Quare fremuerunt WHy doe the Heathen-pow'rs and people entertaine The Heathens such tumultuous rage the people plots so vaine 2 Kings of the earth conspire and Princes counsell take Against the Lord against his Christ a powerfull head to make 3 In sunder let us breake their servile bands say they Their yoke from off our neckes discharge and cast their cords away 4 But Hee in Heaven above that sits and sees their pride Shall laugh their vanities to scorne the Lord shall them deride 5 To them then shall he speake in his resistlesse ire And their affrighted soules shall feele his furie burne like fire 6 Yet mine Annointed King upon mine holy Hill Upon Mount Zion have I set I shall declare the will 7 Of which Decree the Lord hath given the charge to mee And said Thou art my Sonne this day have I begotten Thee 8 Aske I to thee will give the Heathens world of ground For thine inheritance possesse as farre as earth hath bound 9 Thou with an iron rod shalt stripe their stubborne hides Or like a Potters brittle shards in pieces dash their sides 10 Now then O Kings be wise and ye that judge the Land Be well instructed what ye judge judge what ye understand 11 Serve ye the Lord in feare in feare and joy betwixt A joyfull feare a trembling joy delight and dutie mixt 12 Embrace and kisse the Sonne lest through your cold delay His wroth contemning your contempt ye perish in the way If but a little while his anger'd patience burne For safety they that hope in Him have all a happy turne PSAL. 3.

Attendite Popule Admonitio Asaphi MY Law that I shall give in charge O ye my people heare To what my lips shall speake at large incline your heedfull eare 2 A Parable my mouth shall shew darke mysteries of old 3 What we have heard and knowne renew as have our fathers told 4 Which of the Ages sons un-borne we will conceale from none What Crownes of praise the Lord hath worne what powerfull wonders done 5 A Covenant he with Jacob strooke gave Israel a Law Wherein strait charge our fathers tooke to hold their sons in awe 6 That their Posteritie might know and learne by them alive From seed to seed rise up and sowe from sonne to sonne derive 7 On God their hopes that they might set Gods acts charactred deep Within their breast might not forget and his Commandments keep 8 Not as their fathers disobey'd a race that did rebell A race from God whose heart un-stai'd whose spirit unfaithfull fell 9 Such as the sons of Ephraim were that arm'd and bearing bow Flung downe their armes and fled for feare before the signall-blow 10 Of God the Covenant kept they not his Precepts pathes eschew'd 11 What deeds he did for them forgot what wondrous workes he shew'd 12 What wonders in their fathers sight sad proofe can Egypt yeeld Whereto though Misraim all had right most right had Zoan field 13 The sea for them did he divide and made them passage all He heap't the waters side by side to stand as wall by wall 14 A cloud all day their course to keep all night a light of fire 15 From Desert-rockes as from the Deep gave drinke at their desire 16 Swift streames out of the Rocke he brought that forth like rivers flie 17 Their sinne on sinne in Desert wrought provok't yet God Most-Hie 18 And tempting God with grudging hearts their soule requiring meat 19 Shall God said they in Desert parts on tables set to eate 20 Behold he smote the stony Rocke whence flow'd those streames afresh But can he for his peopled flocke find bread or furnish flesh 21 This heard the Lord but heard with wrath the fire that Jacob blew For this ingratefull breach of troth on faithlesse Israel slew 22 For they to God no faith had given nor his salvation trust 23 Though clouds enjoyn'd doors of Heaven lay open to their lust 24 He Manna downe on them did raine their hunger to suffice And gave them of that Heavenly graine from Garners of the skies 25 That man the Mighties Bread might eate it was his Makers will Who sent them this Celestiall meate of Angels food their fill 26 He from Heavens Nabathean mouth his East wind made to blow His power brought from Sabean South a softer gale to glow 27 He rain'd downe flesh the Desert dust to number is not more And feathred-fowle to fill their lust as sand on sea-driv'n shore 28 He made it fall his Camp throughout so bigge the cloud did swell His habitations round about the feathred-tempest fell 29 So they did eate and had their fill their lust so highly priz'd Had what they would yet not their will were cloi'd but not suffic'd 30 While yet the meat was in their mouth Gods wrath upon