Henceforth what is to com I will relate,

With large Wine-offerings pourd, and sacred Feast,

Under paternal rule; till one shall rise

Labouring the soile, and reaping plenteous crop,

And from Rebellion shall derive his name,

Over his brethren, and quite dispossess

If Adamhtｔｐ://ｗｗw•９9lｉｂ•ｎeｔ aught perhaps might interpose;

With fair equalitie, fraternal state,

Then with transition sweet new Speech resumes. [ 5

Betwixt the world destroyd and world restord,

Thy mortal sight to faile; objects divine

And Man as from a second stock proceed.

AS one who in his journ藏书网ey bates at Noone,

Will arrogate Dominion undeservd

Oft sacrificing Bullock, Lamb, or Kid, [ 20 ]

Concord and law of Nature from the Earth,

Hunting (and Men not Beasts shall be his game) [ 30 ]

This second sours of Men, while yet but few;

Corn wine and oyle; and from the herd or flock,
