O
MY
LORD
,
O
my
God
:
how
long
wilt
thou
deferre
the
deliuery
of
thy
people
?
Arise
,
and
free
vs
O
Lord
:
arise
(
O
Lord
)
and
saue
vs
.
Helpe
vs
thou
in
our
tribulations
:
for
vaine
is
the
aide
of
man
.
Accomplish
gratiously
,
what
thou
mercifully
seemest
to
beginne
:
shewe
forth
the
amiable
light
of
thy
countenance
.
By
the
hand
of
thy
great
seruant
IAMES
,
shake
off
our
yoake
:
that
we
may
finde
him
an
honourable
comforter
.
Beautifie
him
with
a
name
,
more
pretious
then
his
Crowne
:
by
the
true
name
of
a
good
King
.
Deserue
he
the
resemblance
of
thy
owne
Title
:
Prince
of
peace
.
Least
they
which
vexe
vs
,
exalt
their
hartes
for
euer
:
and
magnifie
themselues
,
in
their
iniquities
.
Thou
hast
tried
vs
,
as
the
Diamond
is
tried
by
hammers
:
or
gold
in
the
fornace
.
Thou
hast
chastised
vs
throughly
for
our
offences
:
nowe
spare
vs
for
thy
mercy
.
To
thee
lift
we
vp
our
eyes
,
who
dwellest
in
the
heauens
:
and
sittest
vpon
the
Cherubins
.
As
slaues
in
their
Masters
fury
:
or
handmaides
at
their
Mistris
feete
.
Attend
from
thy
heauenly
throne
vnto
our
cry
:
for
exceedingly
haue
we
beene
oppressed
.
Howe
many
are
the
dayes
of
our
afflictions
:
when
wilt
thou
doe
vs
fauour
and
bowe
our
Persecutors
vnto
pittie
?
Thine
we
are
,
thy
children
and
thy
seruants
:
the
scattered
and
oppressed
sheepe
of
thy
pasture
.
Preserue
vs
,
for
we
haue
embraced
thy
wayes
:
and
diligently
searched
thy
commaundementes
.
For
which
cause
we
sustayne
the
note
of
folly
,
and
madnes
:
and
are
a
daylie
laughing
stock
to
each
wicked
person
.
Reputed
also
as
vnworthy
to
liue
:
and
enemies
to
our
deare
country
.
Our
acquaintance
haue
withdrawne
themselues
from
vs
:
and
abhorred
our
company
.
Our
friendes
haue
forsaken
vs
:
our
kindred
haue
no
wil
to
know
vs
.
Our
brethren
of
the
same
wombe
passed
by
vs
as
a
streame
:
which
stayeth
for
no
mans
talke
.
Swifter
then
Swallowes
fled
they
from
vs
:
for
dread
of
the
nets
which
are
round
about
vs
.
They
to
whome
we
should
be
deare
,
despise
vs
:
they
which
should
helpe
,
followe
in
the
chase
.
Like
sole
Camels
in
the
wildernes
are
we
become
:
like
solitary
birdes
which
haue
lost
their
company
.
Outcastes
,
of
no
body
regarded
:
as
broaken
potsherdes
were
we
trodden
vnder
foote
.
At
meetings
men
deuised
against
vs
:
at
tauernes
and
banquets
made
they
songes
vpon
vs
.
Neither
ceasseth
their
rage
to
repine
:
that
the
milder
minded
drawe
backe
from
persecuting
.
Without
committing
folly
are
we
scorned
:
&
slaundred
without
desert
.
Tongues
are
sharpned
against
vs
like
swordes
:
malice
is
bent
against
vs
as
a
bowe
.
Arrowes
are
in
secret
let
flie
to
wound
vs
:
snares
are
laied
to
intrap
vs
.
The
children
of
this
world
,
seeke
nothing
more
then
our
destruction
.
This
their
assemblies
forget
not
:
this
is
their
busines
all
the
day
long
.
Lawes
laied
they
earst
for
stumbling
blockes
:
&
crossed
thy
edictes
,
the
pathes
of
innocency
.
Beset
by
them
as
thicke
as
bees
:
wee
liue
inclosed
amidest
an
armed
hoast
.
They
raged
among
vs
as
a
riuer
which
swelleth
with
raine
:
bearing
downe
the
bankes
with
violence
.
Their
insolent
fury
as
a
flame
:
which
catcheth
hold
vpon
a
pile
of
thornes
.
Oppressed
thus
by
our
aduersaries
,
we
lay
groueling
on
the
ground
:
and
by
strong
hand
were
our
neckes
kept
downe
.
Oh
that
at
length
they
would
not
kicke
against
our
litle
redresse
present
:
for
of
the
passed
time
who
can
record
the
calamity
.
Euen
so
,
O
heauenly
Father
:
for
it
hath
pleased
thee
,
to
compasse
vs
with
payne
and
perill
.
Our
bowels
are
filled
with
worme
wood
:
our
hartes
long
since
inebriated
with
gall
.
To
what
shall
I
compare
our
sorrowe
:
and
resemble
the
misery
many
yeares
sustayned
?
Our
woes
as
waues
of
the
Sea
:
our
aduersities
as
the
sandes
thereof
.
Persecution
followeth
vs
,
like
thunder
,
and
lightning
:
fire
,
haile
,
and
brimstone
.
More
cruell
are
our
foes
then
Vnicornes
:
more
outragious
then
swift
Tigres
.
As
Dauid
sought
to
death
by
Saul
:
as
the
Israelites
in
the
bondage
of
Egipt
.
As
innocent
Susanna
in
the
handes
of
her
accusers
:
as
Daniel
in
the
Lions
Den
:
such
is
our
case
,
O
Lord
.
Vnder
vs
is
the
appaling
pitte
:
aboue
vs
the
brandishing
sword
.
Within
vs
,
feares
:
without
vs
,
terrours
.
No
meane
left
to
escape
:
but
only
thy
diuine
assistance
.
Were
it
not
for
thy
great
mercy
:
long
since
had
we
beene
wasted
and
gone
.
Our
Fathers
sinned
and
we
beare
their
iniquities
:
but
vnto
howe
many
generations
will
thy
wrath
be
extended
?
Howe
long
wilt
thou
shut
thy
eyes
from
the
oppression
of
thy
poore
:
and
bannish
their
cry
from
thine
eares
?
A
greate
space
haue
our
soules
thirsted
after
thee
:
expecting
the
day
of
their
redemption
.
As
trauaylers
in
a
dry
&
vncouth
way
:
as
children
weaned
from
their
Mothers
breast
.
Our
hartes
are
replenished
with
sorrowe
and
heauines
:
to
see
thine
anger
so
confirmed
against
vs
.
Hold
not
thy
peace
,
but
answere
vs
:
nowe
we
lift
vp
our
handes
before
thy
holy
Seate
.
Consider
at
length
of
our
complaint
,
O
Protector
of
thy
holy
Church
:
looke
downe
from
thy
throne
of
Majesty
.
Regard
the
daylie
Sacrifices
:
and
turne
not
thy
face
from
thine
anointed
.
Iniquity
hath
preuayled
:
gotten
the
vpper
hand
,
and
proceeded
with
all
extreamity
.
Because
of
this
we
groane
by
day
:
and
at
midnight
powre
forth
our
soules
in
teares
.
Memory
of
our
tribulation
commeth
into
our
lippes
,
at
table
of
refection
:
and
busieth
our
thoughtes
vpon
the
bed
of
our
rest
.
At
our
rising
it
is
in
our
first
prayers
:
at
our
going
to
bed
we
againe
commend
our
cause
to
thy
mercy
.
Diuers
times
in
the
day
we
bowe
our
knees
:
beseeching
thee
at
length
to
relent
.
Our
eyes
droppe
continually
vnto
thy
Godhead
:
and
our
sighes
are
euery
moment
sent
vp
towarde
thy
throne
.
We
haue
put
on
sackcloath
and
hayre
:
and
humbled
our selues
in
fasting
and
abstinence
.
Girt
our
loynes
with
corde
,
abased
our
heades
to
the
earth
:
and
multiplied
our
prayers
.
Arise
therefore
,
O
God
of
hoastes
stand
for
thy
people
:
giue
thy
maligners
to
vnderstand
,
that
their
Doctrines
are
of
flesh
and
bloud
.
Heale
the
crushed
and
brused
:
set
captiues
at
liberty
.
Thy
might
is
not
abridged
:
thy
wisdome
is
no
whit
diminished
.
Make
therefore
the
yron
rodde
quite
to
cease
from
our
shoulders
:
binde
vp
the
woundes
of
the
guiltlesse
.
Spare
vs
for
thy
name
sake
,
O
benigne
Lord
:
release
thy
congregation
from
their
affliction
.
Conuert
the
hartes
of
people
to
thee
:
and
they
shall
be
conuerted
.
Send
forth
thy
grace
:
and
put
vp
thy
sword
.
Thou
hast
powred
forth
thine
indignation
like
a
streame
:
and
laide
thy
habitation
like
a
waste
plotte
.
Ierusalem
hath
streatched
out
her
hand
,
and
findeth
no
helpe
:
shee
bewayleth
her
children
,
without
all
consolation
.
Nowe
therefore
arise
,
vntwist
the
twine
of
our
tribulation
:
and
breake
the
exactors
staffe
.
Preuent
the
appointed
time
,
O
fountayne

:
abridge
the
dayes
to

saluation
of

Most
part
of
this
haruest
perisheth
for
wante
of
reaping
:
though
much
be
blighted
before
the
sickle
.
Many
which
shined
in
thy
church
like
starres
:
are
fallen
as
from
heauen
,
into
the
bottomelesse
pit
.
Many
bredde
vp
in
thy
fragrant
garden
:
wallowe
nowe
without
doores
vpon
filth
with
swine
.
Whome
thy
Spouse
fostered
vp
with
her
owne
breastes
:
those
haue
sauage
beastes
raught
from
betweene
her
armes
,
and
deuoured
.
So
that
shee
is
become
as
a
tree
blasted
:
and
casting
her
blossomes
with
the
frost
.
Her
faire
ones
are
altered
to
Aethiopians
:
her
stronge
ones
changed
to
weakelinges
.
They
which
seemed
strongest
haue
shrunke
vnder
the
burden
:
they
which
seemed
soundest
are
consumed
.
Hell
hath
widned
his
entrailles
:
and
opened
his
mouth
beyond
all
measure
.
So
that
almost
as
many
soules
are
swallowed
in
his
gulfe
:
as
bodies
are
carried
to
the
graue
.
The
fainter
sort
are
tyred
in
this
long
probation
:
&
blaspheamously
say
in
their
hartes
,
where
is
our
God
become
?
Scarce
the
just
&
elect
haue
beene
able
to
endure
:
Respect
therefore
at
last
(
O
Lord
)
our
oppression
&
desolation
.
For
thy
loue
and
for
defence
of
our
faith
it
is
:
that
we
haue
taken
so
hard
a
course
.
For
righteousnes
we
sustayne
reproofe
:
for
not
violating
our
alleageance
to
thy
soueraigne
Majesty
.
Who
art
the
only
Lord
of
Lordes
:
and
Monarch
of
the
whole
world
.
Before
whose
face
the
mountayns
tremble
:
&
to
whome
Angels
bowe
.
Whose
slaues
and
vassals
:
are
all
the
Princes
of
the
earth
.
When
thou
list
thou
pluckest
away
their
chaynes
of
gold
:
and
tiest
a
rope
about
their
neckes
.
For
thy
seruice
we
suffer
,
hating
the
profane
Church
:
and
refusing
to
sit
in
the
congregation
of
the
wicked
.
Vngodly
assemblies
we
haue
detested
:
and
held
in
abhomination
the
Doctrine
of
the
chaire
of
pestilence
.
Conceale
therefore
no
longer
our
innocency
:
the
mouth
of
the
vngodly
is
opened
against
vs
.
And
that
without
our
fault
,
thou
knowest
:
who
quietly
seeke
to
direct
our
liues
.
They
say
to
vs
,
talke
not
of
conscience
:
meddle
not
of
Religion
and
you
shall
be
free
.
Yeald
to
vs
in
shewe
:
and
giue
outward
consent
to
our
lawes
and
actions
.
Come
reuerently
to
our
rites
,
and
prayers
:
be
one
of
vs
,
at
least
in
profession
.
Forsake
your
accustomed
Sacramentes
:
renounce
the
society
and
communion
of
Catholikes
.
Then
beleeue
in
hart
howe
you
lift
:
we
admit
you
good
subjectes
,
and
no
enemies
of
our
Religion
.
Misery
hangeth
ouer
our
heads
,
if
we
yeald
not
to
this
suggestion
:
but
a
thousand
miseries
if
we
doe
relent
.
If
we
forsake
thy
Tabernacle
,
hell
claymeth
interest
in
vs
:
the
fiend
taketh
seyzion
of
our
soules
.
Standing
stedfast
we
are
consumed
to
nothing
:
neither
finde
end
of
trouble
but
by
death
.
A
CONSOLATORIE
PSALME
,
ANSWEring
to
the
former
.
THE
SECOND
PSALME
.
LIFT
vp
thy
head
,
O
Virgin
Sion
:
receiue
comfort
,
yee
children
of
Hierusalem
.
Yee
zealous
soules
,
who
groane
vnder
sore
persecution
:
and
sit
in
heauines
for
your
conscience
sake
.
Who
haue
beene
tried
by
fire
,
and
found
pure
:
peysed
in
ballance
,
and
found
sufficient
.
Your
constancy
our
Lord
&
maker
hath
beheld
:
accepting
the
same
as
a
most
gratefull
Sacrifice
.
Confirme
your
hartes
in
hope
:
for
your
redemption
is
not
farre
off
.
The
yeare
of
visitation
draweth
to
an
end
:
and
Iubilation
is
at
hand
.
Albeit
yee
be
as
drops
fallen
into
the
Sea
:
and
as
graines
of
gold
among
the
mountaynes
.
Yet
are
yee
respected
from
on
high
as
loyall
,
and
louing
children
:
the
reliques
of
Israell
shall
bee
saued
.
Hierusalem
shall
be
built
vp
againe
:
and
the
second
glory
thereof
shal
be
greater
then
the
first
.
The
Church
purged
in
the
fornace
of
tribulation
:
shal
shine
brighter
then
euer
before
.
Righteousnes
shall
prosper
:
and
infidelity
shall
bee
plucked
vp
by
the
rootes
.
God
wil
arise
,
as
from
a
long
slumber
:
and
establish
againe
the
Arke
of
his
sanctification
.
Feare
not
,
little
IACOB
:
hee
that
is
thy
Redeemer
from
the
Diuell
,
will
be
thy
deliuerer
from
all
euill
.
His
thou
art
,
his
flocke
and
fold
:
Catholike
is
thy
name
.
To
hurt
thee
,
is
to
hurt
him
:
to
touch
thee
,
is
to
touch
the
apple
of
his
eye
.
Arise
therefore
from
the
earth
,
shake
off
sorrowes
:
thy
confusion
shall
giue
glace
to
glory
.
The
morning
dewe
is
prest
to
fal
:
and
the
night
to
be
discharged
of
her
course
.
With
the
eye
of
pitty
the
Lord
of
hostes
shall
visit
vs
:
and
send
saluation
to
his
people
.
Turning
their
water
into
wine
:
their
wormewood
into
suger
canes
.
His
scattered
flocke
he
will
vnite
againe
:
and
reduce
strayers
into
safety
.
The
roote
which
hath
waxen
old
vnder
ground
,
shall
shoote
vp
againe
:
as
a
fresh
plant
by
the
riuer
side
.
No
man
shall
vpbraid
it
with
barrennes
:
or
say
it
was
a
cursed
stocke
.
False
errour
shall
vanishe
like
smoake
:
and
they
which
sawe
it
shall
say
,
where
is
it
become
?
Iust
judgement
and
holy
lawes
:
shall
be
restored
.
If
a
Woman
can
forget
her
child
,
or
if
we
can
forget
our
right
handes
:
yet
will
not
Christ
be
vnmindfull
of
Sion
his
heritage
.
Sooner
shall
he
forget
his
owne
throne
:
then
her
desolation
.
For
ashes
,
hee
shall
giue
her
a
Crowne
:
for
baths
of
teares
,
vnction
of
joy
.
Requiting
her
ignominy
with
honour
:
her
sackcloath
of
sorrowe
with
robes
of
festiuity
.
His
Tabernacle
he
will
spred
againe
:
and
dwell
among
vs
as
in
time
past
.
Cladding
his
Priestes
with
holynes
:
and
his
seruants
with
purity
.
Sacred
songes
shall
breake
their
long
silence
:
the
lampe
of
our
Lord
shall
be
reuiued
.
Preachers
of
saluation
:
shall
without
feare
lift
vs
their
voice
.
The
Churches
shall
be
hallowed
againe
:
&
no
vncleane
persons
shall
enter
therein
.
The
forrests
and
rockes
shal
send
thither
their
chiefest
glory
:
for
beautifying
of
sacred
workes
.
Screetch-owles
shall
seeke
newe
habitation
:
and
resigne
to
the
simple
Doue
.
With
sweeter
then
milke
&
hony
:
seauen
fountaynes
shal
spring
afresh
,
and
flowe
.
The
resemblance
of
heauen
shall
be
renewed
:
the
resemblance
of
hell
shall
be
destroyed
.
