As cherfull brid-grome in his nuptial state 
Or actiue men to race wt ioy Come out 
From East to West so runs he at that raite 
Till his cirquitt rownd he’as gone about 
All parts euen to the wide Earths extreames 
Both light & heat takes from his radent beames 
Thy law 6 Lord to soules perfection giues 
They that are simple by thy words made wise 
They shall reioyce who in thy precepts lues 
Thy Statutes pure inlighten’s the blind eyes 
To feare the Lord will vs preserue for euer 
Whos iudgments true & rightious altogether 
More sweete then honny yea or gold refin’d 
Thy seruants setts them att a hier prise 
They great rewards in keeping them do find 
But 0 alas who ist his errors spies 
My faults vnseene 0 let ther none remaine 
From bold-fac’d sins thy seruant Lord restraie 
O let not sin wt» it’s tyranick might 
Ere gitt a iuri[s|diction ouer mee 
So in my soule shall I then be vpright 
And from the great transgression guiltless be 
So shall my words & thoughts acceptance find 
Wt thee my strength redeemer of man-kind

How can I want the Lord my sheapard seemes 
Who to the verdant pasturs leads me outt 
By flowry bankes wher waters gently streams 
My soule he doth refresh he sets my foot 
In paths of truth & eaqual Justice both 
This only for his owne name sake he doth 
Al Though I through death|s|] shady vale doe goe 
No terrors ther shal makes me yitt affraid 
His rods my guide his staff my strength also 
Before myn foes my table he doth spread 
Wt oyle my head full cups my hart doth chere 
Him in his house for euer Ile serue ther
