the Iewes these words did use From Davids words of old He them asked how they had read And did this thing unfold Told them anon how that the stone The builders did refuse Was chosen forth and of great worth In house of God to use He told them well who thereon fell Should geat a deadly wound But every one it fell upon Should be to powder ground He fallen is for good of his And doeth like milestone grind Search in his word which gives record For truth you shall it finde And mind withall the words of Paull Which we before resight They are so strong Christs foes er long Shall be abolish quite Some may aske who this worke shall doe The which we shall declare This to fulfill and doe Christs will Ten hornes appointed are These we hornes call are not Kings all Though Christ the name afords Kings did begin this worke werein Are Princes Dukes and Lords Which heretofore the beast upbore Their power did abuse Whom he releast tooke from the beast In this his worke to use He them converts put in their hearts For to performe his will Which did consent incontenent And shall the same fulfill These hate the whore and will no more Drinke out of Babels cup But eat hir flesh which is the trash That must be burned up And naked she at least must flee Hir wealth consumed quite Both spirituall and temperall And forst to take hir flight The beast were on she sat upon With all his bloudy trayne Hir false prophet shall none unset For they shall both be tayne Yet some shall feare and drave Christ neare And leave that wicked race Won by his word that lovely sword Which he will save by grace The others al both great and small VVhat favour can they cleme Sixt plages no doubt one them cast out And yet they doe blaspheme Now these hornes ten Kings great men Are not all in one land God doeth such call in Kingdomes all To take his work in hand The whore hir seat is large and great As Nations peoples tonges In places all the Lord bring shall VVhat to this worke belongs The Denmarks King begun this thing And his labour much cost One fayned friend did at the end Make all his labour lost Yet for all this he would not cease But sent his sonne for ayde VVhich lost his life their in the strife VVhich shortly was betrayd The King of Swede came forth to ayde The captives their distrest Who sought ech way from day to day To bring them to their rest This worthy horne like unicorne Did lead the others one That they went forth like men of worth With currage have they gone This King at rest and doubtles blest This changeth not the case Wante of one man not hinder can Another comes in place His Kingdome still strive to fulfill The worke which he begun So shall ech horne the like performe Vntill this work be done This worke of worth shall still goe forth The horns have toke in hand Which is we see for to set free Christs captives in ech land For Pooll nor Spayne shall long remayne Nor yet the Eag'ls grace Chief members in that man of sin Which would Gods truth deface Nor Rome the seat though it be great For it must have a fall Gods worke of grace shall now take place And overthrow them all Though they cry peace they doe not cease But seeke with trechery To win the prise but all their lies God dayly doeth discry VVith that their net which now they set They will be taken all They dig a pit and into it Themselves shall shortly fall Except they cease and seek true peace VVith King Abimeleck But this we know they will not doe Till Christ doe bow their neck That work to end we doe commend Unto the Lord of life VVishing that we an end might see Of this their bloudy strife True Christians all both great small Ought for this thing to pray That God these rocks and stumbling blocks VVould take out of the way That his Gospell might prosper-well And bring in peace and love Which we must seeke with prayer meeke It comes from God above O might we see the Teachers gree VVhich long have left the whore Labour with love things rightly proove And so Christs truth restore Paull having told how manifold Gods gifts are from above And sayth withall the principall Is faith that works by love True love this day is in decay Men seeke for worldly wealth Stryving for it their soules forget Seeke not Gods saving health True love sayth Iohn found in ech one Their faith will God approove He dwels in them and they in him For God himself is love Sought of him then like childeren This gifte for to inherite Hee would it give that we might live And worship him in spirit Community in unity VVould then confirme our faith The bands of love then we should proove VVould hold it fast Paul saith Knowledge without love makes men stout It makes them spirituall blind Love is lowly and not lofty Hir speeches very kind Hir prophesy will edify VVhereby she may be knowne Hir words are food seeks ech one good So ernest as hir owne This love in heart shall not depart From such as love the Lord But love in tonge cannot last longe This like a rotten corde And such their be this day we see In this course cannot stay VVhose words are faire yet like a snare To draw mens hearts away From Gospells truth in age or youth Or els give them no rest But wise will try things carefully And keepe that which is best Leave of this toyle and rest a while This strife shall likewise end There shall come peace this strife shall cease VVith such as now contend VVhen God hath layd as he hath sayd Christs fooes at his foot stoelle Then those now learn shall then deserne The wise man from the foole And heare new things for all plantings Not planted by the Lord He will roote out there is no doubt For Christ hath spoke the word His testament must us content As it was given at first VVho putteth to or taketh fro Shall find himself accurst The Gospell sayes how that Moses VVas faithfull found in all How much more Christ in his house high'st A Prophet principall Our talent small now shewed all This is our hearts request That ech would try it lovingly And keepe those things are best FINIS
