A12742	Loves revenge VVherein is briefly shewed from the historie of the holy scripture, the rising, grouth, and finall fall of the man of sinne; with the long and continuall strife betwixt the two seeds, how they have, from time to time, sought to disinherite each other: and how that Christ, by his righteous life, and long sufferings, in the end shall get the victory, and justly revenge himself upon his adversarie. Omnia vincit amor, & c. By Ios. Speed.	Speed, Joshua.	1631 (1631)	STC 23050; ESTC S101712	43,323	144

he be no Nazarite For Beth lehem that is the place VVhich claimes the title and the right The honour and the high renown Of Judah's scepter and his crown And Prophet he is surely none Be not deceiv'd open your eyes Where have you read of any one Out Nazareth that should arise And by his Genealogie No Priest nor Levite he can be He doth that which Moses forbod He will not live under his aw T is good to see hee 's not of God Because he doth not keep his law His statutes he will not obey But work upon the Sabbath day God spake with Moses in the mount For Moses fore the Lord did stand And every man must give account For all which Moses did command If any thing were done amisse But no man knows whence this man is T is true he bears a seeming shew His words be pleasing to deceive But who doth any Ruler know That doth him or his words believe Or any learned Pharisees No no such men be all too wise If you will live in godly fear And be submissive to Gods word Vnto the Priest incline your eare He messenger is of the Lord Within his heart doth wisedome grow And from his lips doth knowledge flow But such as do not know the law And still remain under the curse He may by his allurements draw And lead them forth from bad to worse And bring them to their finall end While they on his fair words depend VVhat though he doth work miracles And many people follow him Yet know these are but infidells VVhose eies be blinde whose sight is dim They follow him but to be fed And have their bellies full of bread If you will miracles behold And such as have been wrought by God You know what Moses did of old VVhen he did but cast down his rod Before the face of Aegypts king That rod a Serpent forth did bring He turn'd the waters into bloud The dust to vermine did arise That all men then amazed stood He brought in thousand swarmes of flies To fill their houses and the ground VVith multitudes did still abound A mighty murren he did bring On Pharaoh's cattell speedily So that it was told to the king All sorts of cattell gan to die VVho sent to Goshen where they found The Hebrews cattell all were sound He brought a scab a blistring sore VVhich did annoy both man and beast And did torment both rich and poor The Sorcerers could have no rest All the inchanters lost their might For none could stand in Moses sight And when he could not yet prevail Nor Pharaoh yeeld to his desire He called for a mighty hail Thunder and lightning mixt with fire VVhich tore the trees which fruit did yeeld And slue the cattell in the field And then again stretch't out his rod And with a mightie easterne winde And by the power of his God He brought a strange and fearfull kinde Of Grashopers in such a store The like was never seen before And when he stretched out his hand Which was so powerfull and strong Black darknesse did possesse the land Which did endure full three daies long That no man did enjoy his sight And yet the Hebrews had clear light When God the first-born all had slain In Aegypt land of man and beast The Kings own heir which was to reigne And so descending to the least Then Pharaoh's soul was full of wo For then he let Gods people go But Pharaoh vexed at the heart And taking it in great disdain That Israel should so depart He thought to fetch them back again And calling all his warlike crew He Israel did then pursue Then Moses stretched out his Rod And did the raging sea divide And by the power of his God Did Pharaoh and his hoast deride And did deliver Aegypts slave And made the sea proud Pharaoh's grave When Korah Dathan and the rest Two hundred fifty Captains stout This worthy Moses did molest The Lord did quickly finde them out For Moses sake the ground did rive And swallowed them all alive What miracles hath this man wrought That may be once compar'd to these I wonder men should bend one thought To listen to such fantasies Such dreams make sleeping men to quake Which vanish when a man doth wake For what can he do any more Then other men so well as he Have done or could have done before Search but the Scripture you shall see What other men have done in time Yet were no gods but earth and slime He fasted fourty daies and nights Eliah did as much as he He is one of the greatest lights Open your eyes and you shall see The heav'ns obeyed his desire And at his call did send him fire The skies did shut at his request And at his prayer ope again The Lord he gave not any rest Vntill that he had sent him rain This man was by the Ravens fed And in his time did raise the dead The waters he did once divide And made the river Iordane stand Like walls uprighs on either side Till he went through upon drie land Then with a whirl-winde he did flie Here from the earth into the skie Elisha also did divide Iordane made poyson'd waters sweet The children which did him deride The Bears devoured them for meat And dy his prayer be did gain To raise the dead to life again He cleansed Naaman's leprousie Gainst nature he made iron swim His fame throughout the world doth flie Such worthy acts were done by him And being dead it is most plain His bones did raise the dead again This man is like to none of these He cometh here but to deceive He cannot cure one small disease Except a man do first believ The Endors Witch when Saul did crave Rais'd Samuel out of his grave This is but Aegypts sorcery This Serpent was in Aegypt bred But Moses Rod will make him flie Or else his Serpent bite him dead No Sorcerer mongst us may dwell No Witch may live in Israel You know the Prophets have foretold That subtle Foxes should arise And thrust themselves into this fold To vent their forgeries and lies Such Prophets as God hath not sent We must in time lay to prevent What doth he bring out of his store Men to a godly life to draw But such as have been taught before They be the doctrines of the law Why should our sight then be so dim That we should fix our eies on him And thus the Serpent by his craft The woman once again misled That he might shoot another shaft To strike the second Adam dead He knew where faith could have no venter There love could have no place to enter For as true faith doth work by love So unbelief doth work by hate The one is one with God above The other is the Devills mate Vnfained love doth cover sinne But hate by murder seeks to win But Christ perceiving his intent And knowing he his life must give The Devils malice to prevent That Adam

