The Collect.
MY soul to God shall give good heed and him lone attend: For why, my health and hope to speed doth whole on him depend.
6
He is my rock, my fort and tower, my health is of his grace: He doth support me, that no power can move me out of place.
8
O have your hope in him alway, ye folk with one accord: Pour out your hearts to him, and say, our trust is in the Lord.
9
¶The sons of men are vanity, so found, if they be waigh'd, Mean men a toy, great men a lie, if in the balance lay'd.
10
Trust not in robberie, wrong, and steal let vain desires be gone: Though goods well got flow in with weal set not your hearts thereon.
11
The Lord long since one thing did tell which here to minde I call: He spake it oft, I heard it well, that God alone doth all.
