1 I made a couenaunt with myne eyes: why then should I loke vpon a mayden? 2 For how great a portion shall I haue of God? and what inheritaunce from the almightie on hye? 3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and straunge punishement to the workers of iniquitie? 4 Doth not he see my wayes, and tell all my goynges? 5 If I haue walked in vanitie, or if my feete haue runne to disceaue: 6 Let me be wayed in an euen balaunce, that God may see myne innocencie. 7 If my steppe hath turned out of the way, & myne heart walked after myne eyes, and if any blot haue cleaued to my handes: 8 Then shall I sowe, and an other eate: yea my posteritie shalbe cleane rooted out.
