By him with many comforts, till we end

Watering the ground, and with thir sighs the Air

Kindles the gummie bark of Firr or Pine,

Of these fair spreading Trees; which bids us seek

Of sorrow unfeignd, and humiliation meek.

Blow moist and keen, shattering the graceful locks

Immediate dissolution, which we thought

Reflected, may with matter sere foment,

Undoubtedly he will relent and turn

And teach us further by what means to shun

Watering the ground, and with our sighs the Air [ 1090 ]

Som www.99lib.netbetter shroud, som better warmth to cherish

Repairing where he judgd them prostrate fell

Or by collision of two bodies grinde

Rancor and pride, impatience and despite,

Humbly our faults, and pardon beg, with tears

My bread; what harm? Idleness had bin worse; [ 1055 ]

Before him reverent, and there confess

Repairing where he judgd us, prostrate fall

To evils which our own misdeeds have wrought, [ 1080 ]

To shew us in this Mountain, while the Winds [ 1065 ]

Th inclement 九-九-藏-书-网Seasons, Rain, Ice, Hail and Snow,

Glancd on the ground, with labour I must earne

Of sorrow unfeignd, and humiliation meek.

Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign

So spake our Father penitent, nor Eve

Against our selves, and wilful barrenness,

Beseeching him, so as we need not fear

And what may else be remedie or cure

No more be mentiond then of violence

Pains onely in Child-bearing were foretold,

When angry most he seemd and most severe, [ 1095 ]

In dust, our final rest anwww.99lib.netd native home. [ 1085 ]

Frequenting, sent from hearts contrite, in sign

Reluctance against God and his just yoke [ 1045 ]

What better can we do, then to the place

Hee will instruct us praying, and of Grace

Felt less remorse: they forthwith to the place

To pass commodiously this life, sustaind

Tine the slant Lightning, whose thwart flame drivn down [ 1075 ]

Cloathd us unworthie, pitying while he judgd;

How much more, if we pray him, will his ear [ 1060 ]

From his displeasure; in whose look九九藏书网 serene,

Or Heat should injure us, his timely care

My labour will sustain me; and least Cold

Without wrauth or reviling; wee expected

Laid on our Necks. Remember with what mild

Leave cold the Night, how we his gatherd beams [ 1070 ]

Humbly thir faults, and pardon begd, with tears

The Air attrite to Fire, as late the Clouds

And sends a comfortable heat from farr,

Fruit of thy Womb: On mee the Curse aslope

And gracious temper he both heard an九*九*藏*书*网d judgd

What else but favor, grace, and mercie shon?

Which might supplie the Sun: such Fire to use,

And bringing forth, soon recompenct with joy,

That cuts us off from hope, and savours onely

Be open, and his heart to pitie incline,

Was meant by Death that day, when lo, to thee [ 1050 ]

Justling or pusht with Winds rude in thir shock

Which now the Skie with various Face begins

Before him reverent, and both confessd [ 1100 ]

Hath unbesaught provided, and his hands

Our Limbs benummd, ere this diurnal Starr
