103. ¶ Posies for thine owne bed chamber

1
What wisdom more, what better life, than pleseth God to send?
what worldly goods, what longer vse, than pleseth God to lend?

2
What better fare than well content, agréeing with thy wealth?
what better gest, than trustie friend, in sicknes and in health?

3
What better bed than conscience good, to passe the night with sléepe?
what better worke than daily care fro sinne thy selfe to kéepe?

4
What better thought, than think on God and daily him to serue?
What better gift than to the poore that ready be to sterue?

5
What greater praise of God and man, than mercie for to shew?
who merciles shall mercie finde, that mercie shewes to few?

6
What worse despaire, than loth to die for feare to go to hell?
what greater faith than trust in God, through Christ in heauen to dwell?
