be crown'd Her vessells all with oyle doth ouerflow And ceased not vntill the woman said My vessells all are full and then it staid 51 Then came she to the man of God and told The blessings which she had receiu'd that day Eliah said straight let the oyle be sold Wherewith thou mai'st thy creditors go pay And as the Lord this day thy state hath blest So keepe thy selfe children with the rest 52 The faithfull Shunamite deserueth well To be recorded with this sacred crue Who did the holy man of God compell To eate with her at euery season due And seriously her husband doth inuite To build a roome where he might lodge all night 53 Wherefore Eliah prayed vnto the Lord She being barren and her husband olde To make her fruitfull and he doth accord The Prophet cald the Shunamite and told For this good deed which thou to me hast done Thou shalt conceiue eke bring forth a son 54 And in due time this miracle was wrought By his great power that rules the starrie skie A ioyfull sonne into the world she brought Which shortly after happened to die Hereby to show his loue doth neuer cease To life he doth this child from death release 55 What title shall I giue this happy Queene Whose sacred worth her state doth far exceed No eare hath heard nor wādring eye hath seen An act more bloudy then is here decreed Her people all should be destroyd and slain Whose prayer and fasting did their liues obtaine 56 Of Prouinces one hundred twenty seuen The Iews should die the King had giuē seald Which was opposed by the powerfull heauen And at this gracious Queenes request repeal'd And to a shamefull end the man she brought That should this bloudy massacre haue wrought 57 Thus Hester by the Lords out stretched arme Who neuer failes them that in him doe trust Preseru'd her people from this wofull harme And brought their foes euen down in the dust For as they thought the Iewes to deale withall The same reuenge vpon their heads did fall 58 When Sarah whom her fathers maides dispise Was ouercome with hearts oppressing griefe Vnto the Lord for succour strait she flies Who heard her prayer granted her releife And husband of his grace he doth ordaine which into mirth her mourning turn'd again 59 If wisdome valor worth and zeale were lost And this rare patterne onely did remaine The world can scarce of such another boast Whereby it might redeeme them all againe Who by her prayer obtain'd from Gods high hand To saue a Cittie and preserue a Land 60 First dust and ashes on her head she throwes And all in sackcloth she doth fast and pray Then into Olofernes campe she goes Where she this famous Captaine doth betray With courage stout wisdom rare she vs'd His head she brought which al the land excus'd 61 Then did she call the Elders of the Towne Saying behold what God for you hath done With stately wreathes they did her straight way crowne And euery where with shoutes of ioy did run The riches great of Olofernes tent With one accord they doe to her present 62 Thus while she was extold and magnifi'd Whom euery eie with wonder did behold Vnto the Temple of the Lord she hi'd And off'ring all this wealth of plate and gold With humble zeale before the Alter bowes Vnto the Lord thus perform'd her vowes 63 A mirrour of a chast religious wife Is faire Susanna being fore distrest Who rather chose to loose her dearest life Then yeild vnto the Elders vild request Loe thus resolu'd aloud for helpe did cry And false accus'd she is condemned to die 64 But see how God did graciously prouide To saue this woman by a childes decree Who did the Elders seuerally deuide And found them both in seuerall tales to be For which vnworthy deed their liues they pay To her great honor who they did betray 65 A woman more then wonderfull behold Whose resolutions so vndanted are As by no earthly power can be control'd More permanent then any fixed starre Within the Spheare of that celistiall round To whom fames trumpet giues the loudest sound 66 Seuen sons she had who by the Kings cōmand Because they would not his behests obey To violate the custome of their land Were all adiudg'd their dearest liues to pay By sundry tortures which she seeing plaine Imboldned them still constant to remaine 67 When six of them the Tirant had destroy'd He wild his mother moue the seuenth to turne That so he might this cruell death auoid In stead whereof she bids him boldly burne And Martyr-like the Tirants rage defie Thus with his brothers he doth brauely die 68 Like Hecuba for death of Pryam old The mother now all tearmes of life defi'd VVith courage greater then Sheuola bold And thus this euer honored Martir di'd Where we wil leaue thē to the world to mourn And to our Grandame Eue againe returne 69 And there behold the race poore man had run VVhen God Angells did him both forsake Fit for precipice thou wert vndone And could'st no way a good attonment make Till this rare creature thou dispisest so VVas chosen out to mittigate thy woe 70 Assist me now ye sacred Sisters nine That I with reuerence may her praises sing VVho was elected by the powers deuine A sanctifi'd and blessed birth to bring VVhen man to sin was subiect to thrall Became a sweet redemption for vs all 71 For euer blessed be that glorious name Which God Angells haue pronounced blest Frō whose deare loins our happy Sauiour came That to the world brought loue ioy peace and rest And did not spare his precious bloud to spil Condemned mans saluation to fulfill 72 All honor praise and glory due be done To her whose seed hath conquered death hel A happy mother of a royall sonne Before whose throne she doth in glory dwell Where she with Angells Ark-angells sings Sweet haleluiah to the King of Kings 73 This blessed woman if I could not find An other subiect to defend their case Might well perswade men if they were not blind With enuious malice vold of humaine grace To striue as much their honor to maintaine As they pursue thē with such foule disdaine 74 A second Mary doth this first succeed Whose loue zeale throughout the world is spred The teares would make a marble heart to bleed VVhich for her deare deceased Lord she shed Deep plung'd in woes in sorows great opprest Her minde amaz'd her sences dispossest 75 In this sad passion to the place she goes VVhereas she thought our blessed Sauiour lay No pen so dolefull can expresse her woes VVhen she perceiu'd the body stolne away A fresh she wept down her head she hung Like lapwings that are robbed of their yong 76 The precious ointment that with her she brought That glorious body to imb●lme and keepe She nought respects since it was gon she
