pride There floats the bard Steed with his Rider drownd Whose foot in his caparison is cast Who late with sharpe spurs did his Courser wound Himselfe now ridden with his strangled beast The waters conquer without helpe of hand For them to take for which they neuer toile And like a Quarrie cast them on the land As those they slew they left to them to spoile In eightie eight at Douer that had beene To view that Nauie like a mighty wood Whose 〈◊〉 swept Heauen might eas'lie there haue seene How puissant Pharaoh perish'd in the floud What 〈◊〉 a conquest strictiy they did keepe Into the channell presently was pour'd Castilian riches scattered on the deepe That Spaines long hopes had 〈◊〉 deuour'd Th' afflicted English rang'd along the Strand To waste what would this threatning power betide Now when the Lord with a victorious hand In his high iustice scourg'd th' Iberian pride Hence three dayes march to Mara leades them on Where Surs wilde Desarts as the Armie past Seemed as from their presence to haue flowne The mountaines stood so miserably agast Where for with drought they hardly are bested And the soule waters bitter as the gall That they should through this wildernesse be led To thanklesse murm'ring presently they fall God pointeth Moyses to a precious tree Whose medc'nall branches cast into the lake Of that rare vertue he approu'd to be The waters sweet and delicate to make Not that his hand stands any way in neede Of mediate meanes his purposes to bring But that in state his wisedome will proceede To shew his power in euery little thing Nor Metaphysickes fully him confine All measuring so immeasurably great That doth in Nature euery cause combine This ALL in him so amply hath receate Which might haue learn'd them in this helpelesse case With tribulations willingly to meete When men with patience troubles doe embrace How oftentimes it makes affliction sweete And his free bountie fully now they found As they from Mara for mount Sina made Pitching in Elim in that plenteous ground Of pleasant fountaines and delicious shade But as at Sur so they againe at Sin Before of thirst of hunger now complaine Wishing they might in Egypt still haue bin Where neuer famine all their time did raigne When clouds of Quailes from the Arabian shore Vpon the Campe immediately are sent Which came so long and in such marulous store That with their flight they smother'd euery Tent This glads the Eu'ning each vnto his rest With soules euen sated with these dainty Cates And the great goodnesse of the Lord confest That in like measure each participates The morne strewes Manna all about the host The meate of Angels 〈◊〉 to refresh Candying the fresh grasse as the Winters frost Neuer such bread vnto so dainty flesh O Israel pampred with this heauenly food Which else to Nations earthly he denies To raise thy spirits to rectifie thy Blood With these so rare celestiall purities Then the fat flesh-pots they so much desire Whereon in Egypt gluttoning they fed When they came hungry home from carrying mire Which onely dulnesse and grosse humours bred Yet in the sweetnesse and th' abundant store His power not so conclusiuely exprest But who tooke most not capable of more Then in his Gower he that gathered least By night corrupting each day gath'ring new But for the Sabbath what they did prouide That day descended not that heauenly dewe That as that day was onely sanctifide Thence through those Desarts desolate and drie They reach to Raph'dom where as they should passe There was not found a fountaine farre nor nie Such want of water euery where there was Thither the Lord by Moyses did them bring His force the faithlesse Israelites might know For euen in the impossiblest thing He most delights his wondrous might to show Farre worse than Mara is this fruitlesse soile For there were waters bitter though they were But here are none though sought with ne're such toile That they from murm'ring longer not forbeare Commanding Moyses he should take the Rod Wherewith in Egypt he such wonders wrought For that most wise that secret-seeing God Saw there were some thus reasoned in their thought The misterie of that miraculous wand He did to plagues and fearefull things imply That Aaron yet ne're tooke it in his hand When worke of mercy was atchieu'd thereby Therefore bids Moyses to this high intent The same to vse they visibly might see That this which erst had beene the instrument Of iustice so of clemencie to be Which with a blow the Cleeues in sunder crackt As with an earthquake violently rent Whence came so strong and rough a Cataract That in the stones wore gutters as it went The Springs spout forth such plenty that withall Downe the slope sides it violently swept So diuers wayes so various in the fall Through euery cranny the cleare water crept In Pailes Kits Dishes Basons Pinboukes Bowles Their scorched bosomes merrily they baste Vntill this very howre their thirstie soules Neuer touch'd water of so sweet a taste Scarcelie susfic'd but in the very neck Of this 't is bruted by the watchfull post That the neere-bordring enuious Amaleck Was marching towards them with a mighty host When he forth Iosua from the rest doth draw A man selected of couragious spirit Which Moyses with propheticke eye foresaw Should be the man his roome that should inherit Commanding him to muster out of hand And draw his forces presently to head Against that proud Amalakite to stand Which in the field a puissant Armie led Whilst on rocke Horeb with erected hand Bearing the Rod vp to the glorious skie Twixt Hur and Aaren Amrams sonne doth stand Whilst both the hosts for victorie doe trie When blades are brandish'd and the fight begun Warres thundring horror trumpets doe proclaime With the reflection of the radiant Sunne Seemes to beholders as a generall flame Much courage and dexteritie that day On either part sufficiently is showne And on the earth full many a Souldier lay Thrusting through danger to make good his owne Here men might see how many a strenuous guide Striueth to make his enemie to 〈◊〉 Now the fierce vaward then the rere ward plide As he perceiueth the Battalians neede They fight the full day he the Rod vpheld But when his strength by long continuing failes Where as before the Israelites had queld The 〈◊〉 proud Amalakite preuailes Whilst the two Hebrewes prouident of harmes Setting graue Moses downe vpon a stone And by their force support his wearied 〈◊〉 Vntill the foe was lastly ouerthrowne Iethro the iust to whom report had told Th'atchieuement wrought by his renowned sonne That all the world did tributary hold By deeds in Egypt God by him had done This good old man to consummate their ioyes In happy houre his sonne is come to see Bringing his wife and his two little Boyes Moses sent back in Midian sase to bee Which by this time two proper Youthes are growne Bred by their