them came And slew the fat of all their youth the hopes of Israels name 31 This done yet sinn'd they more and more the more their God to grieve His wonders slighting as before nor would they yet beleeve 32 He therefore did consume their daies in vanitie their yeeres Not close with Ages kind decaies but crosse with hasty feares 33 On them when slaughters hand he brought then home to him retir'd Then sought him early then him sought then after God enquir'd 34 That God was then their Rocke of strength they could remember well And that the Highest God at length was their Redeemer tell 35 Yet did their mouth but faigne the while this was but flat●'ries gloze Their tongue fram'd this alluring stile these lies with him to close 36 Their heart with him was wrong within his Covenants faith forgot His mercy covered yet their sin and them corrupted not 37 How often his compassions wing could wind his wrath aside And on their heads forbeare to bring his whole displeasures tide 38 Remembring that they were but flesh a vapour whift away Whose flower may never spring refresh but once and soon decay 39 How often did they him provoke the Wildernesse can speake How often his displeasures stroke the Deserts saw him breake 40 Yet turning backe to sinne they fell and tempting God againe The Holy-One of Israel their limits would containe 41 Nor minded they his Mighty hand nor their Redemption-day When he them freed from Pharaoh's Land from bondage sent away 42 What strange designes in Egypt done what wonders Zoan-plaines All Ages wonder equall none and Memphis yet complaines 43 He turn'd their rivers into bloud that thirst it selfe did shrinke In plenty poore of Nilus floud when Egypt could not drinke 44 Devouring flies promiscuous swarmes to eate them up he sent And fenny frogs importune charmes corrupting where they went 45 He let the Caterpiller eate the fruit of all their soile And gave their labours hopefull sweat to be the Locusts spoile 46 Their Vines with haile-stones he destroi'd their Sycamores with frost 47 With haile their heards their flocks annoi'd in flames of lightning lost 48 His indignations fi'rie stripes his fury on them spent And guilty-soules tormenting gripes by evill Angels sent 49 He spared not their soule from death to weigh his angers way Made man and beast give up their breath the Pestilences prey 50 The first of all in Egypt borne unequall death prevents The Principall of strength the Horne where Cham had pitch't his Tents 51 But sorth like sheep from tempest fled he made his people passe And like a flocke in Deserts led as in deep pasture grasse 52 He led them safe and free from feare their walkes were through the waves But drown'd their foes that here and there had made the sea their graves 53 And them he to his Rocke of rest his holy Border brought This Mountaine lov'd above the best and with his right hand bought 54 Before them out the Heath'ns he cast and shar'd their lot by line Where Anak raign'd in Ages past the shields of Jacob shine 55 Ingratefull they their God Most-Hie yet tempt afresh provoke His Testimonies naught set by with them can beare no stroke 56 They turne their backes disloyall grow and flie their fathers flight So starts aside the warping bow the Archer aiming right 57 And now to grate his angry gall Hill-Altars Idoll-Groves Grav'n-Imagery whereto they fall his jealous fury moves 58 This hearing God his wrath grew hot so foule revolt to heare

must whereof our masse was made Remembers that we be but dust our Harbinger the spade 15 The daies of man as of the grasse attend the sithe of death As flower in field his flower doth passe and withreth with a breath 16 A blast of wind upon it blew and then it ceast to grow Then ceast to be and where it grew the place no more did know 17 To them the Lord is ever kind that to his feare doe cleave Them shall the childrens children find his Justice shall not leave 18 On them that to his Covenant bind their hearts observance strait And his Commandments beare in mind to practise Mercies wait 19 The Lord hath firmly for his stall in Heav'ns prepar'd his Throne His Kingdomes Scepter over all hath Soveraigntie alone 20 O ye his Angels blesse the Lord y● that in strength excell That doe his Word and of his Word attend the voices spell 21 Blesse ye the Lord all ye his Hosts his Armies at his will His Cursitors in all his coasts his pleasure to fulfill 22 All ye his workes that where he reignes all places may afford To blesse the Lord employ your paines may soule blesse thou the Lord.
