213. On Commination.

Gods dreadful threatnings give man warning do,
Before his Murd'ring-pieces give the blow.
O when God menaceth, let us begin
To quake and greatly tremble, lest by sin

And on our heads denounced Plagues draw down
God warn'd us hath, some judgments he hath sent
And more will come, if England not repent.
