sang Praises to the Lord And for a while believ'd his word They soon what he had done forgat And would not for his counsel wait But tho' from Heav'n with Bread supply'd Tempting God's pow'r for flesh they cry'd They surfeit or the Quails he sent Which prove their plague not nourishment ' Gainst Moses then they mutiny And question his Authority Both him and A'ron whom God chose As proud Usurpers they oppose The Earth did under Dathan cleave And with an open mouth receive Abiram ' s Troop alive they fall And in one Grave are buried all Lightning from Heav'n the other Crew Invaders of the Priesthood slew A Calf in Horeb too they made And worship to an Image paid God's Glory that appear'd so bright And wrought such wonders now they flight An Image better pleasing was Of a dull Ox that eateth grass How kind a Saviour God had been The wond'rous works in Egypt seen The Sea that drowned Phar'oh's Host All these are now forgot and lost God was provok'd to such an height He threatned to destroy them quite When Moses in the breach did stand And stay'd the vengeance of his hand Part III. The promis'd Land they set at nought Tho' to the Borders of it brought They th' ill report some Spies had made More credit than what God had said They murmur'd when they should obey And when he said Go up they 'd stay Then solemnly the Lord did swear These Rebels never should come there Nor the despised Land possess But perish in the Wilderness And some by th' Heathens overthrown Be slain or scattered up and down B'al-Peor ' s service they embrace Moab ' s vile god and their disgrace With them on Sacrifices fed That had been off'red to the dead God was so angry at this sin A grievous plague at once broke in When Phineas with zeal possess'd Slew a bold sinner and it ceast This Fact which rash and hasty seem'd Just and praise-worthy God esteem'd And it obtain'd this Act of Grace T' entail the Priesthood on his Race At Meribah God's wrath they move Where they for Drink with Moses strove It went ill with him for their sake Who things unfit provoked spake When they came in they did not root The Nations out tho' charg'd to do 't Were mix'd and dealings with them had And in their manners were as bad Part IV. They learnt what they should ever rue To serve their gods and left the true T'infernal ghosts they sacrifice Their children with unpitying eyes The blood of Innocents thus stain Did all the Land of Can'an stain Themselves too they with whoredoms vile And other beastly lusts defile Then God was with his people wroth Whom once he lov'd he now does loath The Heathens yoke again they bear By Foes oppress'd whose Slaves they were Oft did he save them in distress Yet they provok'd him still no less Their old Idolatries renew'd Which brought them low by foes subdu'd Yet when their mournful Cries he heard He did their Miseries regard His Covenant he call'd to mind Left off to punish and was kind Ev'n those whose hatred oft they prov'd He to take pity on them mov'd And those by whom they conquer'd were Their extirpation did forbear Now Lord let our salvation come And bring thy scattered people home That praising thee we ever may With greatest joy and triumph say Blessing to Isr'el's God and King And everlasting Praises sing And may his Saints with one accord All say Amen Praise ye the Lord. PSALM CVII As the 100 Psalm LET all give thanks to God above So full of kindness and of love Whose Mercy ages past have known And those that are to come shall crown May 't ever be by them confess'd Whom he redeem'd when sore oppress'd And made the scattered people come From all the Lands to their own home They pass'd thro' Deserts where no way They found nor City where to stay No food to ease their hunger's rage Nor water-springs their thirs t' asswage In their distress to God they cry'd Who prov'd their Saviour and their Guide He the right Path where they should go And place where they should dwell did show Let all Men praise God's goodness then His wonders to the Sons of Men Whose bounty longing Souls supplies Their craving hunger satisfies Part II. Those who are in dark prisons laid So nigh to death they 're in its shade On whom the sorrows that they bear Sit heavier than the chains they wear These having proudly God withstood Contemn'd his Counsels for their good He then resolv'd with pain and smart To quell the stoutness of their heart Before his stroaks they could not stand Nothing could raise them but his hand Then to the Lord they 're forc'd to fly To importune his Clemency Who did regard their low address And sav'd them out of their distress He chang'd their gloomy state to light And brake their Bands in sunder quite 15 Let all men praise God's goodness then His wonders to the Sons of men His strength that all things do's surpass Brake Bars of Ir'n and Gates of Brass Part III. Fools to lewd courses wholly bent Prepare for their own punishment Sickness and loathsome maladies From Luxury and Lust arise The Glutton's appetite o'erthrown His tastful meats will not go down Nature with heavy loads opprest Beckons to Death to be releas'd Then do these frighted Sinners fly To God for help whose earnest cry Mov'd a regard to their address Heaven sav'd them out of this distress No need of Med'cines for their cure Their vertue 's not so quick nor sure Death's sentence onely he repeal'd He sent his word and they were heal'd Let all men praise his Goodness then His wonders to the Sons of men And by their grateful Sacrifice Declare his works and their own joys Part IV. They whom the Ships on th' Ocean bear Do see God's works and wonders there For at his word fierce Tempests rise And lift its Waves unto the Skies One while they mount to Heav'n alost They sink into the Depths as oft The Passengers strange terrours feel Like Drunkards to and fro they reel Lost to all hope to God they cry For help in their extremity He lends an Ear to their address And brings them out of this distress For at his beck the storms asswage The furious waves depose their rage They welcome now the calm and see The Haven where they wish'd to be Let all men praise God's goodness then His wonders to the Sons of men Nor onely private Off'rings bring But in the Church his Glories sing Part V. When God's provok'd his pow'rful hand Turns Rivers to a Desart land Their fruitfulness to barren grounds When wickedness therein abounds Dry grounds by show'rs sent from above And flowing Springs fair Pastures prove Thither the poor for dwellings flow Which after to a City grow They sow the Fields and Vineyards plant Whose Fruits supply their growing want Their Race springs fast from fruitful stocks Their
