The Vertuous, liue well for Vertues sake; the Vicious, for feare of Punishment

THree things, in Iudgement, haue obserued bin,
to wok with wicked ones, shame, griefe, & feare:
And yet without shame, griefe, or feare, they sinne,
till Iudgement (strict) beginneth to appeare.

If Iudgement then, haue force t'extort these three;
they haue no Iudgement, that will not preuent
This sore Extortion, with an easie fee;
that is, liue well; if not, then, well repent.

But are these two performed with such ease?
Gods Yake is easie, and his burden light:
And such as cannot well away with these,
can neyther liue well, nor repent aright:
But if they cannot, much lesse can they beare,
What Iudgement wil extort, shame, griefe, & feare.
