this heape apply To make it burne and all before it teare And so faire Brittains Empire English nation Euen in a moment bring to desolation 86 The fault it selfe was plaine and manifest He could not

Thy bounteous goodnesse Lord doth farre exceed That carest for such a people so vnworthy And that at such a time a time of need So carest for them that care so little for thee For thee or thine so
