Adams fall.
1
Iniurious
Adam in thy selfe accurst,
cease to cōplaine of God & natures thrall:
Since he that made man good, left him at first,
a power to stand, and yet a will to fall.
2
fetch not thy fault, frō heauens determinatiō
but blame thy mind to weake & insufficient:
Sinne is no being but a meere priuation,
and hath no cause efficient, but deficient.
3
For such is his respect yt all things moueth,
ye all thinges hold there motion & condition:
Error he neyther liketh nor approueth,
but suffreth onely by a iust permission:
Soe hast thou Adam in thy wish rebelling,
Thy faults not fates, nor ought there else compelling.
FINIS.
