The Example of VertuThe Example of Virtue
As fyrst to synne thynkynge that they

At the ende to the wyll be delyueraunce

Nay ryghtwysnes wyll dryue theym away

For of all synnes without delay

Suche synne in hope it is the moost

For it is the synne of the holy ghoost

 Now I amytte you into your rome

In the whiche ye shall your selfe apply

Of myn owne chaumbre ye shall be grome

Loke ye be dylygent and do not vary

From my cõmaundementes neuer specyally

For and ye wyll theym well obserue

A moche better rome ye do deserue

 The fyrst cõmaundement that I gyue the

Thynke on the ende or thou begynne

For thou by ryght may knowe the certente

That deth is fyne of euery synne

Be neuer taken in dyabolycall engyne

But that repentaunce may loose the sone
