XC. A. W.

HATRED eternall, furious reuenging,

Mercilesse raging, bloody persecuting,

Scandalous speeches, odious reuilings,

Causelesse abhorring;

Impious scoffings by the very abiects,

Dangerous threatening by the priests anointed,

Death full of torment in a shamefull order,

Christ did abide here.

He that in glory was aboue the angels,

Changed his glory for an earthly carkasse,

Yeelded his glory to a sinfull outcast,

Glory refusing.

Me, that in bondage many sinnes retained,

He for his goodnesse—for his onely goodnesse—

Brought from hell-torments to the ioyes of heauen,

Not to be numbred:

Dead in offences, by his aide reuiued,

Quickned in spirit, by the grace he yeeldeth.

Sound then his praises, to the world’s amazement,

Thankfully singing.
