deed so foul prepares himself to run To some close shelter where he might immure His naked body and repose secure But ah in vain in vain he strove to hide Himself from God that need implore no guide To teach him where his sad offender lay He needs must find when sin hath chalk'd the way But when Heav'ns shril-enquiring voyce surrounded The ears of Adam Adam was confounded VVith deep distress his heart began to call His quivering Senses to a Funeral Fear like a powerful fire began to thaw His frozen thoughts and keep his soul in awe He breath'd in a Dilemma and could find No Sanctuary for a perjur'd mind At last the language of th' eternal God Storm'd his sin-armed soul and like a Rod VVhip● him from his security and cry'd Adam where art thou Adam thus reply'd I heard thee walking in the pleasing shade Of the cool ev'ning and I was afraid And hid my self because I must confess I blusht to see my shameful nakedness GOD Tell me thou trembling wretch how dost thou know That thou art naked say who told thee so ●hat has thy lips usurp'd the fruit which I ●●njur'd thee not to touch if so reply Adam The woman which thou gav'st me gave to me ●●d I did eat of the forbidden tree GOD Unconstant woman Ah why hast thou ru● ●●●ond thy bounds what 's this that thou hast done Woman the Serpents flowing language swel'd too great 〈◊〉 my low banks he tempted and I eat Gods Curse against the Serpent Because thou hast thus subtilly deluded 〈◊〉 lustful woman thou shalt be excluded ●●●m future good more shall thy curses yield ●●●n all the beasts and cattle in the field 〈◊〉 belly shall because thou hast done this ●●●e to the earth a life-remaiming kiss ●●●u shalt not taste of any thing that 's good ●●●t shall supply the place of wholesom food 〈◊〉 be thy ways thou shalt no more be seen ●●me I will put enmity between Thy seed and her● hereafter thou shalt feel A bruised head and she a bruised heel Gods Curse against the woman And as for thee oh woman I 'le enlarge Thy grief and thy conception I 'le discharge Thy joys and load thee with a weighty grief Thy pains in child-bed shall find no relief Thou shalt desire thy husband and his hand Shall over-rule thee with a strict command Adams Curse Rebellious Adam unto thee I 'le give A life as bad as death for thou shalt live To see thy sorrows more and more abound And for thy sake I 'le curse the loathed ground For thou hast hark'ned to the conquering voyce Of thy frail wife and made my fruit thy choyce And sepulchred my words within the grave Of thy false heart be gone thou self-made slave The thorny ground shall give a large increase To thy laborious hand the name of Peace Shall prove a stranger to thy ears and thou Shalt eat thy bread with a sweat-dropping brow I 'le murther all thy joys thy brest shall burn VVith flaming care until thy corps return Into the bowels of th' inclusive earth From whence thou hadst thy substance and thy birth For base thou art and therefore thou shalt be A food for gnawing worms and not for me As thou art dust to dust thou shalt ●etire Hereafter let not dust presume t' ●spire Strange alteration Oh pernicious Fate Too quickly bred in such an infant state He that but even now enjoy'd a life Ballanc'd with pleasures now is ●ll'd with strife He whose majestick Soul was lat●ly crown'd VVith blest content is now ingulf'd and drown'd In sorrows Ocean He which was before Inrich'd with happiness is n●w as poor As poverty can make him He which ●ad The countenance of H●av'n to m●k● him glad Is now eclipst he knows not where to run Sin having interpos'd between the Sun And his dark Soul the Center of whose rest Is now remov'd and he survives unblest He which but even now had leave to dwell And revel in Heav'ns eye desires a Cell To entertain him he which liv'd in Peace Is now thrown down and forfeited his lease Great was his Crime great was his sudden Fall Great was his Tenement his rent but small Poor Adam's taken by his own decoys Sin is the Sequestrator of all joys Sad Pilgrim of the world where wilt thou find In the unpathed earth a place so kind To entertain thee Ah where wilt thou keep Thus tumbled from a Precepes so steep Thy sad unpeopl'd randezvouz Oh where VVilt thou procure a hand that will unsnare Th' intangled Soul Alas thy wearied life Hath two most sad companions first a Wife Then a bad Conscience what two greater crosses Can hang upon a brest whose cares whose losses Are grown so infinite that no relief But what distills from Heav'n can ease their grief Thou wert the first of men that entertain'd So grand a sorrow thou the first that stain'd So pure a colour thou the first that dwelt In Edens garden thou the first that felt The scourge of fury hadst not thou transgrest Vengeance had found no hand nor grief a brest Ah hadst not thou offended sin had found No habitation nor thy Soul a wound Had not thy hand so wilfully unlock'd The door of Death Destruction had not knock'd At thine impenitrable gates or ventur'd T' approach so near but being open'd enter'd Bold Customer of fate that sought about To come within and turn poor Adam out Thy strength outstrengthd his strēgth made him weak A vessel crack'd how can it chuse but leak Sin prov'd Deaths father mans heart the womb That brought it forth this death shall find a tomb VVhen the Determiner of time hath hurl'd A finis to the volume of the world Till then man mortaliz'd by sin must be A subject unto Deaths Soveraigntie Poor man in what a wilderness of sorrow Dost thou now ramble in where wilt thou borrow A minutes rest On what inclining ear VVilt thou expend thy groans what canst thou hear But dialects of misery to vex Thy bankrupt thoughts The fatal disrespects Of Heav'n will blow and toss thee up and down From place to place his still-renewed frown VVill follow thee therefore provide t' endure The hot pursutes of such a fierce pursuer Canst thou expect that this thy grand abuse VVhich runs beyond the limits of excuse Can be forgotten Dost thou think t' out-live Thy long-liv'd crimes or hope for power to give Due satisfaction to thy God whose rage Thy heart cannot endure much less asswage Most lachrymable state What canst thou do Oa man that may ingratiate or renew Thy formor love Alas thy base condition M●●●s the●●●capable of a Petition Prepare thy self see if thou canst invade His Soul with pray'rs see if thou canst perswade His ●eart to yield unto thy sad request And ●●inth one thee with thy former rest D●●●●ct thy Soul with groans anatomize Thy heart with sighs and let thy winged cries Fly through the angles of his sacred ear And