before thine eies The royall kingdomes of the earth For all that is under the skies Is mine inheritance by birth All glory majesty divine Honour and power all is mine Nebuchadnezar wore my crown And did my royall scepter sway He did maintain my high renown All men must his command obey Now will I give all this to thee If thou wilt bowe and worship me Satan avoid I am forbod And must obey if I will live To worship any other God Then him which doth the power give All honour majesty divine Belongs to him t is none of thine Nebuchadnezar did not love The God of heaven whom I adore Nor knew his power came from above But was his own my God therefore Did his ambition deride Even in the height of all his pride And made him like another beast Seven winters long in frost and snow Among the oxen for to feast That he at length might come to know And in this time might justly prove All power comming from above The Serpent then thought in his minde This must be sure that blessed Lambe For in my tempting I do finde That he is more then Abraham Then Isaac Iacob more is he Nay he is more then all these three For Abrams faith was weak and frail When God did promise him a seed And Isaac's hope began to fail When he lay ready for to bleed And Iacob's love that was not great When he refus'd his brother meat Yet Abraham when hope was past By faith did blessed Isaac gain Isaac also while hope did last Praid for a sonne God gave him twain But Jacob's love did win the crown When faith hope were both put down This man he is but one alone Yet with them all he doth agree So that I now see three in one And yet this one more then these three They were like shadows on a wall And this the substance of them all Moses and Aaron both did fail They were not perfect in Gods sight And Ioshuah could not prevail For he was put unto the flight And could not win nor conquer aie Till Achans sinne was put away What need I any more repeat All men have failed in their time Yea all have sinned small and great This man alone is void of crime His faith his hope his love will draw Sinnes strength power from the law Oh this is he which was foretold That of a Virgin should be born For thirty pence he should be sold And made a curse and open scorn Yet when his guiltlesse bloud is shed The curse will light upon my head This is that Abel which was slain Whose bloud was poured on the ground And yet in Sheth did rise again Deaths fetters could not hold him bound This is that Henoch other none VVhich God did take up to his throne When all men fell this man did stand His faith alone did mercy crave He built an Ark at Gods command Him and his family to save Which being done he entred in And did condemn the world for sinne This is that blessed Abraham VVhich did not spare his onely sonne But went to offer up that lambe And said Oh Lord thy will be done This is that Isaac now I say Which was as ready to obey This is that Iacob which did flie His brothers malice to prevent And went to Haran speedily There where his father had him sent VVithin his mothers house to finde A wife unto his fathers minde This is that Iudah born to reign Levi to offer sacrifice That Ioseph which did gather grain Against a famine should arise His hatefull bretheren to feed When they did stand in extream need This is that Moses which did smite The proud Aegyptian to ground Seeing him with an Hebrew fight He gave him there a deadly wound He thought they would on him depend As one that should their right defend Coming again the other day He found two Hebrews at debate My bretheren then he did say VVhy do yee one another hate Love teacheth men to suffer long And not to do his brother wrong The wrongfull would not understand But in his heart began to grudge Thrust Moses from him with his hand Saying Who hath made thee a judge Or art thou come my bloud to spill As thou didst the Aegyptian kill This Moses fled but came again For to release them from their bands But then his coming was not vain He pluck't them out of Pharaoh's hands And by a strong and mighty hand He brought them out of Aegypt land This is that Ioshuah whose might Possest them in the holy Land Slue one and thirty kings in fight The Sunne and Moon both still did stand Vntill his enemies did flie And he return with victory This is that David which took care His fathers sheep from Wolves to hold He kild a Lyon and a Bear VVhich would have broke into his fold And after that Goliah slue The proudest Gyant of the crue He was a Shepheard so is this Yet chosen king while Saul did reigne This must be he how should it misse For Gods anointing is not vain The Crown doth hang over his head And he shall reigne when I am dead Saul's unbelief despair and hate Deprived him of his renown Faith hope and love did David's state Advance and brought him to the Crown The more I do the Shadow see The more I know that this is he I must of force now give him scope I can by no means him allure For Abram 's faith and Isaac's hope Have made his birth-right firm and sure And Iacob's love that perfect band Hath bound the blessing in his hand And thus he left him there he stood Through hunger fainting almost dead But then the Angels brought him food VVherewith his hungry soul was fed And then he went from coast to coast To seek the sheep which he had lost He brought glad tidings to the poor The broken hearted he did binde And opened the prison door That captives liberty might finde And shew'd them the reward of sinne To comfort those which strove to win He made the blinde receive their sight The Lepers he made whol and clean The lame and creple go upright The deaf to hear the dead were seen To rise again out of their grave He did help all that help did crave For all diseases he did cure He did the Divells dispossesse And sought all men for to allure To purchase life and happinesse Sinnes fetters he did break asunder That all men did behold and wonder While that the sunne did shine thus bright The Serpent overspread the skie With misty clouds to damp the light And make his beams reflect and flie That men could not by humane sight Know night from day nor day from night You look for a deliverer A King quoth he to set you free But Joseph's sonne the Carpenter You may be sure is none of he Will you on basenesse fix your eies And feed your eares with fantasies Suppose he were of David's race Yet
