The third part.

[verse 26] His faithfull servant Moses then, and Aaron whom he chose; He did command to them to go, his message to disclose. [verse 27] The message of his fearfull signes to Egypt they did shew; And in the cursed land of Ham his wonders great and new.

[verse 28] Darknesse upon them he did send, and dark he made thier day; [verse 29]

And his command and mighty word his creatures did obey. [verse 30] He turn'd their waters into bloud, he did their fishes slay; Their land brought Frog•…•… even in the place where their King Pharaoh lay.

[verse 31] He spake, and at his voice there came great swarmes of noisome Flies; And all the quarters of their land were fill'd with crawling Lice. [verse 32] In stead of mild and fruitfull raine, upon them baile he sent; And with the haile-affrighting flames of fire consuming went.

[verse 33] He smote their vines, he smote the trees, whereon their sigs did grow: Yea, •…•…e the trees within their coasts did break and overthrow. [verse 34] He spake the word and at his word Locusts increased there; And Caterpillers numberlesse among them creeping were.

[verse 35] And these within their fruitfull land all the green herbs did eat; And these the fruits growne in their ground, devoured for their meat. [verse 36] The first-begotten in their land the Lord with death did smite; Yea, the beginning and the chiefe of all their strength and might.

[verse 37] With gold & silver he them brought from Egypt land to passe;

And in the number of their Tribes no feeble one there was. [verse 38] Egypt was glad, and joyfull then, when they did thence depart: For terrour, and the feare of them was fall'n upon their heart.
