Original text and translations

Latin text Elegi abjectus esse in domo Dei mei magis quam habitare in tabernaculis peccatorum quia misericordiam et veritatem diligit Deus gratiam et gloriam dabit Dominus.

English translation I have chosen to be an abject in the house of my God: rather then to dwel in the tabernacles of sinnes. Because God loveth mercie and truth: our Lord wil give grace and glorie. (Douay, 1610)
