guiltie of such evils For they that worship such Gods worship devils No less do they that practise forcerie And fortune-telling-vain-Astrologie Magicians witches charmers Conjurers For these are very gross Idolaters All that ascribe God's workes to such as these As blastings tempests plagues and sicknesses Or to blind fortune blindly reckon things To cursed speakings charms and conjurings Or seek to such for succour or supply Or for inquirie or recovery To know their fortune or to find out thievs Or get relief when pain or sickness griev's Whether for man or beast for flock or fold In danger or disttess of young or old To cure diseas by paper spell or charm To drive out devils or defend from harm To scape from Gunshot or from shore to shore To buy a wind to waft them swiftly o're This they call going to wise-men forsooth But is a going to the devil in truth They greatly derogate from God most high And perpetrate most foul idolatry Yet Satan work 's but while he seem's to raign Wee

world may shine With glittering beams of graces most divine That Saints be kept Sathan's kingdom quel'd Fals doctrines errors Antichrists expel'd The Gospel spread and prosper'd every where And Christians labouring each man in his sphere For Jew and Gentiles call and confirmation Our happy end and final full salvation That wee with wisdom may be all inspir'd To know God's will in what hee hath requir'd Our backword natures that are dark and dull Inflam'd with zeal to do it to the full And what hee pleaseth of himself to do Wee may contentedly submit unto That wee depending on God's

affliction fall That wee confessing our vile sinfull nature Acts and neglects against our great creätor Not having ought to pay or ought that 's good But of his gift may flee to Christ his blood For
