Al siet gy a geloofs genooten swerven, Om Christi naem, met kommer, angst en pijn, b'erlaten van haer huysgesin, en erven, En dolen, in een woest landt, en woestijn, En waer sy zijn, als vluchtelingen, woonen: Dewijl men haer een vast verblijf ontseydt. En vyer en swaerdt en galgh en radt gaet toonen, Met grimrlaigheydt tot hare doodt bereydt; Laet daerom niet a vyer'ge liefd' verkoelen, Al waeyt den Noorden windt,* van kruys en smaedt, Maer scherper wilt na 't faligh leven doelen, En op gebeen a ziel tot Godt verlaet: Want als de rose en lelye** in de doornen Opwassen, en alsoo ontcingelt staen; Soo Christi Kerek, en lieve uytverkoornen, Met druck en angst, oock somtijdts zinn belaen.

Self Godes Soon, sijas Vaders wel behagen, Die al 't geschep:n eygendont geniet; Heeft, in veel smaedt, een doorne kroon gedragen, En van sijn volck onlijdelijck verdriet; Die heeft a voor gegaen, en veel geleden, la den het kruys de seer vervloeckte doodt, Wilt hem dan op den Martel wegh na treden, En achten niet het lijden, druck, en noodt. Want als gy hebt des werelts smaedt, en schanden, En sonden drift, verwonnen heldelijck; Dan suit gy in het saligh leven landen, En wesen by Godts Heiden meldelijck:**** Wanneer haer Godt, met sael'ge glory meyen, En eeuw'ge vreught, en rijckdom, eer, en prael, Sal in 't Palleys der Heem'len binnen leyen, En wesen self haer loon, en bly onthael: Om dat sy t'saem de werelt niet en achten, En haer geloof bezegelden met bloedt: Een grondt, en steun, daer op gy meught verwachten Het Koningrijck vol eeuwigh blijvend goedt. Daerom, o Heer! leer! ons ons doen besinnen, Door middel van het Nieuw' herbondt, a Woordt; Dat wy a doch tot aen de doodt beminnen, En 's werelts korte vreught ons niet bekoordt; Want eeuwigh is soo tang! ja is onendigh!

Maer hebt, des niettemin, dit bloedigh offer werck, Met krancke, en swacke leen, ten dienste van Gods Kerck, Door onvermoeyde vlijt, en yver, dus beschreven.
