[IIII. First part. Anthem. When Israell came out of Egipt]
When Israell came out of Egipt

And the house of Iacob, from among the strange children.
The Sea saw that and fled, Iordan was driuen back, Iordan Iordan Iordan was driuen, Iordan
The mountaines skipped like Rammes, And the little hils,
like young Sheep, and the little hils like young Sheep.
[V. Second part. Anthem. What aileth thee, oh thou Sea]
What aileth thee, oh thou Sea
What aileth thee, oh thou Sea, that thou fleddest?

Thou earth,
At the presence of the God of Iacob. Amen. Amen. Amen.
[VI. Neopolitan. Come life, come death]
Come life, come death, I care not
Come life, come death, I care not, if I may onely

When she but spies me, she flyes me, she fooles me, she cooles my desier.

my desier. she cooles my desier.
