7. PART.
Fruits of the Earth perish or prosper as men be∣have themselves to Godward.
Psalm 107.33.
SOmetimes doth God for sins excess
Turn Rivers to a Wilderness:
And where fresh waters did abound
He turns it to a barren Ground.
34.
A delectable fruitfull Land
He turns to heath, and heaps of sand:
And so he punisheth the sin
Of wicked men that dwell therein.
35, 36.
And then again he turns and brings
The Wilderness to Water-springs:
And there he makes the hungry dwell
Cities and Towns to furnish well.
37, 38.
To sow their fields, and Vine-yards plant
To yield increase, and feel no want:
He blesseth them, they greatly thrive,
And keep their Cattel all alive.
15.
O then that people would record
The loving kindness of the Lord:
And praise him both with tongue and pen
For wonders done for sons of men.
