Enforce thy selfe not onely for to stonde
Unuayn[…]uysshed agaynst the deuyls myght
But ouer that take valyauntly on hande
To vaynquysshe hym and put hym vnto flyght

As vayn glorye makyth many a man blynde
But let humylite be thy sure guyde
Thy good wark to god let hit be applyede
Thynke hit not thyn but a gyft of his
Of whose grace vndowtedly all goodnes is
