into anarrow corner of the world, and hath much need of thy gracious help. First the Turk with his sword, what lands, nations, and countries, what Empires, King domes, and Provinces with Cities innumerable hath he won, not from us, but from thee? Where thy name was wont to be invocated, thy word preached, thy Sacraments administered, there now reigneth barbaron; Mahumet, with his filthy Alcoran. The flourishing Churches in Asia, the learned Churches of Grecia, the manifold Churches in Africa which were wont to serve thee, now are gone from thee. The seven Churches of Asia, with their candlesticks (whom thou didst so well forewarn) are now removed. All the Churches where thy diligent Apostle S. Paul, thy Apostle Peter, and john, and other Apostles so laboriously travailed, preaching and writing to plant thy Gospel, are now gone from thy Gospel. In all the kingdom of Syria, Palestina, Arabia, Persia, in all Armenia, and the Empire of Capadoc●, through the whole compass of 〈◊〉, with Egypt, and with Africa also (unless amongst the ●arre Ethiopians some old steps of Christianity pera●●●enture yet do remain) either else in all Asia and Africa, thy Church hath not one foot of free land, but all is turned either to infidelity, or to captivity, what soever pertaineth to thee. And if Asia and Africa only were decayed, the decay were great, but yet the defection were not so universal. Now in Europa a great part also is shrunk from thy Church. All Thracia with the Empire of Constantinople, all Grecia, Epyru●, Illyricum, and now of la●● all the kingdom almost of Hungaria, with much of Austria, with lamentable slaughter of Christian blood is wasted and all become Turks:  
Only a little angle of the West parts yet remaineth 〈…〉 of thy name. But here, 〈…〉 cometh an other mischief as great, or greater than 〈◊〉 other. For the ●urke with his sword is not so cruel, but the Bishop of Rome on the other side is more fierce and bitter against us, stirring up his Bishops to burn us, his confederates to conspire our destruction, setting Kings against their subjects, and subjects 〈◊〉 to rebel against their Princes, and all for thy na● 〈◊〉 Such dissension and hostility Satan hath set among it us, that Turks be not more enemies to Christians, than Christians to Christians, Papists to Protestants: yea Protestants with Protestants do not agreed, but fall out for trifles. So that the poor little flock of thy Church distressed on every side, hath neither rest without, nor peace within, not place almost in the world, where to abide, but may cry now from the earth, even as thine own reverence cried once from thy Cross: My God, My God, why hast thou forsaken me?  
Amongst us English men here in England, after so great storms of persecution, and cruel murder of so many Martyrs, it hath pleased thy grace to give us these Al●toa days, which yet we enjoy, and beseech thy merciful goodness still they may continued. But here also, alack, what should we say? So many enemies we have that e●●ie us this rest and trauquillitie, and do what they can to disturb it. They which be friends and lovers of the Bishop of Rome, although they eat the fat of the land, and have the best preferments and offices, and live most at ease, and ail nothing: yet are they not therewith content. They grudge, they mutter and murmur, they conspire and take on against us. It fretteth them that we live by them or with them, and can not abide that we should draw the bore breathing of the air, when they have all the most liberty of the land, And albeit thy singular goodness hath given them a Queen so calm, so patient, so merciful, more like a natural mother than a Princes, to govern over them, such ●s neither they nor thei● ancestors e●er read of in the stories of this land before: yet all this will not calm them: their unquiet spirit is not ye● 〈◊〉: they repined and rebel, and needs would have, with the Frogs of Elope, a Ciconia, au Italian stranger, the Bishop of Rome, to play Rex over them, and ca●e not if all the world were set on fire so they with their Italian Lord might reign alone. So fond are we English men of strange and foreign things: so unnatural to ourselves: so greedy of new fangle novelties, never contented wit● any state long to continued, be it never so good: and furthermore so cruel one to an other, that we think our life not quiet unless it be seasoned with the blood of other. For that is their hope, that is all their gaping and looking, that is their golden day, their day of Jubilee, which they thirst for somuch: not to have the Lord to come in the clouds, but to have our blood, and to spill our lives.  
That that is it which they would have, and long since would have had their wills upon us, had not thy gracious pity and mercy raised up to us this our merciful Queen, thy servant ELIZABETH, somewhat to stay their fury. For whom as we most condignly give thee most hearty thanks, so likewise we beseech thy heavenly Majesty, that as thou hast given her unto us, and hast from so manifold dangers preserved her before she was Queen: so now in her Royal estate, she may continually be preserved, not only from their hands, but from all malignant devices wrought, attempted, or conceived of enemies, both ghostly and bodily against her. In this her government be her governor we beseeth thee: So shall her Majesty well govern us, if first she be governed by thee. Multiply her reign with many days, and her years, with much fel●citie, with abundance of peace, and life ghostly. That as she hath now doubled the years of her sister, and brother so (if it be thy pleasure) she may over 〈…〉.  
And because no government can long 〈◊〉 without good Counsel: neither can any Counsel be good except it be prospered by thee, bless therefore we beseech thee, both her Majesty and her honourable Counsel, that both they rightly may understand what is to be done, and she accordingly may accomplish that they do Counsel, to thy glory, and furtherance of thy Gospel, and public wealth of this Realm.  
Furthermore, we beseech thee, Lord jesus (who with the Majesty of thy generation, dost drown all Nobility, being the only son of God, heir and Lord of all things) bless the Nobility of this Realm, and of other Christian Realms, so as they Christianly agreeing among themselves, may submit their Nobility to serve thee, or else let them feel (O Lord) what a frivolous thing is that Nobility which is without the●.  
