Against false Prophets,
and deceitful teachers.
O God that guid'st that faithful flock,and leadst it by thine hand,That gau'st it water of thy rockin drie Arabia land.Giue grace to vs to flie the men,that teach thy word awry;Of whō thy son forewarnd vs whēhe did their sleights espie.
He did foresee hypocrisieshould lurk in godly weed,And wolues in sheeplike tyre to lieand on thy sheepe to feed.The subtile serpent shroudes his wilesattyrde like Angel bright.And false Apostles fraught with guiles.do counterfeit the light▪
The man of sin that sits on hie,with triple crowne on pate,
descriptionPage 57
And lifts his leudnes to the skie,holds sauing Christ in hate.He sends his subtil sots by swarmsthrough all the world: to winThy childrē pure by wicked charmsto draw their soules to sin.
Keepe vs thy children Lord, there∣fore,direct vs by thy grace,That their inchantmentes may no moreour zeale sincere defaceAnd let thy truth be stil our guide,that we thereby may knowTheir falshood, who do start aside,and flie the subtill foe.