England
shall
bee
called
a
happy
Realme
:
a
blessed
Country
,
a
Religious
people
.
Those
which
knewe
the
former
glory
of
Religion
:
shall
lift
vp
their
handes
for
joy
,
to
see
it
returned
againe
.
Those
which
neuer
sawe
it
:
shall
be
stroaken
with
admiration
.
Wishing
that
they
had
sooner
knowne
the
truth
:
and
condemning
their
fathers
,
which
forsooke
it
.
Men
shal
say
of
it
one
to
another
:
here
is
indeede
the
house
of
God
,
&
the
gate
of
heauen
.
Howe
great
diuersity
is
betweene
truth
,
and
falshoode
:
deuout
solemnities
,
and
counterfeit
ceremonies
?
From
the
East
point
to
the
West
:
men
shall
confesse
their
errours
.
They
which
thought
themselues
wisest
:
shall
say
they
knew
nothing
.
Gladly
shall
people
walke
in
their
auncients
steps
of
truth
and
equity
:
beginning
to
learne
howe
to
loue
God
aright
.
Howe
to
loue
him
,
and
serue
him
:
howe
to
honour
him
sincerely
in
a
perfect
hart
.
Be
no
more
apald
,
O
little
flocke
of
Christ
:
the
Prince
of
peace
will
breake
the
exactors
rodde
.
Rescuing
you
from
captiuity
:
and
bringing
you
vnto
desirable
pastures
Take
courage
for
he
is
with
you
:
his
assistance
neuer
faileth
.
To
his
glory
he
created
you
:
and
for
his
name
sake
he
wil
protect
and
saue
you
.
No
longer
will
he
dissemble
the
oppression
of
his
people
:
he
is
bent
to
reuenge
their
cause
.
The
Daughters
of
Babilon
shall
be
cast
downe
:
and
in
the
dust
lament
their
ruine
.
Proude
Heresie
shall
strike
her
saile
:
and
groane
as
a
beast
,
crushed
vnder
a
cartwheele
.
Though
her
hart
be
flint
:
her
neck
yron
,
her
forhead
brasse
.
The
Omnipotent
hath
sworne
to
make
her
stoope
:
and
that
he
will
abase
her
haughtines
.
Though
shee
fret
his
chosen
vine
neuer
so
much
:
in
despight
of
her
it
shall
shoote
vp
and
prosper
.
Ten
times
if
it
be
cut
downe
:
ten
times
it
shall
arise
more
glorious
.
God
hath
planted
it
with
his
owne
hand
:
he
hath
watered
it
with
the
bloud
of
Martirs
,
&
it
shall
flourish
.
He
hath
considered
the
insolency
of
our
enemies
:
their
cruell
dealing
hath
not
escaped
his
sight
.
Howe
arrogantly
they
walke
before
our
face
:
glorying
in
their
wickednes
.
But
the
memory
of
nouelties
shall
perish
with
a
cracke
:
as
a
ruinous
house
falling
to
the
ground
.
Repent
yee
seducers
with
speede
:
and
preuent
the
dreadfull
wrath
of
the
most
powreable
.
Least
his
ire
tread
vpon
you
:
like
a
conquerour
.
Least
sodainely
he
draw
you
forth
out
of
your
terrestriall
Paradise
:
as
thornes
,
which
are
not
pulled
vp
with
handes
.
We
haue
long
tasted
the
cup
of
his
indignation
:
but
for
sinners
he
hath
reserued
the
dregges
thereof
.
Greene
and
flourishing
boughes
haue
not
escaped
his
heauy
hand
:
and
shall
he
be
mercifull
to
rotten
branches
?
Let
iniquity
no
longer
lie
:
deceiuing
it selfe
with
vaine
security
.
For
thus
promiseth
the
defendor
of
Israell
.
He
will
come
as
a
flame
:
that
bursteth
out
beyond
the
fornace
.
His
enemies
,
shall
be
like
stubble
in
his
way
.
His
fury
shal
flie
forth
as
thunder
:
and
pitch
vpon
their
tops
,
which
maligne
him
.
With
him
,
is
both
wisdome
and
strength
:
he
quaileth
the
world
with
a
becke
.
He
knoweth
how
to
dull
the
weapons
of
the
mighty
:
and
to
frustrate
the
counsaile
of
the
sage
.
He
buildeth
,
&
breaketh
scepters
:
and
bringeth
wisardes
to
their
wittes
end
.
Pharao
was
by
his
plagues
compelled
:
to
let
the
children
of
Israell
Sacrifice
in
liberty
.
Cyrus
by
his
aide
conquered
the
Oppressor
:
&
dissolued
by
his
instinct
,
the
long
captiuity
of
Iuda
.
A
second
Cyrus
hath
he
stirred
vp
:
confirming
his
scepter
for
the
good
of
his
people
.
He
shal
likewise
bring
the
Infants
of
Sion
,
from
all
quarters
of
their
banishment
:
joyfully
shall
they
returne
from
forraigne
landes
.
And
those
Countries
where
now
they
harbour
:
shall
finde
succour
in
this
Isle
to
their
owne
necessities
.
Thrise
happy
are
yee
who
shall
see
those
dayes
:
your
hartes
shall
be
replenished
with
joy
.
There
shal
not
be
any
more
grief
:
misery
,
and
tribulation
.
But
persecution
shal
be
recoumpted
with
mirth
:
as
persons
arriued
discourse
of
shipwracke
.
The
arme
of
the
malignant
being
broaken
:
our
LORD
shall
raigne
in
mens
hartes
,
for
euer
and
euer
.
The
tempestuous
night
being
passed
:
a
perpetuall
day
shall
be
our
comfort
.
Which
if
we
liue
to
see
:
to
haue
suffered
for
Christ
,
shall
be
a
joy
during
life
.
If
we
die
before
:
we
rest
in
assured
confidence
,
of
a
happy
resurrection
.
And
alwayes
an
immaculate
conscience
,
shall
bee
a
sweete
odour
to
the
Almighty
:
and
a
banquet
to
our selues
.
By
affliction
our
soules
are
purged
of
their
drosse
:
and
their
imperfections
consumed
.
By
persecution
we
are
tried
as
by
the
fanne
:
whether
we
will
be
carried
away
with
euery
wind
.
They
which
nowe
stand
shall
be
planted
afresh
,
as
a
glorious
generation
:
and
be
as
principall
stones
in
restauration
of
the
Temple
.
Aboundantly
shall
Gods
mercies
recompence
their
losses
:
gladnesse
shal
exceede
their
sorrowes
an
hundred-fold
.
All
that
shall
see
them
shall
know
and
say
:
these
are
they
which
would
not
bowe
to
Baall
.
Constant
Confessors
of
Christ
Iesus
:
&
the
only
glory
of
our
nation
.
Iust
is
God
in
his
judgementes
:
and
hath
ordayned
a
time
,
wherein
to
remember
vs
.
His
comming
shall
be
as
a
sweete
showre
to
the
parched
ground
:
and
as
a
labourers
wages
at
the
weekes
end
.
Cease
shall
our
bondage
:
and
he
shall
blesse
vs
with
an
eternall
liberty
.
His
truth
,
his
justice
,
his
Priestes
,
his
Sacrifice
:
shal
no
more
be
taken
away
.
For
a
moment
he
afflicted
vs
:
but
for
euer
shall
his
consolation
endure
.
Nowe
therefore
shew
your selues
men
:
yee
that
endure
for
justifying
your
faith
.
Runne
forward
without
wearines
:
atchieue
without
fainting
a
happy
course
.
A
Crowne
hangeth
ouer
your
heades
:
vnspeakeable
blisse
is
prepared
for
you
.
God
himselfe
shall
be
your
great
reward
:
your
hope
is
full
of
immortality
.
A
DEEPE
RECOGITATION
,
OF
THE
FIRST
conuersion
of
the
English
nation
to
the
faith
of
Christ
,
and
the
continuance
thereof
.
THE
THIRD
PSALME
.
MY
hart
melteth
,
and
my
bowels
tremble
:
while
I
conferre
the
times
,
O
my
God
.
The
times
of
this
our
miserable
age
:
with
the
golden
dayes
of
our
forefathers
.
We
haue
heard
with
our
eares
:
and
thy
Scribes
haue
commended
to
eternall
memory
.
The
worke
that
thou
wroughtest
one
thousand
yeares
past
:
in
conuerting
our
Auncestors
to
the
faith
.
To
a
people
that
sate
in
darknesse
and
shadowe
of
death
:
it
pleased
thee
to
shew
the
light
of
thy
countenance
.
That
the
reliques
of
an
Heathen
nation
should
be
saued
:
that
no
people
should
be
exempt
from
knowledge
of
thy
lawe
,
and
title
to
thy
glory
.
Thou
preparedst
thine
elect
seruant
Gregory
:
to
gouerne
the
Apostolike
Sea
.
A
Pastor
like
Dauid
:
according
to
thine
owne
hart
.
Who
with
great
care
executing
his
charge
:
fulfilled
perfectly
the
name
and
office
of
a
watchman
.
Thou
stirredst
vp
his
hart
:
to
enterprise
the
conuersion
of
the
English
.
And
enflamedst
his
minde
:
with
zeale
of
dilating
thy
name
vnto
the
endes
of
the
world
.
While
he
was
yet
priuate
:
thou
hadst
sent
of
our
youth
to
be
sold
at
Rome
.
Intending
thereby
:
the
accomplishment
of
thy
purposed
mercy
.
They
were
brought
to
the
Market-place
,
to
be
cheapned
as
beastes
:
price
was
set
vpon
them
as
slaues
.
Endewed
yet
with
reasonable
soules
,
and
such
visages
:
as
commended
the
excellency
of
thy
beautifull
workmanship
.
Iust
neuerthelesse
was
their
present
condition
:
who
were
bruite
beastes
by
sinne
,
and
slaues
of
the
Diuell
by
infidelity
.
Thy
holy
seruant
sawe
them
:
and
his
hart
yearned
at
their
calamity
.
But
thou
inspiredst
him
that
their
saluation
was
neare
:
and
that
himselfe
should
be
the
instrument
thereof
.
Thou
placedst
thy
wordes
in
his
lips
:
and
hearing
that
they
were
called
Angles
,
he
said
.
To
Angels
this
nation
must
be
vnited
:
whome
in
countenance
they
so
resemble
.
Understanding
their
Prouince
was
called
Deira
:
and
their
King
Aëlle
.
He
inferred
,
that
deliuered
from
Gods
ire
&
indignation
:
they
shortly
should
sing
Alleluia
.
After
this
(
O
Lord
)
thou
diddest
raise
vp
Gregory
:
to
be
supreame
Pastor
of
thy
vniuersall
flocke
.
Thou
gauest
him
both
ability
and
will
:
to
compasse
that
which
he
had
before
thirsted
.
And
to
finish
the
worke
:
which
thou
secretly
hadst
in
hand
.
He
sent
Augustine
thy
approoued
Priest
:
with
a
chosen
company
,
fit
for
so
great
and
holy
an
enterprise
.
A
long
and
weary
some
way
they
passed
:
but
thou
easedst
their
trauaile
with
daylie
consolation
.
In
the
midst
of
their
journey
their
courage
languished
:
but
thou
confirmedst
them
afresh
.
Through
straunge
landes
,
and
vncouth
wayes
they
passed
:
but
thy
hand
euermore
protected
them
.
They
crossed
the
Seas
:
and
came
to
an
Island
,
whose
tongue
they
vnderstood
not
.
Thou
didest
alwayes
assist
them
:
and
wert
a
present
aide
to
their
necessities
.
Thou
art
Lord
of
the
Isles
,
no
lesse
then
of
the
continent
:
neither
doth
distance
of
places
abridge
thy
power
.
Thus
thou
broughtest
Monkes
from
beyond
the
high
&
insuperable
Alpes
:
to
kindle
in
Infidels
hartes
the
fire
of
thy
loue
.
At
their
entrance
they
bare
before
them
the
triumphant
signe
of
the
Crosse
:
the
badge
of
Christians
,
the
memory
of
our
Redemption
.
A
token
that
they
preached
the
Sonne
of
Man
crucified
:
a
protestation
of
their
faith
,
and
profession
.
They
sange
the
sacred
Litanies
with
loude
voice
:
inuocating
Saints
and
Angels
to
their
assistance
.
Grace
thou
gauest
them
in
the
sight
of
Princes
:
and
our
Country
beganne
to
yeald
her
fruits
.
The
seede
which
they
sowed
tooke
roote
:
and
yealded
encrease
apace
.
Through
many
tempestes
,
and
stormes
it
preuailed
:
through
contradictions
it
augmented
the
more
.
They
conquered
this
land
to
thy
CHRIST
:
and
subdued
all
mens
hartes
to
thy
Gospell
.
Possessing
the
Prouinces
not
by
the
sword
,
but
in
thy
word
:
not
in
their
arme
,
but
in
thy
spirit
.
They
established
the
function
of
thy
holy
Altar
:
wherein
thy
Sonne
is
both
Priest
and
Sacrifice
.
They
administred
the
seauen
SACRAMENTES
:
and
planted
the
whole
Doctrine
of
the
Catholike
Church
.
They
laide
a
firme
foundation
of
their
forefathers
faith
:
with
the
honourable
rites
thereunto
appertayning
.
And
once
more
this
Island
flourished
afresh
:
recouering
her
auncient
glory
.
Which
many
yeares
before
shee
had
attayned
:
by
embracing
the
Christian
faith
.
Vaunting
her selfe
to
be
the
first
Christian
Prouince
of
the
world
:
the
eldest
child
of
the
Church
.
The
faithful
throughout
the
earth
:
rejoyced
at
her
Religious
example
.
Singing
her
happy
choice
,
and
celebrating
her
with
Titles
:
some
of
Christs
birth-right
,
some
of
our
Ladies
dowry
.
King
Lucius
by
thy
secret
motion
:
inclined
his
hart
to
search
thy
truth
.
Animated
by
thee
(
O
Soueraigne
Sanctifier
)
to
Rome
as
the
fountayne
he
sent
for
water
of
life
.
Thy
high
Steward
&
Lieutenant
Eleutherius
:
assigned
Priests
for
execution
of
his
holy
desires
.
The
light
of
thy
word
was
soone
spred
through
Britaine
:
to
the
saluation
of
many
soules
.
The
Prophecy
was
so
fulfilled
:
that
from
the
Islands
our
Lord
should
beginne
his
raigne
.
In
this
thy
garden
grewe
white
Lillies
without
number
:
and
integrity
of
life
adorned
the
Realme
.
But
neither
was
the
red
Rose
wanting
:
purpled
with
the
bloud
of
thy
Saintes
.
Alban
the
Prothomartir
:
for
harbouring
a
Priest
lost
his
life
.
Amphiabel
thy
consecrated
seruant
was
slaine
for
thy
sake
:
Iulius
&
Aaron
with
many
more
.
When
the
Saxons
inuaded
with
fire
and
sword
:
thou
laiedst
not
aside
the
care
of
thy
land
.
But
pittying
that
Infidels
should
possesse
the
jewell
:
which
thou
louedst
so
well
.
Thou
broughtest
to
passe
by
incomprehensible
wisdome
:
that
they
also
were
by
Gregory
conuerted
.
Thus
from
the
holy
City
,
from
Peters
Seate
:
both
the
conquerour
,
and
conquered
receiued
Religion
.
And
being
otherwise
mortall
enemies
:
yet
in
points
of
beliefe
consented
in
one
.
Neither
did
the
Brittaine
argue
the
Saxon
of
heresie
:
or
reproach
him
to
haue
receiued
an
vpstart
and
falsified
faith
.
As
likewise
,
neither
did
the
Dane
chaunge
the
Saxons
beliefe
:
nor
the
victorious
Norman
bring
in
newe
opinions
.
For
they
found
no
other
:
then
all
Christendome
at
that
time
professed
.
Of
the
faith
Catholike
,
which
in
this
Island
:
thou
(
O
eternal
truth
)
hadest
in
this
wise
planted
,
watred
,
and
established
.
Who
is
able
to
comprehend
the
successe
?
what
tongue
can
expresse
the
encrease
?
All
quarters
of
the
earth
talked
of
her
fruit
:
all
corners
of
this
Realme
testifie
it
.
So
many
Churches
&
Chappels
so
many
Colledges
and
Hospitals
:
so
many
sundry
foundations
of
charity
.
So
many
thousandes
of
vowed
Religious
:
among
whome
night
nor
day
,
thy
prayses
neuer
ceassed
.
Who
spent
their
time
in
praying
for
their
Country
:
putting
themselues
as
a
wall
betweene
thy
wrath
,
and
the
people
.
Watching
,
whilst
others
slept
:
liuing
in
penance
,
whilst
others
past
their
time
in
pleasures
.
No
Country
yealded
more
Kings
Canonized
for
their
liues
:
or
Martirs
by
their
deaths
.
More
that
visited
in
Pilgrimage
:
the
Temples
and
Monuments
of
the
chiefe
Apostles
.
More
Princes
which
laying
aside
their
Crowne
and
Scepter
:
in
Religious
habite
and
Cloisters
,
finished
their
age
.
Or
more
Queenes
,
and
Kinges
Daughters
:
who
renouncing
worldly
pompe
,
chose
Christ
for
their
Spouse
.
