WRetthed are they (O Lord) to whom thy daysun goeth down, I meane that sonne of thine which ne∣uer setteth to thy saints, but is always at the noonpoint with thē, euer bright, and euer shining. A droopy night ouer dreépeth the minds of them euen at hie noontide, which depart from theé. But vnto them that are conuersant with theé, it is continually cleére daylight. This daysun that shineth in the skye, goeth and commeth by turnes: But thou (if we loue theé in deéd) doest neuer goe away frō vs. O that thou wouldst remoue away this impediment of sin from vs, that it might alwayes be day light in our harts, Amen.
