The sixt Flowre called a spiri∣tuall Song,
conteining 1 A petition for humilitie, and assi∣stance against our enimies. 2 For mercie and loue of Gods lawe. 3 For the leading of a good life.

AN humble heart, O God,vnto thy seruants giue,Be thou to them a louing Lord,whiles in this world they liue:Regard thy little flocke,be thou to them a sheeld,And thē defend frō greedie Wolues,least ouercome, they yeeld.

Haue mercie on vs all,
descriptionPage 263
whose waies most wicked are,And to the path of Paradise,our speedie steps prepare.Make vs to loue thy lawe,and therein to delight,For that is an oblationmost pleasant in thy sight.
3
Let me so leade my life,that what I thinke, or saie,Extend vnto the laud and praise,of thee (my God) alwaie.Make me an instrument,thine excellence to sound,In faith and in good works (O God)vouchsafe I may abound.Nothing, though high of price,and glorious to the eie,Grant mightie God frō thy preceptsmay drawe my feete awrie.
