The Black Book, &c.

our wine, and our muſic, our fill and our full of carthly delights? O wretched creatures that we are! Who ſhall deliver us from this death, theſe miſerable torments? Wo unto us! we have rewarded evil to our own ſouls, we are baniſhed for ever from the preſence of the Lord, and have utterly loſt that inward peace of conſcience, the want whereof, addeth torments to our torments, and maketh us in our miſeries more exceedingly miſerable. Now the Lord give every one of us this peace, this joy; the which, that we may all have, the peace of God, which paſſeth all underſtanding, keep our hearts and minds in the love and knowledge of Jeſus Chriſt; and waſh and purge our conſciences from dead works, that we may ſerve the living God. Which that we may all do, the grace of our Lord Jeſus Chriſt be with us all. Amen.

Take heed to yourſelves what conſcience you have,
For conſcience will damn, and conſcience will ſave.

FINIS.
