wise theyr Regent made dye ▪ Faith was forsaken and nothing set by Thus treason bereft me of my Sonne and mate So froward ly●t Lachas twist on my fate O people most peruerse stubborne and ill O Rebels ruthlesse and falsely forsworne What ment ye my Sonne and husband to kill Would God I wish it ye had neuer béene borne The death of your king first made me to mourne The spoyle of your regent my cares makes duble Woe worth you Rebels cheefe cause of my trouble To heauen I appeale in this mortall lyfe For these great iniuries vnto me done To you that skorne peace and glory in strife Gods vengaunce in tyme no doubt wyll be wone Through Europ de●ame sée that thou do rone To publish the actes of these Skots vntrew That theyr king and Regent thus did subdew Thinke you good Ladyes care cut not my hart Thinke you that these paines ransackt not my brest These murthers God knowes enlarged my smart And made me to waile when I should take rest In bed and at boorde my plaintes were exprest My sobs like larums to heauen I vp sent But patience perforce bad me be content At Hackney with me Lord Charles did abyde And wedded he was to a Lady full deare By whome God for my comfort lyst to prouide Young tender infant my hart for to cheare Arbella was named the young Lady fayre But death from me reft her Father my Sonne Whose losse to lament with teares I begonne Thus Fortune still bent my ioyes to diminish In this mortal lyfe my cares did augment But shortly after my turmoyles to finishe Sicknesse to tach me by Gods will was sent To whome for to yéelde me I was content On God I did build my fayth was most true Whose ayde I required my flesh to subdue Heauen was my hoape this world I did hate Swéete Christ was the Rock on whome I did gro●●d His death was sufficient I knew to abate His Fathers displeasure and cure the wound That Sathan through sinne to make in man found By his illusion the meane and high way To spoyl● vs of blysse and worke our decay But Iust was our God I cannot denye Condemned we were for Adames offence I know as iustice did lot vs to dye So mercy most milde should be our defence The séede of the woman a gem of excellence Was graunted of loue the Serpent to foyle Us to reuine that sinne sought to spoyle Which séede was swéete Christ the Sonne of God sure Who did for our sakes his essence imbace His conseption was holy his byrth most pure Such was the working of God by his grace Gods sacred spirit considering our ●ase Did light on a Uirgin by his diuine power Of whome was begotten Christ our sweet flower Flesh of her substaunce I knowe he did take And for our sakes he became perfect man Sinne onely except and thus for to make Our attonement with God of loue he began He quailed the boast and power of Sathan But as he was man marke well what I saye He was also God beléeue me ye maye For from his humanitie this thing is trew His Godhead diuine was not inseperate Christ God and man our welfare did renew From death by his death the trueth to relate He throughly beholding our wretched estate ●●ducst vs from death and brought vs from hell God graunt that in him we faythfull may dwell For he it is sure that hath done vs good Not for deserts but of loue by his grace Our sinnes are remitted in his déerest blood Our guile is forgotten and we in good case If firmely our hoape in heauen we do place If we on Christ builde and settle our trust His merites are ours he will make vs iust In health and in sicknesse I this did beléeue And euen tyll that death did finish my dayes No paine nor yet Crosse could my fayth reméeue For Christ my sweete Lorde his name I did praise Then learne God Ladyes to follow my wayes Hoape still for heauen this world is but vaine Let Christ your comfort in your hartes remaine And vnto your Quéene be trusty and kinde Her statutes and lawes obserue and obay Her bounty I wish you to bear still in minde For whose secure state to God do you pray Whose presence God sende you to the last day Then Brittaine shall prosper and florish with fame ▪ That so it may be saye amen to the same My sicknesse increasing my strength gan to fayle No Phisick could serue my health to restore For death against lyfe began to preuaile Such is the state of the ritch and the poore Learne to be reddy good Ladyes therefore Let fayth be your shielde with sinne for to striue Then lyfe euerlasting you shall atchieue In charity and loue my lyfe long I lead The pooreaas my guestes I dayly did féede But fayth h●th my ioyes in Iesus Christ bréede Who to his flocke doth watch and take héede He was my comfort in dainger and néede From death and decay the Lambe set me frée So great was his bounty showne vnto mée At Heackney to death my lyfe did I bende My soule to my Christ I ther did commit My body to clay did ioyfully wende Where it remaines tyll God thinke it fit My body and soule together to knit Where and in which time before the Iudge iust ▪ I shall be sanctified such is my trust And thus good Ladyes farewell and adew My race is full run my trauels haue ende As death in this lyfe my lyfe did subdew So death vnto you his footesteps will bende Regarde my sayinges thinke you on your freende For as I am gon