Likewise to all Magistrates such as be advanced to authority, or placed in office, by what name or title soever give we beseech thee, a careful conscience, uprightly to discharge their duty, that as they by public persons to serve the common wealth, so they abuse not their office to their private gain, nor private revenge of their own affections, but that justice being administered without bribery, and equity balanced without cruelty or partiality, things that be amiss may be reformed, vice abandoned, truth supported, innocency relieved, God's glory maintained, and the common wealth truly served.  
But especially to thy spiritual Ministers, Bishops, and Pastors of thy Church, grant we beseech thee (O Lord Prince of all pasto●●) that they following the steps of thee, of thy Apostles, and holy Martyrs, may seek those things which be not their 〈◊〉, but only which be thine: not caring how many benefices, nor what great Byshopprikes they have, 〈◊〉 well they can guide, those they have. give them such ●eale of thy Church, as may devour them, and grant them such salt, wherewith the whole people may be seasoned, and which may never be unsavoury, but quicken daily by thy holy spirit, whereby thy flock by them may be preserved.  
In general give to all the people▪ and the whole state of this Realm such brotherly 〈◊〉 in knowledge of thy truth, and such obedience their Superiors, as they neither provoke the scourge of God 〈◊〉 them, nor their Prince's sword to be 〈◊〉 against her will, out of the scabbard of long sufferennce, where it hath been long hid. Especially give thy Gospel long sustenance amongst us. And if 〈…〉 the contrary grant we beseech thee, with an earnest repentance of that which is past, to join ●●arty purpose of amendment to come.  
And forasmuch as the Bishop of Rome is wont on every Good friday to accurse v● as damned her 〈…〉 we here curse not him, but pray for him, that he with all his partakers either may be turned to a better truth, or else, we pray thee (gracious Lord) that we never agreed with him in doctrine, and that he may so 〈◊〉 us still, and never bless us more as he blessed us in Queen mary's time. God of his mercy keep away that blessing from us.  
Finally, in stead of the Pope's Blessing, give us thy blessing Lord we besee●● thee, and conserve the peace of thy Church, and course of thy blessed Gospel. Help● them-that be needy, and afflicted. Comfort them that labour and be heavy laden. And above all things continued and increase our faith. And for as much as thy poor little flock can fierce have any place or rest in this world, come Lord we beseech thee with thy Factum est, and make an end, that this world may have no more time nor place here, and that thy Church may have rest for ever. Our Father which art in heaven. etc.   

A Prayer, against the devil and his manifold temptations made by S. Augustine.  
THere wanted a tempter, and thou wa●● the cause that he was wanting: there wanted time and place, and thou 〈◊〉 the cause that they wanted. The tempter was present, and there wanted neither place nor time: but thou beldst me back that I should not consent. The tempter came full of darkness as he is: and thou didst hearten me that I might despise him. The tempter came armed and strongly: but to the intent he should not overcome me, thou did dost restrain him and strengthen me. The tempter came transformed into an angel of light: and to the intent he should not deceive me, thou didst rebuke him: and to the intent I should know him, tho● didst enlighten me. For he is that great read dragon the old Serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which hath seven heads and ten bornes, whom thou hast created to take his pleasure in this ho●g● and broad sea, wherein there creep living wights innumerable, and beasts great and small, that is to say divers sorts of fiends, which practise nothing else day 〈◊〉 night, but to go about seeking whom they may devour, except thou rescue him O Lord jesus. For it is, that old dragon which was bread in the paradise of pleasure, which draweth down the third part of the Stars of heaven with his tail, and casts them to the ground, which with his ve●● poisoneth the waters of the earth that as many men as drink of them may die, which trampleth upon gold as if it were mire, and 〈◊〉 of opinion that jordan shall shall run into his mouth, and which is made of such a mould as he feareth not man.  
And who shall save us from his chaps O Lord jesus? Who shall pluck us out of his mouth saving thou O Lord, who hast broken the heads of the great Dragon? Help us Lord. Spread out thy wings over us O Lord, that we may flee under them from the face of this Dragon that pursueth us: and fence thou us from his horns, with thy shield. For this is his continual endeavour, this is his only desire to devour the souls which thou hast created.  
And therefore we cry unto thee our God, deliver us from our daily adversary, who whether we sleep or wake, whether we eat or drink, or whether we be doing of any thing else, presseth upon us by all kind of means, assaulting us day & night with trains and policies, and shooting his venomous arrows at us, sometime openly▪ and sometime privily to sles our souls.  
And yet such is our great madness O Lord, in that whereas we see the Dragon continually in a readiness to devout us with open mouth: we nevertheless do sleep and riot in our own slothfulness, as though we were out of his danger, who desireth nothing else but to de●rey us. Our mischievous enemy▪ to the intent to kill us, watcheth continually, and never sleepeth, and yet will not we wake from sleep, to save ourselves. 〈◊〉 he hath pitched infinite 〈…〉 our seek, and ●●lled all our ways with 〈…〉, to catch oursoules. And who can escape 〈…〉 so many and so great dangers? He hath jesus for us in our riches, in our poverty, in ou● 〈…〉, in our pleasures, in our sleep, and in 〈…〉 set snares for us in our word 〈…〉 all our life. But thou O Love, 〈…〉 of the soulers, and 〈…〉 give praise to 〈…〉 Lord, who hath 〈…〉 pray for their teeth: 〈…〉 as sparrow 〈…〉 net, the net 〈…〉 and we 〈◊〉.
