IESVS SVVEEPS THE DVST OF SINNES from the hart.

The Hymne.

O IESV thou art come from Heauen,
Find'st lying al at, fix and seauen,
In seueral shapes, my horrid sinnes
To sweep away, the broome begins;
Not like the chips, when thou didst keep
At home, and with the besome sweep
The dust, and little chips, which flew
About the house, but now in view,
Thou sweep'st, as chips cut from that tree
Which was the sourse of misery,
Those mōsters, loathsom dust, where breeds
Th' old serpent; on this filth he feeds.
Hels Scauendger, come take thy load,
The muck the viper, serpent, toad.
