haue done The wonders great which thou O lord hast done in Egipt land Our fathers though they saw them al yet did not vnderstand Nor they thy mercies multitude did kepe in thankfull mind But at the sea yea the red sea rebelled most vnkind Neuertheles he saued them for honor of hys name That he might make his power knowne and spred abrode with fame The red sea he did then rebuke and forthwith it was dryed And as in wildernes so through the depe he did them guide He saued them from the cruel hand of their despitefull soo And from the enmies hand he did deliuer them also The second parte The waters their oppressors whelmd not one was left alyue Then they beleued his wordes praise in song they did him geue But by and by vnthankefully his workes they cleane forgat And for his counsell and his will they did neglect to wayte But lusted in the wildernes with fond and gredy lust And in the desert tempted God the stay of all theyr trust And then theyr wanton mindes desire he suffred them to haue but wasting leannes ther withall into their soule he gaue Then when they lodged in the tentes at Moses they did grutch Aaron the holy of the Lorde so did they enuie muche Therfore the earth did open wide and Dathan did deuoure And all Abrams companye did couer in that houre In their assemblie kindled was the whote consuming fyre And wasting flame did then burne vp the wicked in his ire Upon the hill of Horeb they an idole calf did frame And there the molten image they did worship of the same Into the likenes of a calfe that fedeth on the grasse Thus they their glory turnd and all their honor did deface And God their only sauiour vnkindly they forgot Which many great and mighty things in Egip land hadt wrought The third parte And in the land of Ham for them most wondrous works had done And by the red sea dredfull things performed long agone Therfore for their so shewing them forgetfull and vnkind To bring destruction on them all he purposde in his minde Had not his chosen Moses stoode before them in the breake To turne his wrath lest he on them with slaughter should him wreke They did despise the pleasant land that he beheght to geue Yea and the workes that he had spoke they did no whit beleue But in their tents with grudging hart they wickedly repined Nor to the voyce of God the Lorde they gaue a harkning mynde Therfore against them lifted he his strong reuenging hand Them to destroy in wildernes ere they should see the land And to destroy theyr sede among the nations with his rod And through the contrees of the world to scatter them abrode To Baal Peor then they did adioyne themselues also And eate the offringes of the dead so they forsoke him tho Thus with theyr owne inuentions his wrath they did prouoke And in his so inkindled wrath the plage vpon them broke But Phineas stoode vp with zeale the sinners vile to stay And iudgement he did execute and then the plage did stay The. iiii parte It was imputed vnto him for righteousnes that day And from thenceforth so compted is from race to race foraye At waters eke of Meribah they did him angry make Yea so far fourth that Moses was then punisht for theyr sake Because they vext his sprite so sore that in impatient heate His lippes spake vnaduisedly his feruor was so greate Nor as the Lorde commaunded them they slew the people thoe But were among the heathen mixt and learnde their workes also And did their idoles serue whiche were their ruine and decay To feends their sonnes daughters they did offer vp and slay yea with vnkindly murdring knife the giltles bloud they spilt yea theyr owne sons daughters bloud without all cause of gilt Whom they to Canaan idoles then offerd with wicked hand And so with blood of innocents defyled was the land Thus wer they stayned with the works of their owne filthy way And with their owne inuentions a whoring did they stray Therfore against his people was the Lordes wrath kind led sore And euen his owne in heritance therfore he did abhorre Into the handes of heathen men he gaue them for a prey And made theyr foes the lords whō they were forced to obey The v parte Yea and their hatefull enemies opprest them in the land And they were humbly made to stoope as subiectes to theyr hand Full oftentimes from thrall had he deliuerd them before But with their counsels they to wrath prouoked him euermore Therfore they by their wickednes were brought