Holy
Bishops
in
whome
thy
hart
was
well
pleased
,
were
very
many
:
some
of
which
lost
their
liues
for
their
flocke
.
Thou
hadst
here
also
Eremites
&
Anchorets
many
:
equall
in
perfection
to
the
Fathers
of
Aegipt
.
Both
sanctity
and
wisdome
thou
didst
powre
aboundantly
:
vpon
diuers
of
thy
seruantes
.
This
Isle
as
a
nource
of
learning
:
sent
teachers
into
straunge
landes
.
As
a
Seminary
of
Religion
:
it
did
spread
abroade
the
Christian
faith
.
No
Country
but
boasteth
of
some
English
Saint
:
honouring
his
reliques
,
whose
life
they
had
in
admiration
.
Germany
acknowledgeth
from
Enland
:
her
first
Apostles
,
and
Euangelistes
.
Who
founded
there
thy
faith
,
O
Lord
:
by
word
,
workes
,
and
by
their
bloud
.
By
one
of
our
nation
:
were
the
Noruegians
reclaymed
from
their
superstitions
.
And
the
frosen
nations
of
the
North-pole
:
beganne
to
be
enflamed
with
thy
loue
.
Our
Kinges
also
in
honour
of
thy
sacred
name
:
and
in
signe
of
perfect
vnion
to
thy
Church
;
Offered
vp
their
protestation
of
obedient
Children
:
and
made
the
Realme
tributary
to
Peters
chaire
.
They
erected
a
Colledge
at
Rome
thy
holy
City
:
that
from
whence
their
faith
first
proceeded
,
it
might
still
be
conserued
.
The
deuotion
of
all
to
thy
holy
and
dreadfull
Sacrifices
:
it
is
not
my
tongue
,
thou
knowest
,
can
expresse
.
It
was
thou
which
gauest
them
both
ability
and
will
to
erect
so
many
stately
Temples
,
with
towres
aspiring
to
the
cloudes
.
To
adorne
the
same
with
such
rich
furniture
:
Crosses
,
Chalices
,
and
shrines
of
pretious
mettall
.
So
that
neither
sparing
labour
nor
cost
:
they
left
examples
of
deuotion
to
all
posterity
.
Religious
zeale
being
well
grounded
in
all
mens
hartes
:
other
fruits
of
good
life
followed
accordingly
.
The
vine
yealdeth
not
Scamony
:
the
Pomegranate
beareth
not
Coloquintida
.
Neither
could
good
Doctrine
:
bring
forth
euill
fruits
.
It
delighted
thee
to
looke
vpon
this
Realme
:
and
to
regard
the
state
thereof
.
To
see
howe
parentes
loued
their
children
,
more
to
thee
then
to
the
world
:
more
by
reason
then
fond
affection
.
Howe
children
obeyed
their
parents
,
not
to
the
eye
only
,
but
from
the
hart
:
not
for
their
owne
behoofe
,
but
for
thy
commaundement
.
Howe
Masters
to
their
seruants
,
seruants
to
their
Masters
:
the
Prince
to
the
people
,
the
people
to
the
Prince
.
Each
obserued
to
other
their
duty
inuiolable
.
The
Clergy
to
the
laity
:
the
laity
toward
the
Clergy
.
Howe
all
Superiors
to
their
Inferiors
bare
themselues
vpright
:
and
receiued
likewise
of
them
their
due
.
Howe
each
man
had
just
care
of
his
soule
:
and
fewe
gaue
themselues
ouer
to
iniquity
.
How
sinners
hastned
by
penance
and
teares
:
to
reconcile
themselues
to
thy
mercifull
Majesty
.
All
thinges
went
in
order
,
and
the
sweet
consort
of
the
common
wealth
:
was
as
the
harmony
of
a
wel-tuned
instrument
.
A
DEPLORATION
OF
THE
REVOLT
OF
ENgland
,
from
the
receiued
faith
.
THE
FOVRTH
PSALME
.
MY
God
,
O
my
God
;
O
God
of
our
Auncestors
:
where
is
the
goodly
tree
of
thy
planting
become
?
Which
prospered
and
grewe
so
mightily
:
which
flourished
so
beautifully
.
Whose
shade
was
most
pleasant
and
recreatiue
:
whose
armes
streatched
to
the
foure
Seas
.
The
Cedars
of
Libanus
were
not
taller
;
the
Palmes
of
Palestina
fairer
:
nor
the
Okes
of
the
forrest
stronger
.
I
heard
of
the
glory
and
fame
thereof
,
and
I
wondred
:
I
looked
about
to
see
it
,
and
it
is
not
to
be
found
.
Alas
,
O
Lord
,
that
thou
hast
suffered
a
parching
wind
to
blow
from
the
North
:
which
made
the
boughs
thereof
to
wither
,
and
the
flourish
thereof
to
decay
.
The
leaues
first
fell
away
by
one
and
by
one
:
other
followed
by
ten
and
by
twenty
.
As
when
the
Sunne
draweth
to
his
farthest
point
:
and
the
cold
nipping
winter
prepareth
his
recourse
.
The
smaller
boughes
beganne
to
fall
to
the
ground
:
being
become
dry
stickes
without
sappe
.
The
contagion
at
length
possessing
the
hart
:
maine
branches
brake
away
.
The
trunke
all
rotten
fell
downe
:
the
fall
thereof
was
very
great
.
The
cracke
was
heard
into
all
landes
:
and
made
Nations
quake
for
feare
.
Peeuish
shrubs
,
whome
her
shade
oppressed
:
&
inferiour
trees
,
whome
her
glory
disgraced
;
Such
triumphed
at
her
fall
:
and
rejoyced
at
her
ruine
.
But
the
other
goodly
trees
of
the
wood
,
pittied
her
calamity
:
and
feared
their
owne
estate
.
Yet
just
art
thou
,
O
judge
of
all
the
world
:
and
there
is
no
iniquity
in
thy
wayes
.
Before
thou
didst
thus
abase
our
Nation
,
they
sinned
:
and
before
thou
didst
so
chastise
our
Country
,
it
deserued
the
rodde
.
Our
forefathers
were
vnmindfull
of
the
multitude
of
thy
mercies
:
and
kept
not
the
couenant
of
thy
commaundements
.
But
beginning
to
wauer
at
the
noyse
of
newe
opinions
:
their
manners
drew
infection
from
the
weakenesse
of
their
faith
.
When
they
sawe
the
theefe
they
followed
him
:
to
be
partaker
of
his
pray
.
They
joyned
shot
with
the
adulterous
generation
:
&
furthered
their
proceedinges
.
And
eating
with
vncircumcised
persons
:
mingled
themselues
with
those
,
which
thou
hast
strictly
forbidden
.
They
learned
their
workes
,
they
suckt
in
their
opinions
:
and
stumbled
to
their
vtter
ruine
.
They
found
in
their
conuersation
the
scandall
of
Balam
:
eating
&
drinking
,
and
fornication
.
Thy
Nazarites
were
prouoked
to
violate
their
vowes
:
and
inuited
to
meates
renounced
.
Way
was
by
liberty
made
open
to
intrusion
of
a
newe
beliefe
:
and
men
vaunted
their
proper
inuentions
to
be
thy
word
.
Blessed
is
the
memory
,
and
euerlasting
is
the
glory
of
the
shepherds
:
which
looked
well
to
their
charge
,
at
the
time
of
Apostasie
.
For
the
brightnesse
of
Israell
was
not
quite
put
out
:
but
that
many
lampes
gaue
their
accustomed
light
.
Rather
choosing
triumphantly
to
loose
their
liues
:
then
by
yealding
to
betray
their
flocke
.
Cursed
for
euer
are
those
Prelates
and
Pastors
:
not
worthy
the
name
of
subjectes
and
sheepe
.
Who
either
slept
while
the
Diuell
sowed
his
cockle
,
O
eternall
reproach
!
or
like
dumbe
dogges
bayed
not
when
they
sawe
the
wolfe
.
Idols
&
stockes
,
not
trusty
watchmen
:
who
sawe
the
sword
comming
,
and
gaue
no
warning
.
But
wonne
with
reward
,
or
amazed
with
feare
:
suffered
soules
to
be
seduced
.
The
Prince
frowning
:
and
commaunding
his
lawes
to
be
obserued
for
Gods
truth
;
They
staggered
as
men
dronke
:
all
their
wisdome
and
learning
was
gone
with
a
word
.
Holding
downe
their
heades
as
degenerate
:
&
shrinking
as
rammes
that
had
lost
their
hornes
:
In
steede
of
denouncing
to
people
their
daunger
:
and
deterring
them
from
iniquity
.
They
themselues
yealded
GODS
honour
to
man
:
and
augmented
the
scandall
by
their
example
.
Great
was
the
multitude
,
which
swaying
with
the
time
:
did
cut
off
themselues
from
the
body
of
Christendome
.
The
earth
was
infected
with
the
pride
thereof
:
and
the
aire
detested
so
great
abhomination
.
The
elementes
were
defiled
with
continuall
sacrileges
:
the
bloud
of
the
Saintes
cryed
vengeance
.
Angry
wast
thou
with
those
,
which
were
once
thy
beloued
people
:
and
disclaymedst
from
England
,
as
none
of
thine
inheritance
.
Also
deliueredst
vp
therefore
the
faint-harted
shepherdes
,
with
their
flockes
:
to
the
handes
of
their
mortall
enemies
.
Thy
Sacrifice
was
taken
from
an
vnworthy
generation
:
thy
Ceremonies
were
abolished
.
Vnder
name
of
diuine
seruice
were
obtruded
newe
rites
:
for
thy
Sonnes
body
,
a
bare
peece
of
bread
.
The
table
and
cup
of
Diuels
,
was
thrust
vpon
the
people
:
with
prayers
thereunto
belonging
.
Blasphemies
&
heresies
were
proclaymed
for
Gospell
:
and
all
mens
mouths
opened
against
heauen
.
England
,
ah
vngratefull
England
,
forgate
thee
the
liuing
God
:
and
felt
the
curse
of
hauing
a
child
to
her
King
.
Thus
the
bournes
became
desert
:
and
a
batefull
land
turned
to
a
soure
soile
.
Catholike
faith
here
first
planted
:
which
neither
Saxons
altered
,
nor
Dane
abolished
;
Which
the
Normans
rejected
not
:
which
so
many
ages
had
not
worne
out
;
Was
nowe
at
last
in
a
most
infortunate
age
:
corrupted
,
chaunged
,
&
destroyed
.
And
our
Nation
after
a
thousand
of
yeares
,
Apostated
from
thy
faith
:
to
the
which
it
was
first
conuerted
.
Yet
remembring
thy
former
mercies
:
thou
didst
dissolue
at
last
this
heauy
yoake
.
Sending
a
Debora
,
which
judged
Israell
in
peace
and
tranquillity
:
and
repared
the
late
ruines
.
But
too
soone
thou
tookest
her
away
:
for
the
vnworthinesse
of
her
subjectes
.
Quickly
was
thy
goodnesse
forgotten
:
the
Realme
returning
to
her
vomit
.
Thou
pouredst
forth
therefore
thine
indignation
in
aboundance
:
&
kindledst
all
thy
wrath
to
the
full
.
Thou
gauest
vs
ouer
to
our
owne
inuentions
:
suffering
vs
with
full
saile
to
make
our
course
.
Our
sinnes
deserued
no
lesse
:
yet
what
could
thy
wrath
doe
more
extreame
?
The
Nobility
to
their
owne
vtter
extirpation
:
shamefully
forsooke
their
Bishops
without
assistance
.
Who
constantly
in
defence
of
the
Church
:
pined
all
in
durance
and
perished
one
by
one
.
The
common
sort
went
vniuersally
to
the
golden
Calues
:
and
at
the
commaunders
voice
,
bowed
their
knees
to
Baall
.
Sincere
Christians
fled
from
Babilon
:
least
they
should
be
plunged
in
her
iniquities
.
Thou
determinedst
in
thy
wrathfull
fury
:
to
cast
of
England
for
euermore
.
To
let
it
runne
to
the
bottomelesse
pit
:
and
neuer
to
recall
it
to
the
faith
.
But
a
Moyses
stood
vp
before
thee
:
entreating
for
his
comfortlesse
country
.
Appeasing
thy
wrath
,
thou
saidst
vnto
him
:
prepare
thy selfe
to
be
my
instrument
.
For
I
will
reare
vp
a
newe
generation
,
of
Priestes
and
people
.
They
which
so
easily
forsooke
me
in
time
of
tentation
:
shall
not
enter
into
the
land
of
promise
.
Forthwith
didst
thou
puruey
in
a
straunge
lande
:
a
receptacle
for
thy
people
,
a
refuge
for
thy
persecuted
.
Choosing
out
such
as
it
pleased
thee
:
of
whome
to
frame
vessels
of
honour
.
Many
thou
drewst
to
thy
seruice
:
by
whome
the
Diuell
wished
to
set
forth
his
owne
glory
.
As
diligent
bees
they
gathered
hony
in
aboundance
:
for
succour
of
their
distressed
Country
.
Being
deliuered
like
Israelites
out
of
the
fornace
of
Aegipt
:
and
called
like
Abraham
from
house
and
kindred
.
Thou
inspiredst
them
with
desire
of
conuerting
soules
:
and
sentest
them
in
due
season
of
thy
haruest
.
Vnder
banner
of
a
second
Gregory
:
they
aduentured
the
second
conuersion
of
their
Nation
.
Opposing
themselues
to
the
streame
of
the
time
:
hope
against
hope
was
their
comfort
.
As
thou
gauest
them
learning
,
which
their
aduersaries
can
not
resist
:
so
constancy
,
which
they
can
not
ouercome
.
They
purchased
soules
by
their
Doctrine
:
and
confirmed
them
by
seale
of
their
bloud
.
Springes
of
health
were
opened
:
&
from
all
coastes
men
sought
helpe
of
their
maladies
.
The
cause
waxed
famous
:
men
beganne
to
lift
vp
their
eyes
,
and
flowe
to
the
Church
apace
.
Sound
of
the
Catholike
faith
,
pearced
through
the
Island
:
and
none
can
anie
more
pleade
ignorance
.
Darknesse
stroue
to
repell
light
:
not
able
to
endure
the
glimps
thereof
.
The
Diuell
armed
himselfe
with
furie
to
maintayne
his
KINGDOME
:
feelinge
the
foundation
thereof
to
tremble
.
Rigourous
lawes
were
made
:
and
executed
with
all
extreamity
.
Worse
and
worse
daylie
added
:
seuerity
finding
neither
end
,
nor
measure
.
In
these
tearmes
of
contradiction
(
O
ineffable
Majesty
)
standeth
thou
seest
,
our
miserable
Britany
.
Who
by
this
time
(
hadst
thou
not
sent
supply
)
had
become
worse
then
Sodome
and
Gomorrha
.
Iniquity
hath
ingendred
impiety
:
and
want
of
faith
,
hath
brought
forth
double
iniquity
.
Ah
thou
eldest
Daughter
of
Sion
:
howe
is
thy
beauty
faded
?
Howe
miserable
is
nowe
the
land
:
wont
to
be
so
happy
and
fortunate
?
The
Lady
of
Isles
is
become
like
a
perilous
rocke
:
which
farre
and
neere
is
shunned
for
danger
of
shipwracke
.
Or
as
a
cursed
quick-sand
:
infamous
through
destruction
of
many
passengers
swallowed
.
The
chiefe
of
Prouinces
is
become
the
basest
:
the
most
Religious
,
turned
to
most
sacrilegious
.
Woe
to
a
sinnefull
people
:
whose
burden
is
iniquity
.
Woe
to
an
Apostatrice
nation
:
who
like
an
Harlot
hath
broaken
her
faith
.
From
the
crowne
of
the
head
to
the
sole
of
the
foote
:
shee
is
full
of
sores
and
maladies
.
Who
is
able
to
cure
her
leprosie
:
and
to
remedy
her
loathsomenesse
?
She
is
proued
a
bastard
vine
:
and
degenerated
to
a
soure
grape
.
A
froward
bowe
,
which
will
rather
flie
in
peeces
:
then
come
to
the
bent
.
A
fruitlesse
and
barren
soile
:
not
answerable
to
the
sowers
hope
.
Against
thee
her
God
,
she
hath
lifted
vp
her
hand
:
against
the
omnipotent
she
hath
vaunted
her
feathers
.
With
a
proude
gate
,
and
lofty
countenance
,
she
hath
stalked
against
thee
:
as
though
she
would
checke
thee
to
thy
face
.
She
saith
I
am
safe
,
in
the
midest
of
waters
:
my
shippes
are
my
brasen
wall
.
Yet
is
she
flesh
,
and
not
a
spirit
:
a
worme
and
not
a
God
.
Be
it
that
she
soareth
as
high
as
an
Eagle
:
shee
should
be
reached
with
thy
arrowe
:
but
spare
her
,
O
Lord
.
Be
it
she
were
as
stronge
as
steele
,
shee
should
bee
dashed
in
peeces
by
thy
fury
:
but
mittigate
thy
wrath
.
She
extolleth
her selfe
in
conceipt
of
prosperity
:
and
vannteth
her
proceedinges
in
iniquity
.
In
a
moment
canst
thou
crush
her
bones
:
and
lay
her
pride
in
the
dust
:
but
,
oh
remember
thy
mercy
.
