THE PARAPHRASIS.

1 O Lord, thou hast manie times shewed thy selfe merciful to the inhabitants of thy land: & thou hast restored the posteritie of Iacob, from most miserable bondage, vnto libertie.

2 Thou hast taken awaie the iniquitie of thy peo∣ple, thou hast couered al their sinnes.

3 Thou hast put awaie al thy wrath, thou hast suppressed thy wrath, I saie, that it should not vtter∣lie flame foorth.

4 Continue now therefore, ô God our deliuerer, to change our miserable condition, and command thy wrath wholie to depart.

5 I praie thee, wilt thou be angrie for euer? and wilt thou continue thy wrath vnto al ages?

6 Wilt thou not rather restore vs to life againe? and giue vs occasion againe to praise thee with great gladnes?

7 Ah Lord! graunt that thy mercie may appeare vnto vs, and that we being deliuered, may haue ex∣perience of thy great benignitie.

8 But why should I vse manie words vnto God? surelie it is better diligentlie to heare what God our Lord answereth vnto me. For I nothing doubt, but he wil answere most gentlie, and promise al prosperitie to that his people, towards whome it hath alwaie pleased him to vse so great liberali∣tie, that they being admonished may be wise here∣after.

9 For although al things seeme desperate, deli∣uerance is not far off from them that worship him, and that time is neere, when our land, now lieng in miserie, shal recouer her former beautie.

10 For the mercie of God shal shine vnto vs, to whom also his truth shal ioine in societie. Further∣more, iustice and peace, another noble match, mee∣ting together with mutual imbraceings, shal re∣ceiue one another.

11 Then the minds of men being changed againe from infidelitie vnto faithfulnes, truth comming downe from heauen shal appeare in earth, which the spirit of righteousnes shal make fruitful from aboue.

12 So wil it come to passe, that the Lord wil powre out al kind of good things vpon vs: and the earth shal bring foorth her fruits abundantlie.

13 Finallie, al things shal be done in most due manner and order, and euerie man shal frame his manners after the rule appointed of God.
