compeld compelled was I say To see to serue and worship euery day A thowsand forged gods in steede of thee Which madst the heauen earth which we do see Thou then eftsoones didst will me to conuey My selfe from those same places quite away And I immediatly vpon thy call Left Parents countrie goods with gods all Yea Lord thou knowest I wist not whither thē Thou wouldst me lead nor where me stay agen But he that followeth thee
