Manasses (lord) is passed, which turned from the his heart, Achas and Amon, have now no more a do. Iechonias with other, which did themselves avarte. From the to idols, may now no farther go. The two false judges, and Bells wicked priests also. Phassur and Semeias, with Nabuchodonosore, Antiochus and Triphon shall the displease no more. Three score years and ten, thy people into Babylon, Were captive and thrall, for idols worshipping. Jerusalem was lost, and left void of dominion, Brent was their temple, so was their other building, There high priests were slain, their treasure came to nothing The strength and beauty, of thine own heritage, Thus didst thou leave then, in miserable bondage. Oft had they warnings, sometime by Ezechiel, And other prophets, as Esaye and Hieremye, sometime by Daniel, sometime by Ose and Iohel, By Amos and Abdias, by Ionas and by Sophonye, By Nahum and Micheas, by Agge and by Zacharye, By Malachias, and also by Abacuch, By Olda the widow, and by the prophet Baruch. Remember Iosias, which took the abomination. From the people then, restoring thy laws again. Of Rechab consydre, the faithful generation, Whom to wine drinking, no fryndshyppe night constrain. Remember Abdemelech, the friend of truth certain, Zorobabel the prince, which did repair the temple, And Iesus Iosedech, of virtue the example, Consydre Nehemias, and Esdras the good scribe, Merciful Tobias and constant Mardocheus. Iudith and queen Hester, of the same godly tribe, devout Mathathias, and Iudas Machabeus. Have mind of Eleazar, and then Ioannes Hircanus, Waye the earnest faith, of this godly company, Though the other clean, fall from thy memory. I will Iohan I will, for as I said afore, Rigour and hardness, I have now set a part, minding from hens fourth, to win man evermore, By wonderful kindness, to break his stubborn heart, And change it from sin. For Christ shall suffres make, In man's frail nature, for his iniquity, This to make open, my massinger shalt thou be. As thy pleasure is, so blessed lord appoint me, For my health thou art, and my souls felicity. Long ere I made thee, I the predestinate. Before thou wert borne, I the endued with grace. In thy mother's womb, wert thou sanctyfycate, By my godly gift, and so confirmed in place, A Prophet to show, a way before the face, Of my most dear son, which will come the until, Apply the apace, thine office to fulfil. Preach to the people, rebuking their negligence, Doppe them in water, they knowledging their offence. And say unto them. The kingdom of God doth cum. Vnmete lord I am, Quia puer ego sum. An other than that, Alac I have no science, Fyt for that office, neither yet clean eloquence.
