frute of all theyr strength and might With gold and siluer he them brought from Egipt land to passe And in the number of their tribes no feble one there was Egipt was glad and ioyfull then when they did thense depart For terrour and the feare of them was fallen vpon theyr hart To shroude them frō the parching heat a cloude he did display And fire he sent to geue them lyght when night had hid the day They asked and he caused quayles to rayne at their request And fully with the bread of heauen their hunger be represt He opend then the stony rock and waters gushed out And in the drye and parched groundes lyke riuers ranne about For of his holy couenant ay myndefull was he thoe Which to his seruant Abraham he plighted long agoe He brought his people forth with mirth and his elect with ioy Out of the cruell land where they had lyued in great anoye And of the heathen men he gaue to them the frutefull landes The labors of the people eke they toke into theyr hands That they his holy statutes might obserue for euermore And faithfully obey his lawes prayse ye the Lorde therfore Confitemine domino Psal. Cvi N. The people dispersed vnder Antiochus doo magnifie the goodnes of God emonge the iust and repentant Desiring to be brought agayne into the lande by Gods mercyfull vysytacion And after the manifold meruayles of God wrought in their deliueraunce forth of Egipt and the great ingratitude of the people rehearsed they doo praye and dedesier to be gathered from among the Heathē to the entent they may prayse the name of the God of Israell PRayse ye the Lod for he is good Sing this as the. lxxxxv his mercye dures for ay Who can expresse his noble actes or all his prayse display They blessed are that iugment kepe and iustly doo alwaye With fauour of thy people Lorde remember me I pray And with thy sauing health O Lorde vouchesafe to visite me That I the great felicytie of thine elect may see And with thy peoples ioy I may a ioyfull minde posses And may with thine inheritance a glorying hart expres Bothe we and eke our fathers all haue sinned euery one We haue committed wickednes and leudly we 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 full low to lye yet when he saw them in distres he harkned to theyr crye He calld to
