| Now with what zest | G |
| He runs to find his errant wealth again | H |

| So unto men | H |
| Doth God depriving that He may bestow | I |
| Fame health and money go | I |
| But that they may new found be newly sweet | J |
| Yea at His feet | J |
| Sit waiting us to their concealment bid | K |
| All they our lovers whom His Love hath hid | K |

| Lo comfort blooms on pain and peace on strife | L |
| And gain on loss | M |
| What is the key to Everlasting Life | L |
| A blood stained Cross | M |
