¶ Ecce quam bonum. Psalm. cxxxiii. VV. VV.

☞ This psalme conteyneth the commendation of godly and brother: therly amitie, which for thexcellencye therof is compared to the most pretious oyle, wherwith the Priestes only and instruments of the tabernacle wer annoynted, Exodus. xxx.

O How happye a thyng it is, * 1.1 and ioyfull for to see: Brethern together fast to holde, the bande of amitie. [verse 2] It callth to minde that swete perfume, and that costly oyntment: Which on the sacrifisers head, by Gods precept was spent.
It wet not Aarons head alone, but drencht his beard throughout: And finally it did runne down, his ritche attire about. [verse 3] And as the lower ground doth drynke, the dew of Hermon hill: And Sion with his siluer droppes, the fields with fruite doth fill.
[verse 4] Euen so the Lorde doth poure on them, his blessings manifold: Whose hartes and myndes without all guile, this knot doo kepe and hold.
