Commandment I.
[Pharoh, by great wonders wrought]
I. Thou shalt have none other Gods but me &c.
Pharoh, by great wonders wrought
To acknowledge God was brought,
And had Reasons light to see
Who, his only God should be.
To acknowledge God was brought,
And had Reasons light to see
Who, his only God should be.
Had he well that Guist employ'd,
Special Grace, had been enjoy'd;
But, no use thereof he made,
And so, lost the gift he had;
Stubborn too, the Fool did grow,
And ran headlong to his woe.
Special Grace, had been enjoy'd;
But, no use thereof he made,
And so, lost the gift he had;
Stubborn too, the Fool did grow,
And ran headlong to his woe.
