Summary "A Godly Medytacyon of the Christen Sowle, Concerninge a Loue Towardes God" is a theological treatise written in the early 16th century. Compiled in French by Lady Margarete, Queen of Navarre, and translated into English by Lady Elizabeth, daughter of King Henry VIII, this work delves into the profound relationship between the human soul and the divine. The text likely explores themes such as humility, repentance, and the nature of true nobility in the sight of God. The opening of the work features a transcriber’s note, alludes to biblical references, and sets the stage for a deeper exploration of spirituality. It includes an epistolary introduction where various nobility and their characteristics are discussed, emphasizing the merit of spiritual rather than worldly nobility. The author invites readers to reflect on the heart's conditions before God, acknowledging its weaknesses and the necessity of divine grace in attaining true knowledge and virtue. Through its lyrical and meditative passages, the text seeks to inspire a genuine love for God, urging the reader to contemplate their relationship with the divine amidst a world prone to vanity and sin.