What-soeuer
this
people
thinketh
,
is
meere
iniquity
:
all
their
communication
,
is
conspiracy
against
heauen
,
and
treason
against
thee
.
They
haue
all
made
a
league
with
death
:
and
concluded
a
couenant
with
hell
.
Their
feete
are
swifte
to
euill
:
and
their
handes
stronge
to
doe
mischiefe
.
The
earth
it selfe
is
infected
with
wickednesse
of
the
inhabitants
:
and
cryeth
vnto
thee
for
vengeance
.
And
possibly
would
swallowe
them
,
as
it
did
Chore
and
his
company
:
were
it
not
for
thy
elect
sake
.
Reuenging
fire
of
Sodome
and
Gomorrha
,
might
be
justly
feared
:
if
the
faithfull
stayed
not
thy
rodde
.
If
any
forsake
iniquity
,
he
is
made
a
pray
:
our
chanels
flow
with
bloud
.
Who
did
euer
heare
such
horrible
thinges
:
as
this
people
commit
against
thee
their
maker
?
Degenerated
is
thy
vineyarde
and
turned
wilde
:
yealding
verjuce
for
wine
.
Thy
darling
and
vowed
Virgin
:
hath
giuen
ouer
her selfe
,
common
to
all
adulteries
.
To
Luther
and
Caluin
she
hath
opened
her
bosome
:
and
to
whome
so-euer
else
,
that
would
dishonour
her
.
She
hath
sought
her
louers
farre
and
neere
:
and
hired
teachers
for
her
itching
eares
.
She
careth
not
whome
she
admit
,
so
she
admit
not
thee
her
first
spouse
:
nor
whither
she
runne
,
so
she
flie
from
thy
face
.
As
a
woman
contemneth
her
husband
,
so
hath
she
contemned
thee
:
and
with
disdaine
turned
her
backe
.
Defending
her
iniquity
vnder
pretext
of
thy
glory
:
she
dareth
to
say
;
I
am
no
adulteresse
,
I
am
no
Apostatrice
.
Her
brasen
face
cannot
blush
:
her
impudent
minde
can
conceiue
no
repentance
.
But
if
she
harden
her
face
not
to
repent
:
harden
the
face
of
thy
messengers
to
reprehend
.
If
she
harden
her
face
to
persecute
:
harden
thou
their
face
to
withstand
.
Confirme
the
hartes
of
those
thy
labourers
:
endue
them
with
strength
from
aboue
,
and
giue
successe
vnto
their
endeauours
.
Whose
only
presence
representeth
in
some
sort
:
the
state
of
former
times
.
And
maintayneth
thy
holy
fire
:
that
it
goe
not
out
.
Diminish
not
their
number
,
because
of
our
sinnes
,
and
vnworthynesse
:
but
encrease
it
for
our
better
comfort
.
That
the
daylie
foode
of
our
soules
we
may
receiue
at
their
hands
:
and
not
want
their
assistance
in
our
extreamities
.
Protect
them
night
and
day
from
their
enemies
:
wheresoeuer
thy
busines
detayneth
them
.
Embolden
our
harts
with
courage
from
heauen
:
to
concurre
with
them
freely
in
furthering
thy
seruice
.
Fully
thereby
to
discharge
our
Christian
duty
:
and
be
partaker
of
their
reward
and
Crowne
.
So
may
they
build
apace
the
wales
of
thy
Hierusalem
:
and
winne
innumerable
soules
to
thy
Kingdome
.
So
may
they
speedily
bring
to
passe
:
that
auncient
happinesse
may
returne
.
So
may
thy
Temples
be
clensed
of
their
abhominations
:
returning
to
the
vse
whereunto
they
were
builded
.
No
longer
be
dennes
of
Diuels
:
and
instruments
of
thy
dishonour
.
Be
it
so
,
O
mighty
Patron
of
thy
afflicted
:
be
it
so
.
And
all
that
loue
their
Country
:
let
this
be
their
daylie
teares
.
A
CONTEMPLATION
OF
THE
BLESsed
state
of
a
Catholike
.
THE
FIPT
PSALME
.
COME
and
consider
with
me
the
sweetnesse
of
our
Lord
:
O
all
yee
,
that
be
of
his
holy
congregation
.
Come
and
consider
with
me
the
glory
of
his
Spouse
:
O
all
yee
,
that
dwell
in
her
Tabernacle
.
Come
and
consider
with
me
the
happinesse
of
your
owne
soules
:
yee
which
haue
entred
into
the
sanctuary
of
our
God
.
Meditate
his
goodnes
in
the
night
:
&
in
the
day
time
lift
vp
your
handes
vnto
his
holy
Seate
.
Great
is
he
,
and
worthy
of
all
prayse
:
thy
workes
beare
witnesse
of
thee
,
O
Lord
.
Thou
hast
erected
thy
Church
,
as
thy
Kingdome
vpon
earth
:
her
glory
shall
not
depart
from
the
lippes
of
thy
Saintes
.
In
thy
only
Sonne
it
was
founded
from
the
beginning
:
and
to
the
end
of
the
world
it
shall
endure
.
For
faithfull
art
thou
in
all
thy
wordes
:
and
holy
in
all
thy
workes
.
Iust
&
righteous
in
all
thy
wayes
:
and
perfect
in
thy
determinations
.
As
in
the
sunne-beames
,
thou
hast
placed
this
thy
Tabernacle
:
that
the
vertue
thereof
might
comfort
the
world
.
Vpon
an
hill
thou
hast
situated
thy
City
:
whither
all
people
should
repaire
for
lawes
,
and
doctrine
.
This
is
the
Queene
standing
at
thy
right
hand
:
glittering
in
gold
,
and
rich
attire
.
Thy
Spouse
,
whome
thou
canst
not
,
but
loue
:
thy
turtle
,
which
can
not
,
but
be
chast
and
true
.
The
piller
of
truth
:
whereupon
thy
faith
is
builded
.
The
rocke
,
against
which
hell
gates
shall
not
preuaile
.
The
ship
which
thou
permittest
to
be
tossed
:
but
neuer
sufferest
to
be
ouerwhelmed
.
The
arke
ordayned
to
saue
the
elect
:
out
of
which
who
so
is
found
,
perisheth
euerlastingly
.
The
sanctuary
of
refuge
:
whither
to
flie
from
the
anger
to
come
.
The
mount
of
thy
sanctification
:
which
the
right
hand
hath
conquered
.
The
inheritance
,
which
thou
hast
purchased
with
thy
Sonnes
bloud
.
A
pauilion
immoueable
:
whose
pinnes
can
neuer
bee
pulled
out
,
whose
cordes
can
neuer
be
broaken
.
A
high
and
strong
Castle
,
whose
walles
are
Adamant
:
against
which
no
strength
can
preuaile
.
A
massy
&
hard
stone
:
vpon
whome
it
lighteth
,
it
crusheth
him
in
peeces
.
All
benediction
thou
hast
bestowed
vpon
thy
Church
:
who
hath
not
her
for
Mother
,
shall
not
haue
thee
for
Father
.
In
her
only
thou
hast
established
thy
true
worship
:
and
confirmed
it
neuer
to
faile
.
As
other
people
haue
Gods
:
none
the
true
God
but
Christians
:
So
may
factions
adore
the
also
:
none
truly
and
fruitfully
,
but
thy
Catholike
Church
alone
.
Among
all
trees
thou
hast
chosen
one
Palme
:
among
al
birds
one
Doue
.
Among
all
flowres
thou
hast
preferred
one
Lilly
:
among
all
hilles
one
Sion
.
All
nations
are
thy
subjectes
and
creatures
:
but
we
thine
inheritance
.
Rejoyce
and
be
glad
,
yee
inhabitants
of
Hierusalem
:
among
whome
is
the
great
and
holy
one
of
Israell
.
Yee
are
all
like
Gods
:
the
true
children
of
the
Highest
.
Happy
are
the
eyes
,
which
see
that
yee
see
:
and
enjoy
the
presence
of
him
,
whome
yee
adore
Happy
are
the
eares
,
that
heare
,
what
yee
heare
:
and
the
harts
,
which
are
partakers
of
your
instructions
.
No
nation
vnder
heauen
hath
a
God
so
potent
,
so
louing
:
so
neere
to
them
,
which
worship
him
.
More
pretious
are
your
soules
in
his
sight
:
then
the
Phoenix
or
the
Vnicornes
fole
.
He
hath
raised
vnto
you
a
seate
of
mercy
:
whither
to
haue
recourse
for
remission
of
sinnes
.
And
prepared
a
table
for
your
refection
:
wherein
himselfe
is
the
banquet
and
feast
.
O
howe
delectable
are
thy
dainties
,
O
Lord
?
howe
acceptable
are
thy
holy
Altars
?
Much
better
are
the
reliques
there
of
:
then
the
exquisite
cates
of
princes
.
Much
better
is
it
to
be
an
abject
in
thy
houshold
:
then
a
great
man
in
Kings
Courtes
.
The
meanest
in
thy
Church
is
noble
:
the
poorest
in
thy
Church
is
rich
.
Who
is
able
to
expresse
the
magnificence
of
thy
Church
:
or
the
one
halfe
of
her
glory
?
We
haue
Priestes
rightly
consecrated
:
and
anointed
in
sacred
wise
.
Orderly
accomplishing
thy
dread
full
misteries
:
in
vestments
of
holynesse
and
honour
.
Monkes
,
and
other
Religious
persons
:
persisting
day
and
night
in
prayer
.
With
fasting
and
disciplines
afflicting
themselues
:
in
sackcloath
and
hayre
for
the
sinnes
of
the
people
.
Vowed
Virgins
,
veiled
handmaides
of
thy
Christ
:
by
like
order
of
life
contend
for
like
Crowne
.
And
fixing
him
profoundly
in
hart
:
whome
they
haue
chosen
as
celestiall
Spouse
.
Endeauour
nothing
else
,
then
to
be
perfect
in
his
sight
:
and
serue
him
without
distraction
.
Vpon
the
society
of
thy
faithfull
:
legions
of
Angels
attend
for
their
defence
.
Vpon
them
thy
eyes
are
perpetually
open
:
to
consider
their
wants
,
and
heare
their
prayers
.
Who
liueth
in
their
vnity
,
is
in
the
communion
of
Saintes
:
partaker
of
their
assistance
and
patronage
.
Hath
his
part
in
euery
good
deed
:
and
is
daylie
prayd
for
,
throughout
the
world
.
Who
dieth
a
liuely
member
of
this
holy
body
misticall
:
by
prayers
of
the
liuing
hath
remission
of
payne
.
Happy
art
thou
,
O
flocke
of
Peter
:
blessed
are
all
nations
,
subject
to
his
chaire
.
Where
sit
the
judges
of
the
house
of
Iacob
:
the
rodde
and
scepter
of
thy
Kingdome
,
O
Redeemer
.
Thy selfe
art
a
watchman
ouer
it
,
who
neuer
sleepest
:
a
protector
,
who
neuer
slumbrest
.
Whosoeuer
impugne
it
shall
rotte
as
they
liue
:
their
eyes
shall
sinke
,
and
their
tongue
shall
be
eaten
out
.
They
shall
perish
in
thy
fury
:
and
melt
like
waxe
before
the
fire
.
None
shall
resist
thy
Church
,
and
be
innocent
.
No
man
fighteth
against
her
without
foile
:
he
dasheth
his
fist
against
a
Rocke
.
Her
enemies
shall
licke
the
dust
of
her
feete
:
and
those
which
oppugned
her
,
kisse
her
steps
.
Such
as
will
not
,
shall
be
called
a
reprobate
company
:
with
whome
thou
wilt
exercise
eternall
wrath
.
Aboundance
of
blessinges
vpon
all
them
,
which
honour
her
:
and
curses
eternally
will
followe
them
,
which
vexe
her
.
Her
loue
and
mercy
is
more
:
then
the
tender
hart
of
a
Mother
.
Her
anger
more
to
be
feared
:
then
a
Princes
rage
.
In
her
remayneth
knowledge
,
which
can
not
erre
:
power
,
which
may
not
be
contradicted
.
In
her
is
the
treasure
of
thy
Sons
merits
reposed
.
In
her
possession
are
the
Keyes
of
thy
heauenly
Kingdome
.
Thou
art
her
teacher
:
that
shee
may
not
be
ignorant
.
The
holy
Ghost
is
her
sanctifier
:
to
preserue
her
from
iniquity
.
As
the
Moone
from
the
Sunne
fetcheth
her
light
:
so
is
she
illuminated
from
Christ
her
Spouse
.
In
her
only
dost
thou
raigne
with
magnificence
:
in
her
only
thou
art
to
be
found
.
Not
so
the
Sinagogue
of
the
wicked
:
not
so
the
congregation
of
Heretikes
.
Among
whome
,
as
in
his
Kingdome
,
sitteth
the
Prince
of
pride
:
who
hath
dominion
ouer
all
children
of
darknesse
.
Presuming
as
though
they
were
thy
counsailors
:
or
as
if
the
holy
Ghost
spake
in
their
eare
.
As
though
they
were
the
lampes
of
the
world
:
with
whome
Religion
was
borne
,
&
with
whome
it
should
die
.
They
say
to
the
auncient
Fathers
,
hold
your
peace
:
and
to
the
Doctors
of
the
Church
,
we
will
teach
you
wisedome
.
But
their
pride
is
more
then
their
power
:
for
thou
dwellest
not
in
harts
subject
to
sinfulnesse
.
Swelling
in
cogitations
of
their
harts
:
they
proudly
tosse
vp
their
heddes
,
as
vntamed
coltes
.
As
children
of
Belial
without
yoke
:
they
challenge
liberty
without
obedience
.
Priestes
they
make
to
themselues
for
their
newe
lawe
:
and
put
vpon
them
authority
,
which
they
cannot
giue
.
Like
Apostata
children
they
haue
made
assemblies
,
&
not
in
thy
name
:
begonne
a
webbe
,
and
not
in
thy
spirit
.
False
Prophets
sell
them
follies
and
lies
:
and
set
cushions
of
ease
vnder
sinners
elbowes
.
For
a
little
lucre
they
justifie
the
wicked
:
vpon
confidence
of
faith
,
they
assure
saluation
.
Peoples
sores
they
close
with
a
false
skinne
:
when
the
wound
festreth
,
they
say
all
is
well
.
Eating
in
effect
the
peoples
sinnes
:
and
cloathing
themselues
with
their
iniquities
.
In
steede
of
the
supersubstantiall
Bread
of
life
,
they
giue
them
Serpents
:
for
the
Chalice
of
saluation
,
poyson
of
Adders
.
Making
thee
more
vnjust
then
any
Tyrant
:
they
teach
that
thou
punishest
all
sinnes
with
equall
payne
.
And
that
without
difference
of
desertes
:
thou
rewardest
all
with
equall
glory
.
They
say
thou
canst
not
make
thy
Saints
and
Angels
,
to
vnderstand
our
prayers
:
nor
shewe
to
them
thinges
done
in
earth
.
They
foolishly
say
that
thou
wilt
not
haue
vs
honour
thy
friendes
:
and
that
thou
settest
litle
by
their
intercession
.
Denying
that
whose
sinnes
the
Church
forgiueth
,
are
forgiuen
in
heauen
:
they
say
thou
canst
not
giue
such
authority
to
man
.
Doubting
of
thy
Omnipotency
,
they
say
with
the
Capharnaits
:
howe
can
Christ
giue
vs
his
body
for
food
?
With
the
faithlesse
they
sticke
not
to
say
:
his
wordes
are
hard
,
and
who
can
beleeue
him
?
His
promise
of
being
with
his
Church
to
the
end
of
the
world
:
they
contemne
.
And
that
the
Holy
Ghost
shall
teach
her
all
truth
they
credit
not
.
Wanting
the
band
of
vnity
:
vnder
,
seuerall
heades
,
they
make
seuerall
companies
,
and
sects
.
Hauing
no
certayne
rule
of
faith
,
each
is
author
of
his
owne
beliefe
:
framing
a
Religion
by
priuate
fancy
.
Both
in
Doctrine
and
life
,
all
disorder
is
among
them
:
eternall
horrour
,
and
confusion
.
Oh
with
how
great
difference
(
most
supereminent
light
)
hast
thou
seperated
Israell
from
the
Aegyptians
?
So
plaine
hast
thou
made
the
high
way
of
truth
:
that
a
very
foole
neede
not
misse
the
path
.
Our
enemies
giue
testimony
to
our
faith
:
and
confesse
that
we
may
be
saued
therein
.
They
which
oppugne
it
doe
justifie
it
:
in
confessing
the
primitiue
Doctors
to
haue
erred
with
vs
.
And
thy
Church
not
vnmindefull
of
her
great
priuiledge
:
nor
vngratefull
for
thy
benefits
.
Honoureth
thee
alwaies
with
inward
purity
,
worthy
of
thy
holines
:
and
with
outward
ornaments
,
worthy
of
thy
Majesty
.
Seauen
times
in
the
day
shee
singeth
thy
prayses
:
and
prayeth
for
Catholikes
throughout
the
world
.
Heare
her
prayers
(
O
enemy
of
falshood
)
and
giue
all
the
earth
to
vnderstand
;
That
Heresie
is
a
tempest
raging
only
for
a
time
:
but
the
foundation
of
thy
Church
endureth
for
euer
.
