xiii.

[Gods iudgments seldome vse to cease, vnlesse]

Gods iudgments seldome vse to cease, vnlesse
The sinnes which them procurd men doe confesse.
Our cryes are Baalles priestes, our fasting vaine,
Our prayers not heard, nor answered vs againe:
Till periurye, wrong, rebellion, be confest,
Thinke not on peace, nor to be fred of pest.
