fyrmament he made as we nowe see And running sprynges of water pure commaunded for to be And when that he vnto the seas assygned a certayne place And willd the flouddes not to excede theyr bondes in anye case And when likewise the earth he made immoueable to stande I was wyth hym and to eche thynge dyd put myne helpinge hande I dyd reioyce and daye by day I dyd delyght in men Greate pleasure eke

emong the good where wisdome ledeth the daunce If than thou doest the skornefull mā admonishe to repent Thou doest nothing but work i vain for he wil not relent He yet amende his wicked life whereby he doth prouoke The iuste and euerlasting god to plage him with his stroke And in the same iniuriouse vnto thy selfe thou arte And wynneth hate for thy good wyl he setteth not a farte But if thou doste yea bytterlye rebuke hym that is wyse He wyll the loue and at no tyme thy good counsel despise The wyse man dothe aduertismente alwaye turne to the beste And by the same more ready is all vice for to deteste For who so doth the rightuous teach of this thynge may be sure He will make haste lerning to winne and therin wyll endure The feare of God the fyrste poynt is hys wysedome to obtayne Of
