The Authors Epigram.
MOst gentle Father, tender hearted God,
What mother like thee could forbear the rod?
Thou dost in bowels of compassion yern,
When we run from thee, and will not returne.
Shall we then, desperate we, without remorse,
Run headlong still in a rebellious course?
Can any childe those pearly drops despise
Who sees the tears stand in his fathers eyes?
Oh senslesse creatures, silly children right
Who, having goe out of our fathers sight,
Doe thinke our selves then most secure, when we,
Poore infants, then in greatest danger be.
In greatest danger, it must needs be so,
When we lye open to the greatest foe.
The heavy sequels are full sad, bewraying
The wofull dangers of a wilfull straying.
