Dein leben Lang [text breaks off]
Was Mich auf dieser welt \ betrübt es wählret kurze Zeit, \ was aber meine Seele liebt \ Es bleibt in Ewigkeit Drum \ fahr o welt mit Ehr und geld \ in dieser wohhlust hier im Creutz \ und Gott kann mier mein Gott Erquicken \ muth und Sinn 
 


Translation:

Your whole life through [text breaks off]
What saddens me in this world lasts for a short time. But what my soul loves remains through eternity. Therefore go, o world, with glory and money in this sensuousness. In the cross and God can my God for me refresh courage and mind.
