Now have I tasted how sweet the Lord is / how easy / and pleasant his burden is. I remember what peace and tranquillity of mind I was in / when I joyed in god. And rejoiced in Christ my Lord and saviour / therefore am I now in more sorrow / for I know what goodness.
Now haue I tasted how swete the Lorde is / how easye / and pleasaunte hys burthen is. I remember whate peace and tranquilite of mynde I was in / when I ioyed in god. And reioysed in Chryst my Lorde and sauyoure / therfore am I now in moare sorow / for I know what goodnes.
And commodylye I have lost / therefore ⟨image 123⟩will I cry more importunately: Make me again to rejoice in thy saving health restore me again that thing which my sins have lost. Restore me that which through my fault is perished in me. Restore me (I beseech thee for his sake that ever is on thy right hand and maketh intercession for us) thy gracious favour / that I may perceive that through him thou art pacified towards me / that it may be as a seal upon my heart / and that I may say with the Apostle Paul Gala. ij. I am crucified with Christ / I live verily / yet now not I / but Christ liveth in me.

I am crucefyed with Chryst / I lyue verelye / yet now not I / but Chryst lyueth in me.
