[From Israels Houshold, sprong a mightie crue]

From Israels Houshold, sprong a mightie crue:
The Ægypt king, to keep them vnder hand,
Their Male children therefore vntowardly slue.
That time was Moses borne in Ægypt Land:
Who after fourty yeares, by God was sent,
To help poore Israel, drownd in Lament.
