| Birds sing beasts feed fish leap and th' earth stands fast | L |
| Above are restless motions running lights | M |
| Vast circling azure giddy clouds days nights | M |

| When seasons change then lay before thine eyes | N |
| His wondrous method mark the various scenes | O |
| In Heaven hail thunder rainbows snow and ice | P |
| Calms tempests light and darkness by his means | O |
| Thou canst not miss his praise each tree herb flower | Q |
| Are shadows of his wisdom and his power | Q |