A
PSALME
,
WHEREIN
THE
CATHOLIKE
CALleth
to
minde
his
conuersion
,
giuing
thankes
to
God
for
the
same
.
THE
SIXT
PSALME
.
MEDITATE
,
O
my
soule
,
a
newe
song
:
open
my
lips
to
a
psalme
of
thanksgiuing
.
Rejoyce
in
him
that
made
thee
:
rejoyce
in
him
that
redeemed
thee
.
Rejoyce
in
him
that
conserueth
thee
:
rejoyce
in
him
that
sanctifieth
thee
.
Rejoyce
in
thy
Lord
,
thy
God
:
rejoyce
in
thy
King
,
and
Captayne
.
He
hath
delighted
in
thee
,
and
loued
thee
:
and
exalted
thee
to
saluation
.
Lifted
vp
thy
head
:
and
awaked
thee
from
sleepe
of
death
.
Broaken
thy
bondes
asunder
,
and
set
thee
at
liberty
:
that
thou
shouldst
liue
acceptably
before
him
,
in
the
land
of
the
liuing
.
Whilst
thou
walkedst
peruerse
paths
,
he
regarding
thy
misery
:
determined
better
of
thee
,
then
thou
didst
deserue
.
From
thee
,
not
ceassing
to
offend
him
daylie
,
hee
turned
away
his
anger
:
and
kindled
not
all
his
wrath
.
His
eye
of
pitie
hee
fixed
vpon
thee
:
when
thou
wert
vtterly
vnmindfull
of
him
.
By
secreet
and
sundry
meanes
:
he
drewe
thee
to
his
seruice
.
Cleane
he
hath
wiped
thee
from
al
filth
:
placed
thee
in
a
faire
way
,
and
bid
thee
walke
therein
.
As
the
potter
frameth
his
vessell
,
or
the
jueller
polisheth
his
pretious
stone
:
so
laboured
he
thee
,
to
his
holy
purpose
.
By
open
examples
:
by
priuie
inspirations
.
By
threats
and
allurements
,
by
prosperity
and
aduersity
:
he
ceassed
not
to
call
thee
.
Aproach
therefore
,
O
yee
,
which
feare
our
Lord
:
herken
what
great
mercy
hee
hath
performed
in
my
soule
.
I
will
sing
vnto
him
for
his
abundant
clemency
:
I
will
prayse
the
name
of
the
Highest
.
He
who
from
a-loft
,
watreth
the
hilles
with
sweete
showres
:
that
the
earth
may
bring
forth
her
encrease
;
Hath
refreshed
my
barraine
soule
with
heauenly
dewes
of
grace
:
that
it
may
waxe
fruitfull
to
righteousnesse
.
Hee
who
prouideth
wherewith
the
beastes
of
the
desert
may
quench
their
thirst
:
Hath
not
suffered
my
soule
:
to
perish
in
a
desolate
lande
.
He
which
neasteth
the
birdes
in
trees
,
and
fowles
in
the
rockes
:
hath
placed
me
in
the
tree
of
his
owne
planting
,
and
in
the
rocke
of
his
owne
foundation
.
Thou
gauest
me
knowledge
,
O
my
God
,
to
seeke
remission
of
sins
:
and
inckling
to
flie
from
the
wrath
to
come
.
As
the
day-starre
arising
from
the
East
:
thou
shalt
chase
darknes
from
my
hart
.
I
heard
thy
voyce
as
a
whispering
in
mine
eare
,
and
trembled
thereat
:
I
felt
thy
knocking
,
as
of
one
desirous
to
be
let
in
.
So
had
I
often
donne
before
,
but
still
was
obstinate
:
exasperating
too
too
much
thy
long
patience
.
Pardon
me
,
O
Lord
,
that
I
was
so
dull
to
heare
thee
:
pardon
me
,
and
I
will
redeeme
those
dayes
with
great
diligence
.
Pardon
me
,
for
thou
knowest
we
are
flesh
and
bloud
:
prone
to
euill
,
and
slowe
to
piety
.
At
last
thou
calledst
me
with
an
effectuall
voice
:
and
I
answered
,
I
am
ready
.
For
why
thou
knewest
what
was
fittest
to
mooue
me
:
and
gauest
me
thy
hand
to
helpe
me
vp
.
I
cast
off
my
former
damnable
sloath
:
and
set
forward
my
feete
to
the
pathes
of
peace
.
I
saide
to
my selfe
,
hie
thee
O
wreatch
,
into
the
house
of
God
:
into
the
lappe
of
his
holy
Spouse
.
I
resolued
to
take
no
repast
,
nor
enter
into
the
bed
of
my
repose
:
vntill
my
soule
were
made
the
Temple
of
the
Holy
ghost
.
Vntill
shee
had
made
her
peace
with
the
Almighty
:
and
were
purged
of
her
iniquities
;
Wherby
endued
with
grace
I
might
securely
go
to
rest
:
&
sleep
in
saluation
I
bowed
my
knees
,
and
lifting
vp
my
handes
:
humbly
besought
thee
,
Author
of
all
goodnesse
;
Happily
to
accomplish
the
worke
which
thou
hadst
begone
in
me
:
and
to
set
me
in
state
of
grace
.
Thou
heardst
my
prayer
:
and
I
atchieued
the
just
desire
of
my
hart
.
I
sought
earnestly
to
finde
one
of
thine
anointed
:
for
discharge
of
my
conscience
.
One
of
those
whome
thou
hast
chosen
:
and
sent
to
guide
people
to
thy
Kingdome
.
To
whome
Christ
bequeathed
the
exercise
of
his
function
:
as
he
before
had
receiued
it
of
his
Father
.
To
whome
hee
gaue
the
Holy
Ghost
:
promising
that
in
forgiuing
or
loosing
sinners
,
their
judgement
he
would
ratifie
.
In
whome
hee
hath
placed
the
word
of
reconciliation
:
and
the
administration
of
his
holy
Testament
.
Sending
them
as
Embassadors
to
declare
his
will
:
and
commaunding
to
receiue
them
as
representers
of
his
owne
person
.
Hard
was
it
for
me
to
finde
such
one
of
thy
seruants
:
for
the
dayes
of
Elias
are
returned
,
when
the
Prophets
were
hidden
in
caues
.
Yet
thou
gauest
me
fauour
in
the
sight
of
thy
Sunamite
:
I
was
admitted
to
speech
of
the
heauenly
Physician
.
Embracing
his
spirituall
exhortation
:
in
solitarynes
I
began
to
prepare
.
I
sate
downe
&
streightly
examined
my
soule
:
as
he
,
which
is
to
render
account
of
most
weighty
matters
.
Our
aduersary
the
Diuel
stood
on
my
left
side
,
and
said
:
wilt
thou
confesse
thy
secrets
to
a
sinnefull
man
?
I
answered
,
auant
Satan
,
who
hauing
made
me
impudent
to
sinne
:
suggestest
shame
of
repentance
.
He
wished
me
to
differ
till
a
fitter
time
:
and
said
,
there
was
no
hast
.
But
considering
howe
long
I
had
prouoked
thy
patience
:
I
feared
by
sodain
summos
of
death
,
to
be
taught
vnprouided
.
He
proposed
danger
of
the
lawe
:
I
replied
,
that
God
was
to
be
obeyed
before
Princes
.
He
objected
that
the
Lord
only
forgiueth
sinnes
:
I
answered
,
that
from
him
only
I
expected
remission
,
but
by
ministery
of
man
.
As
likewise
in
thy
name
(
O
mighty
of
mightiest
)
Physitions
heale
,
and
thy
Saintes
worke
miracles
,
thou
being
the
author
of
both
.
I
letted
not
therefore
to
disclose
my
sinnes
to
thy
seruant
:
that
I
might
of
him
receiue
absolution
,
and
counsaile
.
I
discouered
euen
my
most
secret
sores
,
as
to
a
skilfull
Chirurgion
:
and
obtayned
with
health
,
holsome
preseruatiues
.
Recounting
my
sinnes
in
the
bitternesse
of
my
soule
:
I
accused
my selfe
with
my
owne
lippes
.
I
sorrowed
for
all
,
knowing
that
thou
wilt
not
be
serued
by
halues
:
and
that
thou
acceptest
not
him
,
which
renounceth
not
euery
sinne
.
I
confessed
all
:
knowing
that
cursed
is
he
,
who
lieth
to
the
holy
ghost
.
Abhominable
is
a
dissembler
in
thy
Sacraments
:
&
his
fruit
as
of
him
,
who
layeth
venime
to
his
wound
.
Or
thinketh
to
be
eased
of
his
burden
:
when
he
foolishly
addeth
a
mighty
weight
to
his
backe
.
I
ouercame
shame
,
and
endured
to
blush
:
that
in
the
world
to
come
I
might
not
be
confounded
.
But
,
oh
howe
soone
did
I
receiue
the
reward
of
my
labour
:
who
can
expresse
the
sweetnesse
that
I
found
in
my
soule
?
I
tasted
of
thy
dainties
(
O
Soueraigne
sweetnesse
)
which
thou
hast
reserued
for
them
,
which
feare
thee
.
The
excellency
whereof
none
can
imagin
:
but
they
only
which
proue
it
.
A
droppe
(
as
it
were
)
I
felt
of
the
celestiall
fountayne
:
wherewith
thou
blessest
thy
Saints
and
Angels
.
A
testimony
of
thy
inuisible
grace
;
a
seale
of
the
remission
of
my
sinnes
:
a
pledge
of
eternall
glory
.
When
shall
the
memory
of
that
time
be
renewed
:
by
experiment
of
like
joy
?
Which
while
I
tasted
I
could
hunger
nothing
else
,
then
righteousnes
:
nor
thirst
any
thing
,
but
the
Kingdome
of
heauen
.
I
said
boldly
,
come
death
nowe
when
thou
wilt
:
I
haue
vnburdned
my
soule
,
and
am
ready
.
Flie
Satan
,
I
renounce
thee
for
euer
:
thou
hast
no
part
in
me
at
all
.
The
bloud
of
our
LORD
hath
washed
me
:
and
the
merit
of
his
Passion
hath
made
me
hole
.
Nowe
finde
I
them
lyers
,
which
slaundered
our
holy
Mother
:
terrifying
me
from
her
Paradise
.
Sects
haue
a
shadowe
and
name
of
Religion
:
not
like
thy
lawe
,
O
Lord
.
I
found
thy
faith
to
be
vnspotted
:
without
stayne
of
any
folly
.
Conuerting
soules
from
their
sinfull
wayes
:
and
giuing
wisdome
to
the
ignorant
.
Pearcing
to
the
very
hart
:
and
comfortable
to
a
single
spirit
.
Quickly
was
my
desolation
turned
to
joy
:
thou
claddedst
me
with
consolation
,
as
with
a
robe
.
Nowe
therefore
being
redeemed
by
my
Maker
:
from
the
hands
of
the
enemy
;
I
confesse
that
he
is
gentle
,
good
,
and
exceeding
bountifull
:
and
his
mercy
endureth
for
euer
.
I
sate
in
darknesse
,
and
in
the
shadowe
of
death
:
and
there
was
none
to
helpe
me
.
I
cried
vnto
him
,
&
he
ayded
me
:
breaking
my
fetters
in
sunder
.
Had
he
not
assisted
me
:
the
enemy
had
euen
swallowed
me
quicke
.
Blessed
be
his
holy
name
:
who
gaue
me
not
for
a
pray
to
the
Dragons
jawes
.
As
a
litle
bird
I
escaped
the
fowlers
net
:
as
the
silly
hare
from
the
pursuing
gray-hound
.
By
the
old
aduersary
of
mankinde
I
had
beene
seduced
:
and
supplanted
by
his
malice
.
My
God
streatched
out
his
potent
hand
:
deliuering
me
from
the
violent
streame
.
Who
caught
me
in
his
armes
,
as
if
a
father
should
catch
his
child
:
from
the
deuouring
beare
.
Because
he
loued
me
,
he
sought
my
saluation
:
not
suffering
the
enemy
to
triumph
.
Prayse
him
therefore
,
O
my
soule
:
be
not
vngratefull
for
his
benefits
.
Forget
not
what
he
hath
done
for
thee
:
preuenting
thee
in
his
blessinges
.
He
hath
made
thee
flourish
afresh
:
as
in
the
yeares
of
thy
first
regeneration
.
Restoring
thy
innocency
againe
:
and
renewing
thy
youth
as
an
Eagle
.
As
farre
as
heauen
is
from
earth
,
or
East
from
West
:
so
farre
hath
he
remooued
from
thee
thine
iniquities
.
He
hath
crowned
thee
with
better
then
pretious
stones
:
all
parts
and
powers
within
mee
,
magnifie
his
mercy
.
I
staggered
in
attempting
my
saluation
:
the
difficulties
of
the
time
amazed
me
.
Thou
girdedst
me
with
vertue
:
&
vnder
thy
protection
I
ouercame
those
tentations
.
I
was
slowe
and
weake
,
thou
madest
me
swift
like
an
Hart
:
that
I
ran
forwardes
without
impediment
.
Thou
hast
taught
me
to
fight
manfully
against
the
enemy
:
and
confirmed
my
hart
to
be
thy
champion
.
Thou
hast
raised
me
from
worse
then
the
dunghill
:
and
placed
me
amongst
thy
holy
,
&
princely
people
.
Out
of
the
lake
of
misery
thou
hast
pulled
me
:
and
from
the
dirty
dregs
of
sinne
,
&
heresie
,
thou
hast
drawne
me
forth
.
From
Deaths
dore
thou
reuiuedst
me
:
from
Hel-gates
thou
broughtest
me
backe
.
Oft
to
the
barren
thou
sendest
children
:
to
me
an
orphane
thou
gauest
thy
Spouse
for
a
Mother
.
Many
wonderfull
thinges
thou
bring
est
to
passe
:
none
more
strange
doe
I
knowe
,
then
the
conuersion
of
my
hard
hart
.
Many
wayes
thy
mercy
sheweth
it selfe
:
but
neuer
more
then
in
pardoning
my
offences
.
What
should
I
say
,
O
Lord
?
thou
hast
engraffed
thy
name
in
my
hart
:
and
enroled
my
name
in
thy
booke
of
life
.
Thou
hast
shrowded
mee
in
thy
tabernacle
:
against
the
day
of
wrath
;
Opening
to
me
the
gates
:
where
none
but
the
just
enter
.
In
vaine
haue
the
fiends
like
foxes
sought
my
soule
:
departing
voide
of
their
expectation
.
I
will
loue
thee
therefore
,
O
my
aide
and
refuge
:
my
strength
,
and
the
foundation
of
my
hope
.
The
new
tune
which
thou
hast
giuen
to
my
mouth
:
I
wil
alwayes
sing
.
I
will
offer
before
thy
Altar
a
Sacrifice
of
prayse
:
in
the
sight
of
thy
Angels
&
Saints
I
will
giue
thankes
.
The
cup
of
thy
Crosse
I
will
expect
:
desiring
to
suffer
for
thy
sake
.
What
other
way
can
I
be
answerable
to
thy
giftes
?
or
how
can
I
doe
this
also
,
except
thou
giue
it
.
Thou
needest
neither
me
,
nor
my
good
deedes
:
thou
hast
chosen
me
,
and
not
I
thee
,
O
Redeemer
.
My
conuersion
was
thy
handy-worke
:
without
whose
assistance
I
can
not
thinke
a
good
thought
.
Who
am
I
,
O
Fountayne
of
goodnesse
:
that
thou
thus
shouldest
manifest
thy selfe
vnto
me
?
That
suffering
thousandes
to
wallowe
still
in
wickednesse
:
thou
chosest
me
on
whome
to
shewe
mercy
.
Neither
tookest
me
out
of
this
life
in
time
of
blindnesse
:
in
midest
of
mine
iniquities
.
To
thy selfe
,
O
Lord
,
to
thy selfe
:
bee
the
glory
of
this
thy
mercifull
kindnesse
.
Let
the
heauens
prayse
thee
for
it
:
and
in
earth
others
be
conuerted
by
my
example
.
Let
my
daylie
endeauours
be
to
further
thy
faith
:
and
drawe
others
to
the
delectable
spring
,
wherewith
my selfe
haue
beene
refreshed
.
So
shall
thy
graces
in
some
sort
redound
to
thee
againe
:
as
floodes
returne
to
the
Sea
.
So
shall
I
not
perish
like
an
vnfruitfull
tree
:
which
leaueth
not
his
like
behinde
.
Prayse
yee
meane-space
,
your
Creator
and
mine
,
O
yee
his
Angels
:
who
rejoyce
at
conuersion
of
euery
sinner
.
Who
perpetually
execute
his
wil
:
without
declining
at
any
time
from
his
hests
.
Prayse
yee
him
,
O
his
holy
Priests
:
messengers
of
his
will
,
shepherdes
of
his
folde
:
by
whose
handes
he
reconcileth
sinners
.
Prayse
yee
him
,
O
al
yee
my
Brethren
:
partakers
of
like
saluation
.
Whome
of
caytiues
plunged
in
like
errours
:
he
hath
justified
,
and
made
righteous
.
Prayse
yee
him
,
O
all
his
seruants
:
neuer
yet
entangled
with
like
misery
.
Prayse
him
,
O
my
soule
,
whilst
thou
quicknest
my
body
:
when
thou
partest
by
death
,
ceasse
not
to
doe
the
same
.
