Prophet than forthwith began His vision to unfold Sayd he saw stand one like a man Whose head was of fine gold His armes and brest of silver best His thyes and belly brasse His leggs iron he stood upon His feete and tooes alas Iron and clay that could not stay Or make it long to stand For from a mount a stone of count Was taken without hand Fell on his feete as it was meete For then hee needs must fall Then were they found to powder grong These mighty Monarks all Thus broken all in peeces small Long there they did not stay For then the wind thereto assynd Did drive them quite away Which being gone this worthy stone Became a mighty mount That fild the earth brought in new birth A worke of great account The dreame here ends this depends Which Daniell did unfold He did relate this Kings estate Who was this head of gold O King sayd hee now after thee Another Kingdome shall To silver he may likened be That third rulles over all Although but brasse it comes to pas He rulls over the earth The fourth shall be stronger then he But not of so great worth He is Iron regardeth none But treeds all under foote In peeces breake and spoyles the weake And seekes all out to roote But that his strenght begunne at lenght To fall into decay For why his feete were macht unmeete As Iron is with clay This clay was then the seed of men Which he did joyne withall And suffred them to live by him Least they should worke his fall For it is found he had a wound That came from Gospels light Who brought to pas it healed was Through this his subtile flight Whose presente state we shall relate He lately chang'd his minde With clay could he no longer gre His wise had made him blinde Of that image in this our age The feete alone remayne And at this day we see the clay Doeth fall from him againe Like Eagle he begins to flee Is driven from place to place His fothers fall both great and small His younge in wofull case He must feele smart he is last part Of that red bloudy beast For his workes all reward he shall Receave at Hesters feast The time neare is an end of his By sinnes that doe appeare Which Christ hath told that makes us bold To say the time is neare This stone is Christ Sonne of the High'st Who now comes forth to fight With his owne word as with a sword To bring againe the light This stone shall grind the wilfull blind The Iron with the clay The Gospels wind that shall they find To drive them all away For then forewindes shall in their kindes Bloe over all the earth To waken such as fleepe too much And bring them to new birth Christ is the stone wee build upon
