2. PART.

v. 5.

They are corrupt, they bring a blot
upon themselves, of foul disgrace,
Their spot is not his Childrens spot,
they are a cross and crooked race.

Requite ye thus the Lord most high
ye foolish people? Is not He
Thy Father dear that did thee buy?
hath he not made and stablisht thee?

Remember now the days of old,
the years of ages long ago,
Thy Father ask, thou shalt be told,
and ask thine Elders they shall show.

When the most high did first divide
inheritances unto men,
And separated far and wide
all Adam's Sons, as he did then:

He set the people bounds compleat,
but chiefly one that did excell
According to the Number great
of all his people Israel.
