¶ Clasping of hands.
LOrd, thou art mine, and I am thine,If mine I am: and thine much more,Then I or ought, or can be mine.Yet to be thine, doth me restore;So that again I now am mine,And with advantage mine the more.Since this being mine, brings with it thine,And thou with me dost thee restore.If I without thee would be mine,I neither should be mine nor thine.
Lord, I am thine, and thou art mine:So mine thou art, that something moreI may presume thee mine, then thine.For thou didst suffer to restoreNot thee, but me, and to be mine:And with advantage mine the more,Since thou in death wast none of thine,Yet then as mine didst me restore.O be mine still! still make me thine!Or rather make no Thine and Mine!
