Out of thy loyns; th unjust the just hath slain, [ 455 ]
A sweatie Reaper from his Tillage brought
The others not, for his was not sincere;
Smote him into the Midriff with a stone [ 445 ]
O Teacher, some great mischief hath befalln [ 450 ]
That beat out life; he fell, and deadly pale
First Fruits,九九藏书网 the green Eare, and the yellow Sheaf, [ 435 ]
Th excepted Tree, nor with the Snake conspird,
Will be avengd, and th others Faith approvd
New reapt, the other part sheep-walks and foulds;
Loose no reward, though here thou see him die,
Much at that sight was Adam in his heart
Choicest and behttp://www.99lib.netst; then sacrificing, laid
Is Pietie thus and pure Devotion paid?
Unculld, as came to hand; a Shepherd next
On the cleft Wood, and all due Rites performd. [ 440 ]
For envie that his Brothers Offering found
His Offring soon propitious Fire from Heavn
T whom Michael thus, hee also movdｈttp://wwｗ.99lib.net, replid.
The Inwards and thir Fat, with Incense strewd,
In some to spring from thee, who never touchd [ 425 ]
Consumd with nimble glance, and grateful steame;
His eyes he opnd, and beheld a field,
To that meek man, who well had sacrificd;
From Heavn acceptance; but the bloodie Fact
Th effects 99lib.netwhich thy original crime hath wrought
Part arable and tilth, whereon were Sheaves [ 430 ]
More meek came with the Firstlings of his Flock
Whereat hee inlie ragd, and as they talkd,
Dismaid, and thus in haste to th Angel crid.
Alas, both for the deed and for the cause!
Rowling in dust and gore. To which ourwｗｗ•９9ｌｉｂ.ｎｅt Sire. [ 460 ]
Corruption to bring forth more violent deeds.
Nor sinnd thy sin, yet from that sin derive
Adam, now ope thine eyes, and first behold
Rustic, of grassie sord; thither anon
These two are Brethren, Adam, and to come
Ith midst an Altar as the Land-mark stood
Groand out his Soul with gushing bloud effusd.
