Niet jn hem Selfs moet sich de Arme mensch behaegen
Maer jn sijn Godt. en die waerdich int herte draegen,
Die hem herbaert, en leert sijn quae begeerten doôn,
Om te ver-Eenigen met Cristo Synen Soon.
O wel gheluckich Mensch! daer Godt jn bouwt sijn Tempel
Vliet, schuwt, ontwijckt, de plaets: die v door quaet Exempel
Mocht troonen tot het quaet; en locken t'kitlich oor,
Tot nieuwicheijt. Maer geeft jnt minst doch geen ghehoor.

Non pas en soy faut que se glorifie,
Mais en son Dieu, cil qui le porte au cœur,
Qui le reforme, enseigne & mortifie,
Pour le conioindre à son fils seul Seigneur.
L'homme à qui Dieu aura fait cest honneur
De le choisir pour en faire son temple,
Fuye tous lieux remplis de deshonneur,
Qu'induict ne soit à mal par tel exemple.

GLORIFICATE ET PORTATE¹

lxiiij.
Si quisquam puro concepit pectore Christum,
Hic secum tacitus gaudeat, inque sinu:
Deuitetque locos, virtus vbi spreta iacebit,
Vnde nisi, rediens, turpior esse potest.

...

Glorify and carry.

If anyone conceives of Christ with pure heart,
May he rejoice by himself in silence, and in his bosom.
And may he avoid places, where virtue will lie down spurned,
From where he can only return the worse.
