IN all those thinges I sought rest: and in some mannes inheritaunce wolde ha¦ue* 1.1 dwelt. Then the creator of all thyn∣ge commaunded and sayde vnto me: & he that
created me dyd set my tabernacle at rest and sayd vnto me / dwell in Iacob and have thyne inheritaunce in Israel / and rote thy selfe amō¦ge myne elect. From the begynnynge and be∣fore the worlde was I created / and vnto the worlde to come / will I not cease: and before him have I mynistred in the holye habitacion And soin Sihon was Isettled / & in the holye citie lykwyse I rested / and in Ierusalem was my power. And I roted my selfe in an honou¦rable people / which are the lordes parte / and he their inheritaunce: and amonge the multi∣tude of sayntes I helde me fast. As a Cedar tree was I lyfte vp in libanon / and as a Cy∣pers tree in mounte Hermon. As a palme tree was I exalted in Cades / and as roseplantes in Iericho. As a bewtifull olyue tree in the fel¦des / and and as a plantayne tree was I exal∣ted vpon the waters. In ye stretes I gaue an odoure as synamon & balme ye smelleth well / & gaue an odoure of swetnes as perfect myrre.
