O most mighty governor, of thy people, and in heart most desired, the hard rock and true corner stone, that of two maketh one, uning the Iewes with the gentiles in one church, come now and relieve mankind whom thou haste formed of the vile earth. Still so increaseth, the wickedness of man, That I am moved, with plagues him to confound▪ His weakness to aid, I do the best I can, Yet he regardeth me, no more than doth an hound. My word and promise, in his faith taketh no ground, He will so long walk, in his own lusts at large, That nought he shall find, his folly to discharge. Sens Abraham's time, which was my true elect, Ishmael have I found, both wicked, fierce, and cruel, And Esau in mind, with hateful muther infect, The sons of Iacob, to lusts unnatural fell, And into Egypte, did they their brother sell. Laban to idols, gave faithful reverence, Dina was corrupt, through Sichems violence. Reuben abused his father's concubine, Iudas gate children, of his own daughter in law. Yea, her in my sight, went after a wicked line, His seed Onanspylte, his brother's name to withdraw. Achan lived here, without all godly awe. And now the children, of Israel abuse my power, In so vile manner, that they move me every hour. pacify thy wrath, sweet lord I the desire, As thou art gentle, benign and patient. Lose not that people, in fierceness of thine ire, For whom thou hast showed, such tokens evident, Converting this rod, into a lively serpent, And the same serpent, into this rod again, Thy wonderful power, declaring very plain. For their sakes also, puttest Pharaoh to pain, By ten diverse plagues, as I shall here declare. By blood, frogs, & lice, by flies, death, botch, & blain. By hail, by grassoppers, by darkness, and by care. By a Soden plague, all their first gotten ware, Thu flewest in one night, for his fierce cruelness. From that thy people, withhold not now thy goodness. I certify thee, my chosen servant Moses. That people of mine is full of unthankefuln 〈…〉 Dear lord, I know it, alas yet way their weaken 〈…〉 And bear with their faults, of thy great bounteousness. In a flaming bush, having to them respect, Thu appoyntedest me, their passage to direct. And through the read see, thy right hand ded us lead. Where Pharaoh's host, the flood overwhelmed in deed. Thu wentest before them, in a shining cloud all day, And in the dark night, in fire thou shewedest their way, Thu sentest them Manna, from heaven to be their food, Out of the hard stone, thou gavest them water good. Thu appoyntedest them, a land of milk and honey, let them not perish, for want of thy great mercy,

O most myghtye gouernour, of thy people, and in hart most desyred, the harde rocke and true corner stone, that of two maketh one, vnynge the Iewes with the gentyles in one churche, come now and releue mankynde whom thu hast fourmed of the vyle earthe. STyll so increaseth, the wyckednesse of man, That I am moued, with plages hym to confounde▪ Hys weakenesse to ayde, I do the best I can, Yet he regardeth me, no more than doth an hounde. My worde and promyse, in hys faythe taketh no grounde, He wyll so longe walke, in hys owne lustes at large, That nought he shall fynde, hys folye to dyscharge. Sens Abrahams tyme, whych was my true elect, Ismael haue I founde, both wycked, fearce, and cruell, And Esau in mynde, with hatefull muther infect, The sonnes of Iacob, to lustes vnnaturall fell, And into Egypte, ded they their brother sell. Laban to ydolles, gaue faythfull reuerence, Dina was corrupt, through Sichems vyolence. Ruben abused hys fathers concubyne, Iudas gate chyldren, of hys owne doughter in lawe. Yea, her in my syght, went after a wycked lyne, Hys sede Onanspylte, hys brothers name to withdrawe. Achan lyued here, without all godlye awe. And now the chyldren, of Israel abuse my powre, In so vyle maner, that they moue me euerye howre. Pacyfye thy wrathe, swete lorde I the desyre, As thu art gentyll, benygne and pacyent. Lose not that people, in fearcenesse of thyne yre, For whom thu hast shewed, soche tokens euydent, Conuertynge thys rodde, into a lyuelye serpent, And the same serpent, into thys rodde agayne, Thy wonderfull power, declarynge very playne. For their sakes also, puttest Pharao to payne, By ten dyuerse plages, as I shall here declare. By bloude, frogges, & lyce, by flyes, death, botche, & blayne. By hayle, by grassoppers, by darkenesse, and by care. By a Soden plage, all their first gotten ware, Thu flewest in one nyght, for hys fearce cruelnesse. From that thy people, witholde not now thy goodnesse. I certyfye the, my chosen seruaunt Moses. That people of myne is full of vnthankefuln Dere lorde, I knowe it, alas yet waye their weaken And beare with their faultes, of thy great bounteousnesse. In a flamynge bushe, hauynge to them respect, Thu appoyntedest me, their passage to direct. And through the reade see, thy ryght hande ded vs lede. Where Pharaoes hoost, the floude ouerwhelmed in dede. Thu wentest before them, in a shynynge cloude all daye, And in the darke nyght, in fyre thu shewedest their waye, Thu sentest them Manna, from heauen to be their food, Out of the harde stone, thu gauest them water good. Thu appoyntedest them, a lande of mylke and honye, Lete them not perysh, for want of thy great mercye,
