The Spouse to the Younglynges lvii.
AL worldly thynges I vtterly reiect:
All meanes of men to health I do detest:
Jn Christe alone, my spouse, my Loue elect,
I rest in rest, in hym in whome is rest
For all that are wery.
Whole his I am both body, soule, and lyfe,
He is my Loue, my sauiour, and my helth:
And he is pleasde with me, as with his wyfe,
To whome he turnes (ye faythfull) for your welth,
Vs all to make mery.
