A12742	Loves revenge VVherein is briefly shewed from the historie of the holy scripture, the rising, grouth, and finall fall of the man of sinne; with the long and continuall strife betwixt the two seeds, how they have, from time to time, sought to disinherite each other: and how that Christ, by his righteous life, and long sufferings, in the end shall get the victory, and justly revenge himself upon his adversarie. Omnia vincit amor, & c. By Ios. Speed.	Speed, Joshua.	1631 (1631)	STC 23050; ESTC S101712	43,323	144

What God hath promised in troth To Abrahams posterity And hath confirmed by an oath That cannot fail God cannot lie Then Isaac dead and Jacob slain No seed but Esau is to reigne Should I do this and Jsaac live In vain my labour would be spent God would him strength and courage give My wicked purpose to prevent And raise him seed in Iacob's stead Although Rebekahs wombe were dead Have I not once before been crost When I did think my self most sure Then Ishmael his birth-right lost God did old Abraham procure Another seed which then was bred In Sarahs wombe decaid and dead Revenge applauded this for good But hatred overcome with rage Could not contein her angry mood Nor could her passions asswage Her soul was ready to depart Vntill her tongue had eas'd her heart Thus was his project overthrown By trusting of his secret friend This rumour soon abroad was blown What mischief Esau did intend Which comming to Rebekahs eare The losse of both her sonnes did fear Wherefore she then without delay Call'd Iacob in her youngest sonne Sent him to Haran there to stay Vntill his brothers rage were done And Iacob willing to obey Receiv'd his charge and went his way As darknesse doth pursue the light And constantly his course doth run So doth the day expell the night At the arising of the Sunne Each one doth chase each one doth flie Till light at length gets victory Darknesse did claim the highest right Because he was the first in place But God did soon beget true light Proud darknesse from the earth to chase And that the day might bring to light What darknes had wrought in the night Darknesse betrothed was to lust Which did conceive beguiling sinne Who being born mans soul with rust Was cankred foul and eaten in Man scarcely had received breath But man was subject unto death But light took faith to be his wife Which did conceive unfained love Who being born abandon'd strife Did darknesse daunt and sinne reprove Bondage renounce and death affright And brought eternall life to light The Serpents craft his crown did gain By craft he made the woman fall The woman by her craft again Did thrust the Serpent out of all By craft he won by craft he lost Thus craft by craft was ever crost The Serpents seed by cruelty Did seek his crown for to maintain The womans seed as cruelly In time shall thrust him out again When bloud doth flow up to the brink Then bloud for bloud shall be his drink But once again for to return The Serpents malice to relate Who did through rage and fury burn To execute his deadly hate And did the shadow hunt and chase Vntill the substance came in place At him it was that he did aim At him which should his seed advance At him which did by promise claim True Canaans inheritance Could he bring him unto his fall The Serpent then was lord of all In time the substance did appear This Isaac was Gods onely sonne Which came to shed his bloud most dear To lose the works which sinne had done His life eternall life did win His death destroy and vanquish sinne The Wisemen from the East did spring When they did see his starre appear For to be hold this blessed King And worship him in love and fear And did enquire of the Iews To know where they should finde this news But Herod taking it in scorn Perceiving it for to be true The star did shew a King was born He called all the learned crue This King which shall subdue the earth Quoth he where shall he have his birth At Beth-lehem they did reply In Davids house he must arise According to the prophesie This hearing he did call the wise And sent them there to seek about Vntill that they had found him out When you have found him come and tell Me where he is that I may go And worship him I know it well This King is borne it must be so His star will go before your face Vntill you come unto the place These men they went as Herod told They found the babe and did him greet They did present incense and gold And did fall down before his feet But being warned of this thing They went not back unto the king But did return another way Vnto the place where they did dwell Which Herod hearing left delay And calling murder out of hell This cruell bloudy Edomite Did seek to cut off David's right David quoth he did Ioab send To trample Edom under foot And slay his males ev'n to the end And leave him neither branch nor root He thought he would not leave him one For to uphold his fathers throne But Hadad being then a childe Escaped David's tyranny And Ioab also was beguild For Hadad did to Aegypt flie Where he did finde a dwelling place For to preserve our kingly race This Hadad did escape alone Of all the kings posterity But Herod will leave David none He now shall prove my tyranny I le lay his males all at my foot And leave him neither branch nor root With that he sent his Horsemen out To execute his full command At Beth-lehem and there about All males to murder out of hand Even all from two years old and under Must feel the rage of Herod's thunder But Ioseph warned in the night This Persecutor then beguil'd And into Aegypt took his flight With Mary and this tender Childe There to preserve this Infants breath Vntill this cruell Tyrants death This Childe escap't the Tyrants rage For he was manifest to none Till he was thirty years of age And then baptized was of Iohn For John was sent to make him known Though not received of his own When he out of the water went Then presently faith hope and love Which God from heav'n unto him sent Came down upon him like a Dove This Spirit kept him from all evill When he was tempted of the Devill Twise twenty daies and nights arow He then did fast no more nor lesse And did to extream hunger grow Who being in the wildernesse A desolate and barren place Began to wail his wofull case And to his father he did cry Oh help me out of this distresse And suffer not thy sonne to dye For hunger in this wildernesse Let not my soul be overthrown Father thou know'st I am thine own When Ishmael did heare this cry As he was shooting in that place He did imagine presently This sure is he for whose disgrace I and my mother heretofore Were both of us thrust out of dore I was deprived of my right And brought into this wildernesse Where hunger did my soul affright And I did lie in great distresse Which did augment my mothers grief Till God from heav'n did send relief Now he is come into my case Hunger doth make him now complain Now will I mock him to his face And get my birth-right once again With meat I will delude his eye But keep him fasting till he
