The next time I him meet.
CHARITY. Sir, this he did for thee; When thou wast bond, he made thee free, And bought thee with his blood. YOUTH. Sir, I pray you tell me, How may this be: That I know, I was never bond Unto none in England. CHARITY. Sir, I shall tell you-- When Adam had done great trespass, And out of Paradise exiled was; Then all the souls, as I can you tell, Were in the bondage of the devil of hell, Till the Father of heaven, of his great mercy, Sent the Second Person in Trinity Us for to redeem, And so with his precious blood He bought us on the rood, And our souls did save. YOUTH. How should I save it, tell me now, And I will be ruled after you My soul to save. |
