God and woulde not walke in his lawe But forgat what he had done and the wonderful workes that he had shewed for them Marueilous thinges did he in the sight of our fathers in the lande of Egipt euen in the fielde of zoan He deuided the sea and let them goe through he made the waters to stande on a heape In the daye tyme also he led them with a cloude and all the nyght through with a light of fier He claue the hard rockes in the wildernes and gaue them drynke therof as it had been out of the great depth He brought waters out of the stony rocke so that it gushed out lyke the ryuers Yet for all thys they sinned more against him and prouoked the most highest in the wildernes They tempted God in theyr heartes and required meate for theyr lust They spake agaynst God also saying shall god prepare a table in the wildernes He smote the stony rocke in dede that the water gushed out and the streames flowed withall but can he geue bread also or prouide fleshe for hys people When the Lord hearde this he was wroth so the fier was kindled in Iacob there came vp heauy displeasure against Israel Because they beleued not in God and put not theyr truste in hys helpe So he commaunded the cloudes aboue and opened the dores of heauen He rayned down Manna also vpon them for to eate and gaue them fode from heauen So man did eate Angels fode for he sente them meate enoughe He caused the East wind to blowe vnder the heauen and through hys power he brought in the Southweste wynde He rayned flesh vpon them as thicke as dust and fethered foules lyke as the sande of the sea He let it fall emong their tentes euen rounde about their habitacion So they did eate and were well filled for he gaue them theyr owne desire they were not disappoynted of theyr lust But while the meate was yet in their mouthes the heauie wrath of god came vpon them and slew the welthiest of thē yea and smote downe the chosen men that were in Israel But for al thys they sinned yet more and beleued not his wonderous workes Therfore their daies did he consume in vanitie and their yeares in trouble When he slewe them they sought hym and turned them earely and enquired after God And they remembred that God was theyr strength and that the high god was theyr redemer Neuertheles they did but flatter him with theyr mouthes and dissembled with hym in theyr tongues For theyr heart was not whole with hym neyther contynued they stedfast in his couenaunt But he was so mercifull that he forgaue theyr misdedes and destroyed them not Yea many a tyme turned he his wrath away and would not suffer his whole displeasure to aryse For he considered that they were but fleshe and that they were euen a wynde that passeth awaye and cometh not agayne Many a time did they prouoke hym in the wildernes and greued hym in the desert They turned backe and tempted god and moued the holy one in Israel They thought not of hys hande and of the daye when he delyuered them from the hand of the enemie Howe he had wrought his miracles in Egipte and hys wonders in the field of Zoan He turned theyr waters into bloud so that they mighte not drynke of the ryuers He sent lice emong them and deuoured them vp frogges to destroye them He gaue theyr fruites vnto the caterpiller and their labor vnto the grashopper He destroied theyr vines with haile stones and their mulbery trees with the frost He smote theyr cattel also with haile stones their flockes with hote thunderboltes He cast vpon them the furiousnes of hys wrath angre displeasure and trouble and sent euil Aungels among them He made a waye to his indignacion and spared not theyr soule from death but gaue theyr lyfe ouer to the Pestilence And smote all the first borne in Egipt the most principal and mightiest in the dwellynges of Ham. But as for his owne people he led thē furth lyke shepe caryed them in the wildernes lyke a flocke He brought them out safely that they should not feare ouerwhelmed theyr enemies with the sea And brought them in the borders of hys sanctuarye euen in his mountayne which he purchased with his right hand He cast out the heathen also before them caused their land to bee deuided emong them for an heritage and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in theyr tentes So they tempted and displeased the most high god kept not his testimonies But turned theyr backes and fel awaye like their forefathers startyng asyde like a broken bowe For they greued him with theyr hill altars and prouoked hym to displeasure with theyr ymages When God heard this he was wroth and toke sore dyspleasure at Israel So that he forsoke the tabernacle in Silo euen the tente that he had pitched emong them He deliuered theyr power into captiuitie and their beautie into the enemies hand He gaue his people ouer also into the sweord and was wroth with his inheritaunce The fier confumed the yong men and theyr maidens wer geuen to mariage Theyr Priestes were slayne with the sweord and there were no widdowes to make lamentacion So the Lord awaked as one out of stepe like a Giaunt refreshed with wyne He smote his enemyes in the hindre partes and put them to a perpetuall shame He refused the tabernacle of Ioseph and chose not the tribe of Ephraim But chose the tribe of Iuda euen the hyll of Sion which he loued And there he builded his temple on hie and laid the foundacion of it like the ground which he hath made continually He chose Dauid also his seruaunte and toke hym awaye from the shepe foldes As he was folowing the ewes greate with yong ones he toke him that he might fede Iacob his people Israel hys enheritaunce So he fed them with a faithfull and true heart and ruled them prudently with all hys power Deus venerunt psalm lxxix Mornīg prayer O God the Heathē are come into thy enheritaunce thy holy temple haue they defyled and made Ierusalem an heape of stones The dead bodies of thy seruauntes haue they geuen to be meate vnto foules of the ayre and the fleshe of thy sainctes vnto the beastes of the lande Theyr bloud haue they shed like water on euery side of Ierusalem and there was no man to bury them We are become an open shame to oure enemyes a verye scorne and derision vnto them that are rounde about vs. Lord how long wilt thou be angrie shal thy gelousy burne like fier for euer Power out thyne indignacion vpon the Heathē that haue not knowen thee and vpon the kyngdomes that haue not called vpon thy name For they haue deuoured Iacob laid wast his dwelling place O remember not oure olde synnes but haue mercie vpon vs and that soone for we are come to great misery Helpe vs
