The Conuercyon of swerers(The Conversion of Swearers)
Insacyately do beholde my face

 Regarde no Ioye of the erthly consystory

For lyke as Phebus dothe the snowe relente

So passeth the Ioyes of the worlde transytory

Tyme renneth fast tyll worldly lyfe be spente

Consyder this in your entendemente

Blessed be they that my worde do here

And kepe it well, for they are to me dere

 Therfore good brederne your hertes enclyne

To loue and drede me that am omnipotent

Bothe god and man in Ioye celestyne

Beholde my body all to torne and rente

With your spytefull othes cruell and vyolent

I loue you ye hate me ye are to harde herted

I helpe you ye tere me lo how for you I smerted

 Mercy and peace dyde make an vnyte

Bytwene you and me but trouthe & ryghtwysnesse

Do nowe complayne byddynge my godheed se

How that ye breke the lege of sothfastnesse

They tell me that by Iustyce doubtelesse
