Nether will I trust him the less / because I am wretched and poor / because I am rude and unlearned / because I am despised and lack possessions.
Nether will I trust hym thelesse / bycause I am wretched and poore / bycause I am rude and vnlerned / bycause I am dispised and lacke possessions.
Nether yet the less because I am a sinner for this my faith doth far pass / all things (as it is necessary & ought to do) what soever either be / or be not / both since and virtues & to be short / all things. So that she doth purely & holy fix her self in God only / as the first commandment teacheth and compelleth me.
Nether yet the lesse bicause I am a synner for this my faith doth sarre passe / al thīges (as it is necessary & ought to do) what soeuer eyther be / or be not / bothe synnes and vertues & to be short / all thinges. So that she doth purely & hoely fixe her self in God onely / as the first cōmaundement teachith and compellith me.
Nether desire I any sign to tempt him I trust faithfully unto him / all though he differ & tarry at his pleasure I will not set or prescribe to him any end / any time / measure or reason but I commit all to his will / with a pure faith and a stable. For he is almighty / what can I lack that he can not give and do unto me?
