A long time before this our last deliverance our estate was so hard that from the death of Ehud vnto this tyme none durst goe abroad for feare of the enemie 6. And as the people durst not travell in hie wayes So might they not abyde in villages vntill the time that GOD raised mee vp to foretell and confirme the deliverance of his people 7. Because Israel chosed new gods God raised vp new enemies to sight against them and oppresse them so that no weapon was found among them 8. I rejoyce of the Princes of Israel and of the people who came willingly to battell Blesse ye the Lord. 9 Let al sort of people speak of this work of God but namely merchants judges way-faring folke where before hid them selues for feare of the enemie 10. Before for feare of the enemy they durst not come foorth to draw water nor inhabit villages nor minister justice now the case is altered by the righteous acts of the LORD which wee should proclaime 11. Thou Deborah a prophetesse ryse vp and sing thy song of praise to GOD. and thou Barak captaine of the Lords armie triumph over the Cananite 12.

Why had thou greater pleasure in the care of thy flocks nor in the care of the commonwealth more care of thy beasts then of GODS people wee marveled much when we saw Reuben absent 16. Gilead came not Dan for feare keept the boats of Iordan to flee away Asher also did stay at home in his surest places for refuge 17 Such courage zeale was in the tribs of Zebulon Naphtali who being few in number in comparison with their enemies did venter 18 Many Kings of Canaan sent their forces with Sisera who fought in the plaine betwixt Taanah Megiddo They looked for greater spoyle riches but brought none away 19. GOD shew himselfe partie against the enemies of his people and caused the starres in their stations fight against them 20. Hee also caused the river Kison to swell drowne them and made his people stout to slay them 21. So sore were the horse put at in fighting and fleeing that they being strong and beating the ground with their feete brake all their hoofes 22. Barak the Lords messenger had good cause to curse and bide curse the inhabitants of Meroz who would not come foorth to helpe GODS people being so neare them 23.

When Sisera fled came to her tent to hyde himselfe hee called for water to quench his thirst shee gaue him milke and butter in pretious vessels like a freind or servant 25. But when shee saw him fast a sleepe shee tooke one of the nailes of the tent with a hammer in her right hand wherewith she drove the naile throgh the temples of his head fast in the ground 26.

whiles cryed out why stayes he so long what can bee his stay 28. Her ladies essayed al their wits to comfort her yea even shee comforted her self with his owne words saying 29. They haue found their prey they are parting the spoyle even damosels to everie man and the colloured partie coloured garments sowed with nedle worke made to be ornaments for their neckes 30.