And
when
thou
receiuest
the
body
againe
:
prayse
him
perfectly
without
end
.
AN
IMPLORATION
OF
DIVINE
GRACE
,
against
temptations
of
Religion
.
THE
SEAVENTH
PSALME
.
THOV
taughtest
me
perfect
wisdome
in
my
first
conuersion
,
O
Lord
:
and
I
verily
trusted
neuer
more
to
be
shaken
.
In
the
day
of
her
reconciliation
,
thou
saidst
vnto
my
soule
:
nowe
art
thou
my
faire
Spouse
,
this
day
haue
I
assumed
thee
.
Why
then
doth
the
tempter
whisper
in
my
eare
,
and
say
:
howe
long
wilt
thou
serue
thy
GOD
in
vaine
?
Why
doe
the
speeches
of
those
mooue
my
minde
:
who
saying
they
loue
me
well
,
vpbraide
me
to
my
face
of
follie
.
Objecting
that
I
spend
my
age
in
wilfull
calamity
:
neither
reape
the
pleasure
of
my
life
.
Remember
,
O
Lord
,
the
comfortable
word
:
that
thou
spakest
to
my
hart
.
Preserue
me
still
among
the
generation
,
which
seeketh
thee
:
which
alone
enjoyeth
thy
presence
&
protection
.
Which
with
vndefiled
lippes
and
cleane
hart
,
offer
vp
day
lie
sacrifices
:
and
magnifie
thy
holy
name
.
Among
whome
only
,
is
saluation
to
be
hoped
for
:
and
thy
true
honour
to
be
found
.
Let
mee
alwayes
put
my
trust
in
thee
:
and
neuer
be
ashamed
of
the
God
of
my
forefathers
;
Nor
deny
my selfe
:
to
be
of
his
holy
chosen
company
.
Keepe
me
,
O
my
maker
;
that
neuer
in
thought
,
word
,
or
deede
:
I
consent
to
rites
of
a
straunge
Religion
,
or
partake
in
their
actions
.
Neither
openly
,
nor
priuily
,
in
speech
nor
silence
:
by
action
nor
omission
,
or
any
signe
whatsoeuer
.
Least
I
bee
enwrapped
in
their
plagues
,
because
of
their
company
:
and
drinke
the
cup
of
their
damnation
.
Let
neither
friendship
,
nor
hatred
:
profit
nor
losse
;
Payne
nor
pleasure
,
life
nor
death
:
separate
me
from
thy
Church
.
Suffer
not
that
my
brethren
,
and
fellowe
seruants
:
stumble
by
my
example
,
to
their
ruine
;
Or
say
of
me
;
see
howe
he
hath
lost
his
part
in
Israell
:
his
inheritance
aboue
the
starres
.
Loe
howe
he
was
not
built
vpon
a
rocke
,
but
vpon
sand
:
great
and
shamefull
is
his
fall
.
Permit
not
that
my
ghostly
enemies
scorne
at
me
,
and
point
me
out
:
this
is
he
,
whose
soule
we
haue
seduced
.
Who
beganne
a
worke
,
and
could
not
finish
it
:
satisfying
our
eyes
with
his
disgrace
.
Let
not
the
aduersaries
of
thy
law
and
testament
:
triumph
ouer
me
as
of
a
conquest
.
Conceiuing
by
my
example
that
more
will
yeald
:
and
fewe
resist
a
cruell
assault
.
And
that
we
esteeme
no
more
of
our
faith
,
then
they
of
theirs
:
nor
haue
assured
certainty
of
our
Religion
.
Forbidde
the
fowles
of
the
ayre
,
the
fiendes
of
hell
:
to
take
from
my
hart
the
seede
,
which
thou
hast
sowen
.
Forbidde
that
either
riches
and
cares
choke
it
:
or
the
heate
of
persecution
wither
it
.
Forbidde
that
perswasions
of
carnall
friends
should
corrupt
it
:
or
any
thing
else
hinder
the
encrease
thereof
.
Fie
,
that
wealth
should
be
dearer
to
me
,
then
my
faith
▪
or
worldlie
friendes
,
then
my
God
.
Heretofore
I
comforted
other
:
and
when
I
am
touched
my selfe
,
shall
I
tremble
?
Where
is
then
my
awe
and
loue
?
where
is
sortitude
and
patience
?
Where
is
the
dutie
of
a
Christian
man
become
?
The
constancie
and
seruice
,
which
I
owe
to
thee
my
GOD
,
I
will
alwaies
keepe
:
to
thee
my
life
shall
liue
.
The
word
of
truth
take
not
out
of
my
mouth
:
for
in
thee
is
all
my
confidence
.
Cursed
are
they
:
which
decline
from
thy
Commandements
.
All
iniquity
therefore
bee
farre
from
me
:
still
may
I
cleaue
to
thy
lawe
.
Dilate
my
hart
,
comfort
my
spirit
:
that
I
may
cheerefully
runne
my
race
,
and
gayne
my
crowne
.
Shall
I
not
loue
thee
:
whome
only
I
ought
to
serue
?
Shall
I
joyne
with
thy
enemies
:
in
their
prouocations
and
blasphemies
?
Or
shall
I
lie
with
my
lippes
,
and
say
I
loue
thee
:
when
I
doe
not
followe
thee
?
No
,
no
,
I
will
confesse
thy
Religion
:
neither
before
people
,
or
Magistrate
will
I
be
ashamed
.
Least
thou
deny
me
likewise
at
the
latter
day
:
and
before
thy
Angels
and
Saints
,
put
me
to
confusion
.
If
they
vrge
me
with
obedience
:
I
will
not
let
to
tell
them
,
that
God
must
be
obeyed
before
man
.
If
they
threaten
paynes
:
I
will
set
before
mine
eyes
the
euerlasting
torments
,
prepared
for
rennegats
.
I
will
tell
them
,
that
whatsoeuer
they
can
doe
:
must
haue
a
short
end
.
Happy
man
,
who
escapeth
paines
:
which
neuer
cease
.
If
they
punish
me
,
I
will
with
thy
Apostles
rejoyce
:
that
thou
hast
vouchsafed
me
,
to
suffer
for
thy
sake
.
If
they
kill
me
,
it
is
the
vtmost
of
their
power
:
and
the
beginning
of
my
glory
.
Yet
know
I
that
Satan
is
chayned
:
and
can
not
hurt
a
hayre
,
but
by
thy
permission
.
Thou
art
my
light
,
and
my
saluation
,
whome
should
I
feare
?
thou
art
my
protector
,
whereat
should
I
quake
?
Heauen
fall
;
the
earth
sinke
:
the
whole
frame
of
the
world
turne
vpside
downe
;
All
that
is
therein
runne
to
confufusion
:
chaunce
whatsoeuer
may
chaunce
;
Rather
then
that
I
forsake
my
faith
:
by
renouncing
to
be
of
thy
holy
congregation
.
One
thing
only
is
necessary
,
O
my
Lord
,
and
my
God
:
to
serue
thee
stedfastly
;
and
all
thinges
else
are
vaine
.
In
this
happy
course
begonne
:
graunt
that
I
faint
not
,
during
my
life
.
The
zeale
which
thou
once
didst
in
me
kindle
:
suffer
not
to
waxe
cold
.
Let
not
the
spirit
of
thy
loue
:
be
in
me
extinguished
.
Though
I
forsake
all
for
the
pretious
pearle
:
which
thou
hast
reuealed
vnto
the
world
:
Yea
though
I
forsake
my selfe
also
:
I
buy
it
not
too
deare
.
Thou
hast
shewed
me
a
hidden
treasure
:
the
price
of
the
field
,
I
must
,
and
will
pay
.
This
only
with
Dauid
I
aske
of
thy
diuine
Majesty
:
to
dwell
in
thy
house
all
the
dayes
of
my
life
.
To
be
a
member
of
thy
holy
body
mysticall
:
a
childe
of
thy
Spouse
for
euer
.
That
I
may
be
partaker
:
of
thy
perpetuall
Sacrifice
;
Whereby
thy
Passion
is
applyed
vnto
vs
:
and
we
reape
the
fruit
of
our
redemption
.
Giue
me
thy
grace
,
O
thou
which
sanctifiest
soules
:
giue
me
strength
and
courage
,
giue
me
wisdome
and
patience
.
Then
,
though
a
thousand
fall
on
my
right
side
,
and
ten
thousand
on
my
left
:
yet
will
I
stand
.
Though
those
,
which
shine
like
the
Sunne
and
Moone
,
fall
from
thy
kingdome
:
yet
will
I
be
stedfast
.
Thou
forsakest
none
,
except
they
first
forsake
thee
:
confirme
therefore
my
heart
,
that
it
may
neuer
quaile
Confidence
in
mine
owne
power
I
haue
none
:
but
what
is
it
that
in
thee
,
I
dare
not
vndertake
?
In
thee
,
who
art
the
mightiest
,
haue
I
placed
my
hope
:
thou
art
my
refuge
,
to
thee
I
commend
my selfe
.
Thou
shalt
deliuer
mee
from
the
open
arrowe
by
day
:
and
from
darke
daungers
of
secret
malice
.
From
the
Day-diuell
,
and
temptations
:
which
comming
in
their
owne
likenesse
,
dare
shewe
their
face
.
And
from
the
night
spirits
:
which
shroude
themselues
vnder
faire
pretences
.
Whatsoeuer
become
of
me
,
to
thy
blessed
will
I
resigne
vp
my selfe
:
my
fortune
is
in
thy
hand
.
Great
,
O
Lord
,
art
thou
;
great
is
thy
might
:
and
thy
wisdome
is
incomprehensible
.
Many
perils
our
frailty
is
wont
to
fore-cast
:
still
we
cry
,
fearing
to
be
drowned
.
But
if
we
delight
in
thee
thou
wilt
,
thou
wilt
giue
vs
our
desires
:
and
bring
those
feares
to
nothing
.
Men
will
forge
excuses
:
to
serue
their
turne
.
And
a
thousand
shiftes
iniquity
searcheth
:
to
build
vnto
it selfe
a
sinnefull
,
and
false
security
.
Thou
searchest
the
harts
&
peines
:
discerning
easily
howe
men
flatter
themselues
.
Shall
I
(
as
diuers
doe
)
blind
mine
eyes
,
least
I
should
see
?
or
when
I
see
,
shall
I
not
vnderstand
?
Shall
I
seeke
darknesse
in
the
open
Sunne
:
and
subject
my
conscience
to
my
will
?
Direct
my
paths
according
to
thy
lawe
:
that
vnrighteousnesse
neuer
subdue
me
.
Regard
my
affliction
and
combat
:
dispose
of
me
according
to
thy
prouidence
ouer
the
Elect.
Keepe
my
feete
from
sliding
,
and
be
still
before
mine
eyes
:
preserue
my
soule
from
the
death
of
deadly
sinne
.
For
those
which
so
die
inherit
not
with
thee
:
but
with
them
in
whose
seruice
they
partake
.
Thou
hast
once
lightned
my
lampe
:
keepe
me
therefore
euermore
from
darknesse
.
Examples
sometime
doe
giue
me
scandall
:
prouoking
my
hart
in
like
sort
to
ralent
.
Ah
wreatch
that
I
were
:
if
I
relied
my
soule
vpon
such
shattered
reedes
;
And
would
(
as
it
were
)
for
company
:
post
forward
to
hell
.
Whereas
holy
examples
are
plentifull
:
of
glorious
Confessors
,
which
fill
the
prisons
.
It
hath
come
to
my
minde
,
that
I
may
be
saued
at
the
last
:
and
repent
when
Death
knocks
at
the
doore
.
A
foole
,
whosoeuer
so
ventureth
eternall
damnation
:
not
knowing
howe
soone
he
shall
be
cited
to
appeare
.
Thy
grace
is
not
alwayes
at
commaundement
:
and
vncertayne
is
the
valewe
of
constrayned
repentance
.
The
tempter
hath
suggested
that
thou
art
mercifull
:
and
wilt
easily
enough
forgiue
.
But
thy
mercy
and
clemency
I
haue
already
prooued
:
in
expecting
me
to
saluation
;
In
not
striking
me
in
midst
of
my
sinnes
:
and
taking
me
away
in
mine
ignorance
.
It
is
nowe
time
to
thinke
of
thy
judgementes
:
and
hazard
no
more
to
prouoke
thy
wrath
.
Who
assurest
vs
that
thou
art
a
seuere
Iudge
:
and
comparest
thy self
to
a
soure
Master
.
The
wilie
Serpent
hath
put
into
my
head
:
that
the
secret
of
my
conscience
,
I
may
to
my selfe
reserue
.
But
thou
commaundest
not
to
dissemble
Religion
:
but
precisely
to
stand
vpon
profession
of
a
Catholike
.
He
would
make
me
beleeue
that
there
is
small
diuersity
:
whereas
their
faith
is
blasphemy
,
or
ours
Idolatry
.
The
Diuell
therefore
once
chased
from
my
soule
:
neuer
more
may
be
returne
to
his
former
habitation
.
Hauing
once
set
my
hand
to
the
plough
:
no
more
must
I
looke
back
,
least
I
become
vnfit
for
thy
Kingdome
.
Being
deliuered
out
of
Sodome
,
I
must
no
more
minde
it
:
but
remember
the
dreadfull
example
of
Lots
wife
;
Whome
thou
turnedst
into
a
piller
of
falt
:
a
perpetuall
monument
of
an
vnstedfast
,
and
vnseasoned
hart
.
Saue
me
(
O
my
Sauiour
)
from
all
such
vnstablenesse
:
that
during
my
life
,
I
may
prayse
thee
in
thy
house
.
Make
me
to
flourish
like
a
bay
:
within
precincts
of
thy
Court.
Least
I
wither
in
my
prime
:
and
enter
quicke
into
hell-gates
.
Least
my
latter
sinnes
become
more
grieuous
then
the
former
:
and
my
end
worse
then
my
beginning
.
Nowe
is
the
time
of
triall
:
nowe
proouest
thou
my
loyaltie
.
Our
state
is
a
warrefare
:
and
nowe
is
the
houre
of
battaile
.
If
I
streatch
out
my
hande
to
a
straunge
sect
:
wilt
thou
not
reuenge
it
with
rigour
?
If
I
betray
thee
:
shall
I
remayne
vnpunished
?
Stand
stedfast
in
justice
,
O
my
soule
:
depart
not
from
the
Tabernacle
and
tents
of
thy
God
.
Then
may
I
with
confidence
shew
my
face
:
and
not
be
afraid
at
the
terrible
day
.
I
shall
depart
this
life
in
a
good
hope
:
my
bones
shall
rest
in
security
.
Litle
it
is
that
I
can
suffer
for
thy
sake
,
O
bountifull
King
:
and
greater
scourges
the
wicked
themselues
sustayne
.
My
storme
shall
passe
:
and
when
I
seeme
consumed
;
At
euening
shall
brightnesse
and
felicity
arise
:
as
if
the
Sunne
were
at
his
highest
.
Vnder
the
shadowe
of
thy
winge
I
will
shrowde
my selfe
:
vntill
the
dayes
of
desolation
be
passed
ouer
.
Obseruing
my
profession
&
faith
:
my
duety
,
purpose
,
promise
,
and
allegeance
vnto
thee
,
O
my
God
.
FOVRE
LAMENTATIONS
,
WHICH
COMPOSFD
IN
THE
HARD
TIMES
OF
QVEENE
ELIzabeth
,
may
be
vsed
at
all
times
,
when
the
Church
hapneth
to
be
extreamely
persecuted
.
The
first
Lamentation
.
BEHOLD
,
Behold
,
O
thou
eternall
eye
,
which
neuer
sleepest
:
behold
the
daily
vexations
of
thy
faithful
.
See
howe
they
are
had
in
chase
:
and
deuoured
euery
houre
.
Regard
how
thy
shippe
is
tossed
:
&
conduct
her
to
the
hauen
of
peace
.
The
Seas
swell
,
the
skyes
loure
:
the
aire
is
cladde
with
dusky
and
grisly
weedes
.
The
waters
lift
vp
their
voice
:
the
tempestuous
billowes
roare
.
The
windes
hideously
torment
our
labouring
barke
:
and
all
the
elements
seeme
to
conspire
our
raine
.
Wicked
fury
houleth
against
vs
,
crying
out
:
when
shall
they
be
plucked
vp
by
the
rootes
?
when
shall
their
name
perish
?
All
bowels
of
mercy
are
shut
vp
:
and
before
our
face
they
consult
vpon
our
liues
.
Daylie
doe
the
pangues
of
death
discouer
themselues
:
we
are
as
those
which
expect
their
last
houre
.
Our
life
hangeth
by
a
small
thred
:
our
feete
are
entring
into
the
graue
.
We
passe
through
fire
and
water
,
through
nets
and
snares
:
and
a-midst
the
haunt
of
sauage
beastes
.
We
must
looke
to
our
steps
,
as
if
we
walked
among
Serpents
:
for
many
are
they
,
which
lie
in
wait
to
annoy
vs
.
Our
dwelling
is
worse
then
among
Scorpions
:
and
Cockatrice
eyes
lurke
vnder
euery
couert
.
We
lie
open
to
accusation
of
euery
dissolute
vnthrift
:
to
the
injuries
of
euery
froward
companion
.
To
the
vnsatiablenes
of
euery
couetuous
wreatch
:
to
the
violence
of
euery
extortioner
.
