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

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

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

strife they fell For they did then Christs heard-men tell These wells were theirs and did belong To them loe thus they did rebell And in short time they grew so strong They drave Christs heard-men all away And stopt these wells with earth and clay Loe then the Gospell was neare gone Which had the Lord great labour cost By Matthew Marke by Luke and Iohn Was written through the holy Ghost Of Christians grief this was the most To see their Bibels burnt with fyer And also their life water lost For Rome had then got hir desire For thirsty soule their was no sup But dye or drinke of Babels cup. Yet were their many waterstreames That ranne from Rome to every place For Gospels truth they sent forth dreams Which were excepted in like case Untill such time the Lord by grace Brought his Gospell againe to light Which their inventions did deface Loe then they fell againe to fight For to suppres his holy word And to mainteyne their cause by sword Of late he sought to quench the light In such as lived in his land Or els to put them all to flight That would not take his mark in hand And also be at his command And walke with sered conscience But he shall see and understand The Lord comes forth for their defence His captives now shal be releast From this tyrant and bloudly beast His wise doe make him still so blind He cannot see Gods heavy hand Seeks many meanes but none shall find To keepe Christs captives in his lands Still brakes his cords and lovely bands His wells are full of earth and clay No Gospels truth he understands And drives his heard men still away This cause makes Christians Kings to fight For it doeth aske the sword aright God gives the same into their hand His Church and people to defend And David lets them understand Their great reward at their works end Wills Kings and Iudges eare to lend And sheweth to them Gods decree To kis the sonne he doeth them send That from his wrath ye may be free VVhen it shall burne as flaming fyer To give his enimies their hyer Thus Isaack strife did shadow forth The strife which now we heare see And Daniel a man of worth Declares a dreame that doeth agree Th' Apostle Paul and Iohn those three Doe well describe that bloudy beast His life and course and how that hee Shall end and Christs captives releast And so this story here we end The Reader to another send WIth loves intent I here present To Queene Elyzabeth For whom I pray from day to day And shall while I have breath Trusting to see your Majestee Led by the God of grace From here to part with joyfull heart Unto your resting place The time is neare by sinnes appeare Which here wee shall make knowne Christ doeth arise whose enimies Must all be overthrowne That man of sin who did begin To quench the Gospels light Who in Pauls time begun to clime True Christians put to flight Come to his heigh yet by Christs breath Consume and perish shall Who now doeth fume and yet consume True are the words of Paull Who doeth profes Christ in brightnes Of Gospell shall appeare And by his word as with the sword Shall him abolish cleare The Prophets old these things foretold And chiefly Daniell Whose prophesy this mistery Doeth touch and open well His king had sight of things by night Whereat he was dismayd Which hee forgot and did thereat Make all his wise afrayd This King was great Babell his seat It was Nebugadnezer Wee write here short for your comfort The story read at leyzer The Lord then told and did unfold To Daniell this dreame Which at this day doeth keepe his way Like to a running streame This Daniell the King did tell That hee upon his bed Could take no rest but was opprest Strange things came in his head His might and seat was large great He was exalted hie And fayne would know how it should goe When as he came to dye The 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 Who will performe this all There shall not mis one word of his The heavens shall rather fall He to
