The numbers are so infinite which now we wallow in But Zeuxes drew a vaile on that he wanted skill t'expresse So I for want of skill herein am forc'd to do no lesse And leaue vntoucht such cursed crimes as Christians blot with blame For which they doe right well deserue the shrowding sheet of shame Then let's consider the estate of wretched mortal life What cares crosses plagues paines what woes stormes of strife Attends thereon that wel's the man which soonest is from hence For while we liue we liuing die in sin and foule offence Our daies as holy Dauid saith in length are but a span Our time is like a blast of winde soone come and quickly gone The great reuenewes we possesse our wealth our friends and all We must forsake though nere so loth when pleaseth God to call Yet such is the condition of this vale of vaine delights It so bewitcheth all our thoughtes and rauisheth our sprights Whilst here we are that litle thought we haue of heauen or hell But feed our vaines like Epicures whilst we on earth do dwell This world is such a Syren sweet enchanting with her voice Her laies and warbling Lullabies our sleeping soules reioice Her pleasures rockes vs fast on sleep in cradle of security Whilst Sathan lurks in shape vnseene to take his opportunity O wayward wicked wanton world O gaping gulfe of griefe O sinke of sinne O sea of shame of miseries the chiefe O cursed Caos so confusde with heapes of hatefull sinne O Laborinth most intricate for turnings out and in Thy painted shewes are shadowes vaine which vanish with the Sun Thy greatest glory shall decay when mortall life is done Who trusts a broken staffe we see doe fall ere they be ware Who sowes his seed in mischiefes mould shall reape the crop of care What meane we then so much to make of such vncertaine trash Which at vnwares when least we ween wil leaue vs in the lash All these and thousands more such illes which in this world we find Are motiues which should mooue vs al an other world to mind That world where the triumphant Church from such extreams is free Where God in matchlesse glory raignes there should we long to be Where holy ones with heauenly hymmes do laud his blessed name Where Halleluiahes sweet are sung in honor of the same Where that which Paule could not expresse the same do there abound Where sweet of sweets wher blisse of blisse wher ioy of ioies are found Yea there ah there if once we were then should we happy be Til there we find this happinesse vnhappy stil are we Then let vs leaue this wretched world and cleaue vnto the Lord And turne from all our wicked waies in thought in deed aud word That God from vs may turne his plagues which we deserued haue That whilst we liue we so do liue that he our soules may saue That when our liues giue place to death then death may swallowed be Of life again in heauen to dwell with God in persons three In endlesse glory there to rest and that it so befall My heart my mind my tongue and lips doo pray Amen say all FINIS
