¶The Spouse to the Younglynges. xvi.
VNder my head my Loue hath layed His left hande of aduersitie, To proue yf J woulde be afrayed His truth moste true to testifie Continually. He suffereth men me to assayle To trye me oft and diuersly To see yf malice may preuayle To make me leaue hym peruersly, Continually Wherwith although I be afflict, In wurth I take all louyngly: Beyng for Christes sake addict To suffre al paynes wyllyngly, Continually. For God whan it shal please his grace, May turne my trust to victorie: For why his ryght hande wyll embrace His Churche with all prosperitie, Continually.
