First Line: From needing danger, to be good
Last Line: Our mutuall duties, lord deliver us.
First Line: From needing danger, to be good
Last Line: Our mutuall duties, lord deliver us.
From needing danger, to bee good,
From owing thee yesterdaies teares to day,
From trusting so much to thy blood,
That in that hope, wee wound our soule away,
From bribing thee with Almes, to excuse
Some sinne more burdenous,
From light affecting, in religion, newes,
From thinking us all soule, neglecting thus
Our mutuall duties, Lord deliver us.
