 | Poems by Robert Gomersall |  |
Is this your Iustice heav'ns? nay I would know
If it at least be wisedome, thus to show
Your wrath upon you followers? if there be
Such a desire in you to make us see
What powre you have, wherefore d'ye not use
That powre on those, who impiously abuse
Vs and your selves? O there are heathen still,
People that neither feare, nor know your will,
If you will ruine these, or any wise
But lessen, y'ave the fewer Enemies:
On these be powerfull; but if you doubt
Whether such nations may be singled out,
That sinne hath fled the world, then here begin,
For all the Heathen are in Benjamin.
If it at least be wisedome, thus to show
Your wrath upon you followers? if there be
Such a desire in you to make us see
What powre you have, wherefore d'ye not use
That powre on those, who impiously abuse
Vs and your selves? O there are heathen still,
People that neither feare, nor know your will,
If you will ruine these, or any wise
But lessen, y'ave the fewer Enemies:
On these be powerfull; but if you doubt
Whether such nations may be singled out,
That sinne hath fled the world, then here begin,
For all the Heathen are in Benjamin.
