LORD! WHO SHALL DWELL IN THY BRIGHT TENT WITH THEE
And of Thy rest in heauen pertaker bee?
Euen hee that is vpright in all his wayes[188]
And from his hart speakes[189] truth in all hee sayes;
Who hath forborne to doe his neighbour wrong
Nor him deceau'd or slaunderèd with his tong;
Who of himselfe an humble thought doth beare
But highly valewes them which GOD doe feare;
Who of his promis doth himselfe acquitt,
Though losse hee suffer by performinge it;
Nor hath for bitinge vse his monie lent,
Nor tooke reward against the innocent;
Who shall obserue these poynts, and doe them all,
Assuredly that man can neuer fall.
