3 Go too therefore ye foolish Men, Depart from me, Be gone; For God's good Precepts we'll obey, Nay, keep them every one.
3 Go too therefore ye foolish Men, Depart from me, Be gone; For God's good Precepts we'll obey, Nay, keep them ev'ry one.
4 What thou hast promised, Lord, perform, Till Death doth seize on me; Ne'er let my hope abuse me so As to distrust in thee.
4 What thou hast promis'd, Lord, perform, Till Death doth seize on me; Ner'e let my hope abuse me so As to distrust in thee.
5 Uphold me and I shall be safe For ought they do or say, And in thy Statutes pleasure take, O Lord, both night and day.
6 Thou hast trod such under thy feet Who do thy Statutes break; For nought avails their subtlety, Their counsel is but weak.
