Fuller DAVIDS Hainous Sinne. 1. HOw Zions Psalmist grieuously offended How Israels Harper did most foulely slide Yet how that Psalmist penitent amended And how tha● Harper patient did abide Deserved chastisement so fitly stil'd Which wrath inflicted not but love most mild Not for to hurt but heale a wanton child 2.

There let thy hungry sight her famine feede Whereon it cannot surfet with excesse Whil'st tongue heart harp are tuned vp with speed The grand-contrivers glory to expresse Framing with words to rayse his mighty name That with a mighty word did rayse this frame And by his providence preserves the same 9. 〈◊〉 let no lustfull thoughts lodge in thy minde ●●fore that they be borne they must be kill'd Or else the man is cruell that is kinde To spare the foes wherewith his Soule is spill'd And if a wanton motion may request Leave for to lodge a limbe th'incroaching guest Will soone command roome to receive the rest 10. Looke towards the midday Sun and thou shalt see A little tower o're topps of hills to peepe That is the birth place of thy pedygree Full oft there hast thou fed thy fathers sheepe And kept his flockes vpon the flowry plaine But now the Sheepe-hook of a country swaine Is turn'd the Scepter of of a Soveraigne 11 God made thee great oh doe not him disgrace And by his weighty Statutes lightly set Hee honour'd thee oh doe not him debase Hee thee remembred doe not him forget Why should fat Ieshurun so wanton grow As at his Maisters head his heeles to throw Maister that all his feeding did bestow 12 Behold high Cedars in the valley set They in thy eyes like little shrubbs doe show Whil'st little shrubbs vpon mount Oliuet Seeme lofty Cedars men whose states are low Their sinnes are not so obvious to sense In Princes persons of great eminence A smaller fault doth seem● a great offence 13 But grant no man thy wickednes espies Surely the Searcher of the reines doth marke Even infant luft can figg-leaves bleare his eyes Or can thy shame bee shrowded in the darke Darknes shall then be turned into light Yea Darknes is no Darknes in his sight But seeme the same to him both day and night 14 The Spirit had resolved more to speake But her halfe-spoken words the Flesh confounds Nor wonder is it she so vs'd to breake Gods Lawes not passing for to passe their bound● Against mans rules of manners should offend Which now impatient longer to attend Began before her Rivall made an end 15.
