With all his sacred things, a scorn and prey

Provoking God to raise them enemies:

But first a long succession must ensue,

The last, for of his Reign shall be no end. [ 330 ]

His Name and Office bearing, who shall quell

Meanwhile they in thir earthly Canaan plact [ 315９９ｌｉｂ•ｎet ]

And therefore shall not Moses, though of God

From whom as oft he saves them penitent

God, as to leave them, and expose thir Land,

Through the worlds wilderness long wanderd man

Irrevocable, that his Regal Throne

Long time shall dwell and prosper, but when九*九*藏*书*网 sins

A Son, the Womans Seed to thee foretold,

Left in confusion, Babylon thence calld.

Such follow him, as shall be registerd [ 335 ]

Heapt to the popular summe, will so incense

Of David (so I name this King) shall rise

For ever shall endure; the like shal九*九*藏*书*网l sing

By Judges first, then under Kings; of whom [ 320 ]

Safe to eternal Paradise of rest.

Highly belovd, being but the Minister

Part good, part bad, of bad the longer scrowle,

Foretold to Abraham, as in whom shall trust

Thir Citie, his Temple, and his holy Ark [ 340 www.99lib.net]

Whose foul Idolatries, and other faults

The adversarie Serpent, and bring back

Of Law, his people into Canaan lead;

And puissant deeds, a promise shall receive

And his next Son for Wealth and Wisdom famd,

The second, both for pietie renownd

All Nations, and to Kings foreto九九藏书网ld, of Kings

Wandring, shall in a glorious Temple enshrine.

National interrupt thir public peace,

But Joshua whom the Gentiles Jesus call, [ 310 ]

To that proud Citie, whose high Walls thou sawst

The clouded Ark of God till then in Tents

All Prophecie, That of the Royal Stock [ 325 ]
