The second parte.
Set thou the wicked ouer him, to haue the vpper hand: At his right hand eke suffer thou, his hatefull foe to stand. When he is iudged, let him then, condemned be therin: And let the prayer that he makes, be turned into sinne.
Few be his dayes, his charge also, let thou an other take, His children let be fatherles, his wyfe a wydow make: Let his ofspring be vagabundes, to begge and seke theyr bread, wandring out of the wasted place, where erst they haue ben fed.
Let couetous extorcionet, catch all his goods and store, And let the straungers spoyle the frutes of all his toyle before. Let there be none to pitie him, let there be none at all: That on his children fatherles, will let their mercye fall.
And so let his posteritie, for euer be destroyed: Their name out blotted in the age, that after shall succed.

Let not his fathers wickednes, from Gods remembrance fall, And let thou not his mothers sinne, be done away at all.
But in the presence of the Lorde, let them remayne foray, That from the earth their memorye, he may cut cleane away. Sith mercye he forgat to shew, but did pursue with spite: The troubled man and sought to slay, the woefull harted wight.
