A godly meditation composedA godlye medytacyon composed

Most thick & dark clouds do Cover our minds, except thy light (O Lord) do dispel them. Thy son (O most wise worker) is as it were a fire brand to the world, thy wisdom, whereby light cometh both to soul and body is a fire brand, to the spiritual world. After day when the night cometh, thou haste given for the remedy of darkness a candle After sin for the remedy of ignorance thou hast given thy doctrine ⟨image 23⟩which thy dear son hath brought unto us, O thou which art the Author and master of all trueth make us to see, by both the lights so that the dimness of our minds be driven clean away, lift upon us thy mirth in our hearts Thy word is a lantern to my feet & a light unto my paths. Think that the knowledge and wisdom, that god hath given unto us by the candles of this night, whereby we see those things in this night, of our bodies which are expedient for us, maketh us to wish much more for this doctrine of God, and when we get it, the more to esteem and diligently embrace it that as all would be horror without candles, so is there nothing but mere confusion where gods word taketh not place.

MOste thycke & darke cloudes doe Couer our myndes, except thy lyght (O Lord) do dyspell them. Thy son (O most wise worker) is as it were a fyer brande to the worlde, thy wysdome, wherby light commeth bothe to soule and bodye is a fyer brand, to the spirituall world. After daye when the night commeth, thou haste geuen for the remedy of darknes a cādle After syn for the remedy of ignorance thou hast geuē thy doctrine ⟨image 23⟩
