Thy praise is a great thing o Lord / for it proceedeth out of thy fountain whereof no sinner drinketh. It is no glorious praise that cometh of a sinners mouth / deliver me therefore from blood (oh God) the god of my health & my tongue shall magnify thy righteousness. And then shalt thou lord open my lips & my mouth shall show forth thy praise / for thou hast the key of David which shuttest & no man openeth / & openest and no man shutteth / therefore open thou my lips as thou openedst the mouths of infants and sucklings / out of whose mouths thou hast stablished thy praise. These truly were thy Prophets / Apostles and other saints which have praised the with a single and pure heart & mouth / and not the Philosophers and orators which have said / We will magnify our tongue / our lips be in our own power / who is our god? They opened their own mouths / and thou openedst them not / nether yet stablishedst thy praise out of their mouths. Thy infants Lord praised thee and despised them selves.

Thy prayse is a greate thinge o Lorde / for it proceadeth out of thy foūtayne wherof no synner drinketh. It is no gloryous prayse that cometh of a synners mouth / deliuer me therfore frō bloude (oh God) the god of my helth & my tōgue shall magnifye thy rightwysenes. And thē shalt thou lorde open my lippes & my mouth shall shew forth thy prayse / for thou hast the kaye of Dauid which shettest & no mā openeth / & openest and no man shetteth / therfore open thou my lyppes as thou openedst the mouthes of infantes and suckelinges / out of whose mouthes thou hast stablyshed thy prayse. These trulye were thy Prophetes / Apostles and other sayntes which haue praysed the with a syngle and pure harte & mouth / and not the Phylosophers and oratoures which haue sayed / We wyll magnefye oure tongue / oure lyppes be in oure awne power / who is oure god? They opened their awne mouthes / and thou openedst them not / nether yet stablishedst thy prayse out of their mouthes. Thy infauntes Lorde praysed the and despysed them selues.