Our
backes
are
charged
with
tribulations
:
and
euery
body
sittes
on
our
toppe
.
Whosoeuer
wil
pretend
any
thing
against
vs
,
hath
easie
audience
:
who
claymeth
any
thing
from
vs
,
it
is
adjudged
his
right
.
Our
inheritaunces
are
giuen
to
straungers
:
our
possessions
are
rent
and
dismembred
.
If
we
demaund
justice
,
it
is
denyed
:
it
is
answered
that
we
be
out
of
the
lawes
protection
.
Well
it
is
,
that
wee
bee
not
out
of
thine
,
O
defendor
of
Iacob
:
O
fortifier
of
orphans
,
and
staffe
of
widowes
.
Shadowe
vs
therefore
vnder
the
winges
of
thy
mercy
:
vntill
the
course
of
iniquity
be
at
an
end
,
and
her
tide
at
the
highest
.
For
our
enemies
haue
assembled
to
pursue
vs
:
that
they
may
rauin
our
goodes
,
and
liue
of
the
spoyle
.
They
fall
vpon
vs
,
as
a
Lyon
awayting
his
pray
:
and
as
a
Leopard
lurking
behinde
a
rocke
.
When
they
deuoure
the
innocent
:
they
thinke
his
God
shall
not
consider
it
.
With
our
bowels
they
glut
themselues
:
forcing
vs
to
yeald
vp
that
,
which
we
tooke
from
no
man
.
Losse
of
our
heritages
,
is
the
price
of
our
piety
:
our
patrimonies
are
taken
from
vs
.
Tabernacles
of
strangers
abound
with
our
goods
:
and
like
houndes
well
fleshed
,
they
followe
eagerly
the
game
.
As
if
this
were
nothing
to
our
deserts
:
our
persons
are
also
sought
to
farther
punishment
.
Pursuiuants
are
cast
off
after
vs
,
as
grayhounds
after
deere
:
or
as
the
goshauke
is
let
fly
at
the
silly
partridge
.
By
vngodly
ribauldes
our
houses
are
ransacked
:
and
that
which
ought
to
be
to
each
man
his
castle
,
is
no
security
.
What
pleaseth
them
,
is
their
booty
:
whatsoeuer
they
lay
hand
vpon
,
is
good
purchase
.
We
are
haled
forth
of
our
dores
:
and
brought
before
the
Magistrate
as
malefactors
.
In
whose
presence
we
are
bayted
at
on
euery
side
:
each
man
by
bitter
taunts
,
either
wreaking
his
spight
,
or
seeking
credit
.
If
any
speake
faire
,
the
poyson
of
adders
is
most
of
all
vnder
his
lippes
:
from
venimous
allurements
deliuer
vs
,
O
Lord
.
Refusing
to
doe
against
our
conscience
:
we
are
tearmed
Traytors
.
Disturbers
of
the
Realme
:
and
obstinate
Rebelles
.
Our
youngers
deride
vs
:
the
vilest
among
all
the
people
laugh
at
vs
.
The
foolishest
of
them
all
,
thinke
them selues
wise
,
beholding
our
case
:
and
condemne
vs
of
folly
.
Persons
vnworthy
to
liue
,
because
of
their
wickednes
,
to
justifie
themselues
:
cry
out
at
vs
,
as
impious
.
The
Iudges
frowne
:
beholding
vs
with
a
terrible
looke
.
The
standers
by
sharpen
their
tongues
against
vs
:
and
gnash
their
teeth
.
Intreating
we
are
sharply
taken
vp
:
speaking
reason
in
milde
sort
,
we
are
answered
with
rebukes
&
curses
.
Clamour
of
the
basest
sort
hastneth
judgment
:
crying
,
Away
with
them
,
away
with
them
.
Much
labour
there
is
to
finde
vs
guilty
of
crimes
:
with
strange
questions
we
are
molested
.
By
oath
wee
are
vrged
to
accuse
our
benefactors
and
brethren
,
yea
our
owne
selues
:
&
are
charged
with
thinges
which
we
knowe
not
.
Aduantage
is
taken
of
whatsoeuer
we
say
false
witnesses
depose
against
vs
.
Like
wilde
Bulles
they
push
at
vs
with
all
their
force
:
and
open
their
mouthes
like
ramping
Lyons
.
Malice
barketh
at
vs
on
all
sides
:
and
Enuie
thrusteth
out
her
sting
.
Howsoeuer
we
answere
,
escape
we
cannot
:
except
by
yealding
to
their
profession
,
we
deny
thy
faith
.
Some
pittie
our
rebuke
and
distresse
:
but
none
stand
by
vs
in
necessity
.
Some
fauour
vs
inwardly
:
but
dare
not
speake
in
our
behalfe
.
Kindred
and
familiars
are
estranged
:
the
nearest
in
friendship
stand
farthest
off
.
Aloofe
they
behold
our
calamities
:
as
those
which
safe
on
the
land
,
see
others
suffer
shipwracke
.
Had
we
stolne
,
ordinary
fauour
might
be
found
:
appeached
of
murder
,
we
might
be
succoured
:
But
now
for
our
conscience
wee
finde
no
mercy
:
neither
can
supplication
finde
grace
.
To
prison
we
are
drawne
:
&
laid
vp
close
.
Rods
are
made
ready
for
vs
:
racks
and
other
engins
of
torture
are
prepared
.
He
that
escapeth
best
,
lieth
long
forgotten
:
enduring
the
designments
of
his
Keepers
fury
.
Thus
are
we
become
like
outcasts
of
this
world
:
like
vile
ragges
,
which
are
throwne
out
of
dores
.
Euery
day
bringeth
his
load
of
affliction
:
no
place
can
recline
our
heades
in
safety
.
Comfort
we
haue
none
but
only
this
:
thou
art
on
high
,
and
in
thy
handes
lieth
the
lotte
of
our
fortune
.
We
are
brought
exceeding
lowe
:
as
lowe
as
wormes
of
the
earth
.
Vpon
which
passengers
treade
:
and
bigger
creatures
make
their
pray
.
Neyther
haue
wee
at
any
time
rest
:
neyther
finde
we
in
any
place
security
.
If
for
a
space
our
Persecutors
relent
:
it
is
to
reenforce
their
cruelty
.
If
a
calme
arise
in
one
place
:
the
sword
rageth
in
many
others
with
double
seuerity
.
If
they
pretend
any
fauourable
remission
:
it
is
only
in
regard
of
farther
policy
.
Who
is
yet
free
:
can
not
warrant
himselfe
any
little
while
from
their
fingers
.
And
who
thinketh
himself
secure
:
is
often
times
in
most
daunger
.
The
day
layeth
vs
open
:
the
night
can
giue
vs
no
assurance
.
At
home
we
are
caught
by
searches
:
in
the
wayes
we
are
apprehended
by
watches
.
False
brethren
are
mingled
among
vs
:
and
by
fayned
friendes
we
are
oft
betrayed
.
No
wit
is
equall
to
the
malice
of
our
foes
:
hardly
can
any
fore-sight
frustrate
their
diligence
.
No
not
their
sinfull
subtilty
,
who
seldome
seeke
thy
gratious
Sacramentes
:
more
trusting
their
owne
policy
,
then
thy
diuine
prouidence
.
In
this
wise
while
prisons
are
filled
with
thy
seruants
:
or
that
otherwise
they
are
had
in
pursuit
.
Families
runne
to
ruine
:
and
children
want
necessary
education
.
Of
this
fathers
feele
in
their
harts
the
griefe
:
and
mothers
doe
often
complayne
.
But
better
is
thy
grace
then
great
wealth
:
and
a
cleane
soule
then
exquisite
learning
.
To
this
and
all
other
tribulations
:
giue
an
end
,
O
blessed
Father
of
heauen
.
Ioyfully
that
we
may
serue
thee
:
in
holynesse
,
and
piety
;
in
peace
,
and
security
.
The
second
Lamentation
.
WHY
number
we
our
temporall
detriments
,
O
most
bounfull
Lord
:
which
are
the
least
part
of
our
present
calamity
:
And
lament
not
rather
our
spirituall
losses
:
the
diminishing
of
thy
glory
?
Not
our
priuate
damages
:
not
our
earthly
discommodities
,
so
much
vexe
and
torment
vs
.
But
the
zeale
of
thy
faith
consumeth
vs
:
thy
dishonour
is
the
great
corasiue
:
Reproches
against
thy
Religion
wee
repute
as
our
owne
:
daylie
they
light
vpon
vs
as
a
tempest
of
stones
.
We
pine
away
to
see
thy
lawe
forgotten
:
and
die
for
griefe
that
thy
ordinances
are
despised
.
Mourning
to
consider
the
kingdome
of
darknesse
so
enlarged
:
and
impiety
so
deepely
rooted
.
In
our
captiuity
we
weep
amaine
:
calling
to
minde
the
calamity
of
thy
Church
.
For
neither
can
we
sing
thy
notes
:
hauing
lost
our
Temple
;
Nor
with
worthy
magnificence
celebrate
thy
Mysteries
:
being
so
impouerished
and
spoyled
;
Nor
haue
any
harty
gladnesse
:
being
abridged
of
thy
most
honourable
Seruice
.
Because
of
this
our
VIRGINE
mourne
:
our
young-men
lament
,
our
aged
wring
their
handes
.
Our
Priests
girt
with
haire
,
offer
Sacrifice
:
as
in
the
dayes
of
Iudith
.
For
why
,
our
lightes
are
fewe
in
number
:
our
solemne
Seruice
is
impared
.
Organs
&
musicke
are
laid
aside
:
the
melody
of
Sion
is
out
of
vse
.
Our
glory
is
in
captiuity
:
our
ornaments
are
in
the
enemies
hand
.
Susteinance
of
our
soules
is
barred
:
from
the
conduits
of
saluation
we
are
excluded
.
Pretious
and
rare
in
these
dayes
is
thy
worde
:
thy
holies
are
seldome
seene
.
No
otherwise
liue
thy
Priests
with
the
rest
of
thy
seruants
:
then
as
in
the
time
of
Elias
,
when
they
were
hidden
in
caues
.
They
are
put
to
silence
,
who
would
raise
vp
Iacob
to
remorse
:
and
conuert
Israell
from
her
Apostasie
.
Few
are
left
to
instruct
people
in
the
way
of
justice
:
and
teach
wreatches
to
shunne
sinne
.
With
grones
,
people
seeke
the
supersubstantiall
foode
.
Neither
without
danger
of
death
:
search
they
spirituall
refection
.
The
pathes
are
beset
with
enuious
eyes
:
in
passage
to
thy
holy
rites
,
our
steps
are
watched
.
Little
ones
craue
the
bread
which
came
from
heauen
:
and
there
is
none
to
giue
it
them
.
They
which
had
sometime
the
celestiall
Manna
at
wil
:
die
in
the
streets
for
hunger
.
He
which
feedeth
thereon
,
liueth
for
euer
;
and
hee
which
doth
not
,
can
haue
in
him
no
life
:
yet
is
it
taken
from
vs
.
Abolished
are
Confirmation
,
and
holy
Chrisme
:
principall
armour
vnto
Christian
constancie
.
The
reuerent
rites
of
Baptisme
:
are
quite
rejected
as
vnprofitable
.
The
Diuell
rejoyceth
that
hee
is
not
adjured
:
but
may
dwell
in
infants
from
their
first
natiuity
.
Matrimony
is
concluded
to
be
a
prophane
bargaine
:
neither
blessing
nor
grace
belonging
thereunto
.
Orders
are
none
at
all
:
where
thy
Priestes
sate
enstalled
,
raigne
those
whose
persons
are
not
sacred
.
Blinde
guides
,
vnfaithfull
watchmen
,
dogges
dumbe
to
the
theefe
,
&
barking
at
the
houshold
.
Hirelinges
they
peele
the
woole
:
suffering
the
sheepe
to
perish
.
They
runne
,
and
were
not
sent
:
take
charge
of
soules
,
without
vocation
.
In
at
the
windowe
they
came
,
and
not
at
the
dore
:
they
cry
,
The
Lord
,
the
Lord
,
&
he
spake
not
vnto
them
.
Worne
out
in
prison
are
al
thy
true
Bishops
:
no
one
is
aliue
to
sustayne
thy
flocke
.
Prophecies
,
miracles
,
and
visions
are
taken
away
:
rarely
reuealest
thou
the
secrets
of
thy
Kingdome
.
No
publike
Altar
,
incense
,
or
oblation
:
either
resembled
or
verified
is
the
time
of
Antichrist
.
Ah
,
howe
are
golden
times
turned
to
drosse
:
our
plate
to
pewter
?
To
adore
thee
in
spirit
and
truth
is
heynous
:
to
be
present
at
thy
Altar
is
a
grieuous
penalty
.
To
vnburden
conscience
at
feete
of
a
spiritual
father
:
is
a
matter
of
life
.
At
the
houre
of
death
it selfe
,
absolution
is
denied
:
the
extreamity
auaileth
not
to
pardon
.
The
holy
Vnction
ordayned
for
our
better
passage
:
is
not
permitted
.
So
that
without
just
preparation
:
wee
must
enter
combate
with
our
deadly
enemy
.
Bookes
for
edification
and
prayer
are
committed
to
the
flame
:
whatsoeuer
serueth
vs
to
deuotion
,
is
destroyed
.
If
they
finde
thy
holy
Mysteries
,
they
tread
them
vnder
feete
:
the
furniture
of
thy
glory
is
their
pray
.
Ornaments
and
vesselles
consecrated
to
thy
seruice
,
are
prophaned
to
priuate
vses
:
as
in
the
captiuity
of
Babylon
.
At
monuments
of
thy
Sonnes
passion
,
or
representation
of
thy
Saints
:
they
vpbraid
vs
with
Gods
,
and
Idolatry
.
Defacing
thy
memories
,
they
pretend
thy
honour
:
and
blaspheming
thy
friends
,
they
alleadge
thine
owne
Commaundement
.
Lighting
vpon
reliques
,
they
reuile
them
:
if
they
finde
the
memoriall
of
thy
death
about
vs
,
they
pronounce
vs
Traytors
.
If
they
catch
a
Priest
,
a
hundred
D●●egs
are
at
hand
:
which
dare
lay
violent
hand
vpon
thine
anointed
.
Who
concealeth
the
guide
of
his
soule
,
is
not
Caesars
friend
:
Abdias
is
not
innocent
.
If
any
deuout
Sunamite
harbour
Elias
:
her
offence
is
vnpardonable
.
Who
reuerenceth
the
highest
Bishop
:
is
a
supposed
enemy
.
Prohibited
it
is
to
ascend
vnto
thy
Holy
hill
:
to
receiue
any
instructions
from
Sion
:
To
seeke
exposition
of
the
lawe
at
Peters
chaire
:
and
direction
from
the
piller
of
truth
.
Neither
are
we
permitted
to
enter
into
the
Arke
,
out
of
which
is
no
saluation
:
neither
will
they
which
forbidde
vs
,
enter
themselues
.
They
presse
vs
continually
to
run
with
them
towardes
hell
:
and
to
reuerence
in
shewe
,
that
which
we
detest
in
hart
.
If
they
infatuate
any
man
by
faire
wordes
,
or
threats
:
they
tread
him
vnder
foote
,
as
salt
which
hath
lost
the
sauour
.
They
triumph
as
of
a
conquest
:
and
hang
vp
flags
of
victory
;
Glorying
to
finde
a
Catholike
as
cold
as
themselues
:
and
which
will
cast
behind
him
,
the
care
of
his
soule
.
Not
for
exercise
of
our
faith
only
are
we
thus
afflicted
:
but
for
our
conuersation
also
we
are
detested
.
Vertue
is
accounted
misdemeanour
:
all
thinges
are
lawfull
,
except
to
liue
well
.
Who
waxeth
sober
and
graue
:
suspected
is
he
,
to
intend
somewhat
.
He
that
in
quaffing
and
gluttony
is
not
forward
:
is
hated
as
a
backward
person
.
Giue
any
man
great
almes
,
deemed
he
is
a
corrupter
of
people
:
a
solliciter
of
mens
harts
to
his
Religion
.
Our
thoughts
are
examined
:
what
greater
mischiefe
could
mans
wit
inuent
against
vs
.
As
if
it
were
a
small
matter
:
to
renounce
in
words
the
supreame
Pastor
An
oath
is
administred
of
vnbeliefe
:
and
abjuring
in
conscience
his
authority
.
In
such
sort
are
our
hartes
sifted
:
yet
are
we
scorned
with
freedome
of
faith
,
and
that
liberty
of
conscience
is
not
impeached
.
Vrged
we
are
on
al-sides
:
and
enclosed
betweene
streightes
,
stand
at
the
mercy
of
our
armed
enemy
.
Open
thy
armes
,
O
God
of
our
sanctification
:
and
receiue
vs
into
thy
bosome
.
Whither
else
to
flie
we
haue
not
:
neyther
art
thou
farre
from
them
,
which
call
vpon
thee
.
The
third
Lamentation
.
END
our
misery
(
O
Father
of
pupilles
)
or
take
vs
vnto
thee
,
least
malice
of
the
time
subuert
vs
.
Better
it
is
to
die
:
then
to
see
the
enormity
,
and
desolation
of
our
Country
.
In
euery
corner
wee
heare
thy
name
blasphemed
:
constrayned
to
lay
our
hand
vpon
our
mouthes
.
Reprehension
is
not
endured
:
thy
Angels
are
forbidden
to
denounce
the
truth
.
Commandement
is
giuen
to
those
which
preach
,
to
speake
plausible
things
:
and
conformable
to
the
time
.
The
sinner
sinneth
and
is
commended
:
wicked
men
are
magnified
in
their
doinges
.
Godlinesse
is
quite
gone
:
piety
hath
taken
her
leaue
.
Banished
are
truth
and
vertue
:
into
forraigne
landes
.
All
mouthes
are
full
of
leasinges
:
guilefull
lippes
yealding
the
abundance
of
their
double
hartes
.
Euery
head
searcheth
a
pillowe
to
his
iniquity
:
and
euery
elbowe
a
cushion
of
ease
;
That
without
al
remorse
they
may
swallowe
sinne
as
dainties
:
and
wallowe
in
bloud
as
in
a
pleasant
bath
.
They
winke
,
least
they
should
see
:
and
will
needes
beleeue
what
sensuality
suggesteth
.
Inspirations
are
rejected
as
temptations
:
perswaders
to
perfect
Christianity
,
are
condemned
for
seducers
.
Howe
long
wilt
thou
endure
thy
faith
to
be
thus
neglected
:
and
thy
holies
to
be
prophaned
?
Thy
Saints
to
be
persecuted
:
thy
truth
to
be
troden
vnder
foote
?
No
persecution
like
vnto
our
oppression
:
no
griefe
comparable
vnto
our
sorrowes
.
From
the
East
to
the
West
,
ouer
all
the
face
of
this
earthly
globe
:
no
where
is
the
Catholike
faith
so
pursued
.
Amongst
the
Turks
&
Saracens
,
is
greater
liberty
of
Religion
:
the
Moores
and
Infidels
restrayne
not
Christian
rites
,
with
such
seuerity
.
Since
we
deserue
not
release
of
affliction
:
yet
for
thy
owne
glory
,
let
thy
name
no
longer
be
prophaned
.
See
howe
thy
enemies
haue
stroken
out
alarme
:
and
thy
professed
foes
,
lifted
vp
their
hornes
.
Saying
openly
,
roote
we
out
the
nation
of
the
faithfull
:
that
the
name
Catholike
may
be
no
more
heard
of
.
They
haue
inuaded
thine
inheritance
:
as
it
were
with
fire
&
sword
.
Polluted
thy
Tabernacle
with
their
abhominations
:
contaminated
thy
sanctuary
.
Thy
Churches
are
pulled
downe
:
with
the
ruines
whereof
are
built
vnhappy
pallaces
of
pride
.
Those
which
stand
,
either
serue
for
euery
vile
office
:
or
are
worse
abused
to
the
table
,
cup
,
and
seruice
of
Diuels
.
Such
possesse
the
temple
as
should
be
scourged
forth
:
and
whome
thou
forbadest
to
set
foot
within
thy
gates
.
Men
haue
there
placed
their
owne
signes
,
in
steede
of
thine
:
and
for
thy
Sacraments
,
their
owne
inuentions
.
Translating
thy
glory
to
their
superstition
:
thy
solemnities
&
feasts
to
the
Idoll
of
their
owne
imagination
.
Houses
of
prayer
are
dennes
of
theeues
:
places
sanctified
are
become
abhominable
.
From
whence
the
sweetincense
of
deuotion
ascended
to
heauen
:
ariseth
now
the
stench
of
the
bottomles
pit
.
Where
Angels
sung
&
frequented
:
the
Diuels
nowe
daunce
&
triumph
.
For
a
newe
faith
is
set
vp
against
the
auncient
beliefe
:
a
newe
table
and
seruice
,
in
defiance
of
thy
holy
Altar
and
Sacrifice
.
Thy
high
steward
is
quite
rejected
:
they
say
,
we
will
not
heare
his
voice
.
If
he
call
vs
home
we
will
not
returne
:
if
he
commaund
vs
,
we
will
runne
farther
off
.
Let
vs
breake
the
bands
of
his
law
:
and
cast
off
his
yoke
from
our
necke
.
The
bands
,
O
Lord
,
of
thy
religion
they
haue
cast
of
,
which
were
so
pleasant
:
&
thy
yoke
which
was
so
sweet
.
They
haue
left
thee
,
the
fountaine
of
life
:
and
digged
to
themselues
pits
,
which
beare
no
water
.
They
haue
setled
their
malice
against
thee
:
and
contriue
that
,
which
they
shall
neuer
accomplish
.
The
name
yet
of
heresie
they
reject
from
their
sect
:
and
the
penalties
of
it
,
they
returne
vpon
vs
.
Lawes
of
the
first
Christian
Princes
,
they
vsurpe
and
abuse
against
the
Church
:
ordayned
by
them
for
her
defence
.
Their
Superintendents
cite
vs
,
concerning
our
faith
:
as
if
they
held
the
chaire
,
which
can
not
erre
.
They
excommunicate
vs
from
their
congregation
:
and
banne
vs
in
their
malignant
Synagogue
.
Whither
to
goe
is
to
bee
accursed
indeede
:
and
worse
then
to
enter
into
a
flaming
fornace
.
As
fast
as
they
curse
,
thou
wilt
blesse
:
and
our
reward
shall
redound
into
our
bosome
.
When
they
are
disposed
,
our
life
is
their
pastime
:
in
testimony
of
thy
truth
,
we
are
daylie
slaine
.
The
Magistrate
rageth
on
his
bench
:
the
Ministers
from
their
pulpits
clappe
their
hands
.
The
people
mutter
against
vs
:
&
Baals
false
Prophets
as
fire-brandes
of
mischiefe
,
sound
to
the
slaughter
.
For
our
faith
,
we
are
as
sheepe
ready
for
the
butchery
:
streetes
are
dyed
with
martyrdomes
of
thy
Saints
.
Their
flesh
is
giuen
for
food
to
the
fowles
of
the
ayre
:
their
bloud
batneth
the
earth
,
being
shed
like
water
.
Ripped
vp
they
are
aliue
:
which
to
sheepe
&
oxen
men
abhor
to
doe
.
With
bloudy
gripe
,
are
their
trembling
and
breathing
bowels
drawne
forth
:
In
most
execrable
sort
cast
into
the
fire
:
euen
before
their
face
.
Their
quarters
,
least
thou
shouldest
not
see
it
playne
enough
,
deforme
the
gates
of
euery
Citie
:
and
vpbraide
thy
patience
.
Their
heades
are
raysed
on
high
:
to
the
terrour
of
the
simple
.
Serued
thus
are
thy
Priests
,
whom
thou
hast
giuen
charge
of
:
not
to
be
once
injuriously
touched
.
The
earth
couereth
not
the
bloud
that
is
shedde
:
neither
stoppeth
the
ayre
the
cry
thereof
.
All
the
riuers
of
the
valleys
,
nor
al
the
showres
of
heauen
:
are
able
to
wash
away
the
stayne
and
shame
.
No
sope
,
nor
scowring
can
clense
the
crime
:
no
darknesse
,
nor
death
it
selfe
can
hide
it
.
No
continuance
of
time
,
nor
the
age
of
the
world
:
shall
make
it
forgotten
.
Other
nations
heare
of
it
,
&
hardly
beleeue
it
:
because
such
cruelty
hath
scarse
seemed
possible
.
Posterity
shall
read
of
it
and
wonder
:
all
generations
to
come
shall
detest
the
fact
.
Our
Persecutors
owne
issue
shall
blush
:
to
heare
the
outragious
actes
of
their
auncestors
.
Barbarous
death
of
innocentes
is
much
:
yet
to
misreporte
the
cause
augmenteth
the
despite
.
Refusall
to
commit
an
act
against
conscience
,
call
they
rebellion
:
not
to
deny
the
Catholike
faith
,
they
tearme
felony
and
treason
.
Traytors
indeed
,
such
as
were
thy
chosen
Apostles
:
when
forbidden
to
preach
the
truth
.
Such
as
the
Primitiue
Christians
:
when
by
Heathen
statutes
impugned
was
Religion
.
Manifest
is
our
guilt
,
and
great
is
our
offence
:
when
by
going
to
Church
all
is
pardoned
.
All
this
we
endure
for
thy
sake
,
(
O
thou
fountayne
of
grace
)
not
reuolting
from
thy
beliefe
.
We
haue
not
forsaken
thee
:
least
we
should
be
forsaken
of
thee
,
at
the
last
howre
.
Not
denied
thee
before
men
:
least
we
should
be
denied
of
thee
,
before
thine
Angels
.
Turne
therefore
vnto
vs
thy
gratious
countenance
:
wherewith
thou
cheerest
the
world
.
Giue
eare
to
our
prayers
:
consider
of
our
complaint
.
Heare
the
voyce
of
thy
Martirs
bloud
:
or
at
least
wise
,
heare
their
supplication
and
intercession
.
Whome
spoyled
of
their
garment
of
flesh
:
thou
hast
clad
with
robes
of
immortality
.
The
fourth
Lamentation
.
THE
garland
of
glory
is
fallen
from
our
head
:
the
beauty
of
thy
City
is
defaced
.
O
God
,
the
beholder
of
our
combatte
:
be
mindfull
of
our
abasement
,
vnder
the
heauy
hand
of
those
which
hate
vs
.
We
hope
in
thee
:
because
we
haue
knowne
thee
,
&
professed
thy
name
.
Thou
exaltest
the
humble
:
and
regardest
a
contrite
hart
.
Streatch
out
thy
hand
to
our
aide
:
for
thou
art
the
buckler
and
defence
of
Israell
.
Father
of
orphans
,
Husband
of
widowes
:
piller
of
the
poore
.
Teach
men
,
not
to
lift
vp
themselues
vpon
earth
against
thee
:
and
thy
Saints
.
Let
not
the
memory
of
thy
afflicted
be
laid
aside
:
forget
not
his
patience
for
euer
.
Cheere
vp
his
just
desire
:
ease
the
mourning
of
his
hart
.
Chastise
vs
no
longer
in
thy
rage
:
nor
correct
vs
with
indignation
.
Heale
vs
for
we
are
bruised
:
haue
mercy
vpon
vs
,
for
we
are
brought
exceeding
lowe
.
In
silence
we
expect
thy
long-desired
consolation
.
True
it
is
that
we
deserue
more
of
thy
rodde
,
then
we
feele
:
and
before
thine
anger
,
we
sinned
.
If
we
sinne
,
are
our
foes
righteous
?
if
Iacob
offend
,
is
Esau
innocent
?
If
Hierusalem
please
thee
not
:
shall
Babilon
delight
thee
?
Wilt
thou
euermore
be
angry
,
O
Supreame
Iudge
?
or
canst
thou
forget
mercy
?
Wilt
thou
serue
this
Realme
:
as
thou
hast
serued
Afrike
and
Syria
?
To
let
misbeliefe
prepare
the
way
to
Infidelity
:
suffering
to
enter
an
eternall
Apostasie
?
Let
not
the
name
of
thy
Christ
&
Church
be
exiled
:
let
not
a
faithlesse
generation
roote
vs
out
.
Not
so
,
O
Lord
,
for
thy
tender
kindnesse
and
mercy
:
pull
vs
violently
out
of
cruell
handes
.
Rouse
vp
thy selfe
like
a
Giant
:
reuenge
the
bloud
of
thy
Saints
.
Let
not
the
scourge
of
the
vngodly
:
be
alwayes
vpon
the
backs
of
the
just
:
Least
they
presume
,
saying
,
thou
maintaynest
their
cause
:
and
that
saluation
is
on
their
side
.
Chastise
vs
with
thine
owne
rod
as
children
:
and
not
with
the
rodde
of
the
vncircumcised
.
Pull
the
speare
out
of
the
enemies
rest
:
knappe
his
launce
in
sunder
,
and
breake
his
sword
.
Thou
dwellest
still
where
thou
didst
:
thou
art
the
same
God
and
glory
of
Israell
.
To
thee
our
forefathers
called
oppressed
by
Heathen
:
and
thou
redeemedst
them
.
To
thee
Catholikes
made
their
moane
,
vnder
the
yoke
of
Arrian
heretikes
:
and
thou
didst
redresse
their
bondage
.
So
vtterly
annihilating
the
aduerse
sect
:
that
scant
their
name
remayned
vpon
earth
.
Euils
innumerable
compasse
vs
about
:
howe
long
wilt
thou
turne
away
thy
face
?
Not
for
euer
,
O
Lord
:
not
for
euer
,
we
beseech
thee
.
Shall
so
many
ignorants
,
yet
zealous
:
neuer
haue
thy
light
reuealed
?
So
many
which
for
want
of
instruction
perish
:
shall
they
neuer
haue
true
teachers
?
Because
diuers
which
liued
in
the
flourish
of
thy
Church
,
haue
set
it
at
naught
:
shall
those
neuer
see
it
,
who
if
they
sawe
it
would
neuer
forsake
it
?
Because
many
by
yealding
deserue
such
a
yoke
:
shall
they
which
are
constant
be
alwaies
vnder
it
?
Shall
the
few
sparkles
which
thou
hast
left
in
the
lande
:
be
extinguished
for
lacke
of
cherishing
?
What
if
the
fathers
did
eate
a
soure
grape
?
shall
the
teeth
of
their
children
for
euer
be
on
edge
?
The
wicked
wil
not
worship
thee
aright
:
shall
they
therefore
be
alwayes
vexed
,
which
worship
thee
in
spirit
and
truth
?
If
thou
haue
decreed
(
O
wisdome
incomprehensible
)
concerning
that
generation
,
which
enjoyed
the
highest
glory
of
thy
sanctuary
;
And
forsaking
their
Pastors
,
stood
not
stedfastly
for
their
Religion
:
in
the
time
of
contradiction
;
That
they
shal
pine
away
by
fourty
yeares
trauaile
in
the
desert
:
&
neuer
enter
into
the
land
of
promise
:
Nor
see
the
glory
of
thy
second
Temple
:
in
all
Royall
magnificence
:
If
this
be
thy
holy
pleasure
:
&
the
secret
counsaile
of
thy
long
delayes
:
Or
if
the
number
of
thy
designed
Martirs
be
not
yet
accomplished
:
to
whome
by
these
times
,
thou
furnishest
a
Crowne
:
Or
if
thou
wilt
needes
haue
the
secrets
of
all
harts
to
be
opened
:
and
rippe
vp
all
dissemblers
,
by
long
probation
:
That
the
whole
world
world
may
behold
,
who
serued
thee
from
their
hart
:
and
who
followe
thee
with
corrupt
intention
:
Or
whatsoeuer
else
the
depth
of
thy
designments
intendeth
:
by
this
so
long
persecution
:
Yet
hasten
the
times
for
thy
deare
mercy
sake
:
O
liuing
Lord
.
Calme
the
tempest
,
alay
the
raging
wanes
.
Saue
vs
who
are
daungerously
tossed
:
vnite
vs
who
are
dispersed
,
and
commaunded
a-sunder
.
That
as
one
in
hart
,
so
with
one
voice
in
free
assemblies
we
may
laude
thy
holy
name
:
&
extoll
thy
praises
all
the
day
long
.
Giue
vs
in
the
meane
space
patience
in
our
afflictions
:
and
ghostly
profit
by
these
our
temptations
.
Let
them
neither
winne
vs
by
wordes
,
nor
weary
vs
by
cruell
deedes
:
O
thou
which
art
the
saluation
of
thy
people
.
Aide
vs
,
O
Sauiour
:
glorifie
thy selfe
in
our
deliuerance
.
Thou
art
the
God
of
our
forefathers
:
thee
only
we
will
magnifie
.
Thou
art
a
zealous
God
:
we
will
not
partake
in
thy
dishonour
.
Prepare
the
feete
of
thy
forerunners
:
let
vs
heare
the
noise
of
their
steps
approching
.
Reueale
the
treasures
of
thy
kingdome
:
which
haue
beene
so
long
suppressed
.
Graunt
vs
to
reape
at
length
with
joy
:
who
haue
a
great
space
,
sowed
in
teares
.
In
expectation
whereof
our
life
vanisheth
in
griefe
:
our
yeares
consume
in
sobs
;
While
we
powre
forth
our
soules
before
thee
:
crauing
at
thy
handes
saluation
.
Arise
,
O
Lord
,
visit
thy
flocke
:
raise
vp
the
rased
walles
of
Hierusalem
.
Neglect
not
the
wasting
of
thy
heritage
.
Renewe
thy
truth
,
which
hath
beene
so
long
a
time
without
fruit
:
let
faith
flourish
againe
like
an
oliue
.
Then
shall
all
nations
feare
thy
name
:
the
Kings
of
the
earth
shall
haue
thy
mercy
in
admiration
.
We
shall
all
with
one
harmony
sing
glory
in
thy
Temple
:
and
sanctifie
thy
Altars
with
Sacrifice
.
All
generations
to
come
,
shall
prayse
thee
:
and
make
honourable
mention
of
thy
great
goodnesse
.
Thy
Angels
of
heauen
shall
magnifie
thee
:
the
Saints
and
blessed
Spirits
shall
fall
at
thy
feete
,
and
giue
thankes
.
Euery
soule
pray
that
this
may
soone
come
to
passe
:
and
euery
tongue
say
Amen
.
Come
,
O
sweete
IESV
,
come
.
FINIS
