ESAU. It must now be thus; but when I shall Jacob find, I shall then do as God shall put into my mind. __Enter_ ISAAC _and_ MIDO _with_ REBECCA. REBECCA. He hath at my word remitted all his quarrel. ISAAC. Forsooth! love him the better a great deal. And if he be here, I would commend his doing. ESAU.[289] All prest here, father, to tarry on your coming. ISAAC. Son Esau, thou hast thyself well acquitted, That all quarrel to Jacob thou hast remitted. It was the Lord's pleasure that it should thus be, Against whose ordinance to stand is not for thee: But now, to the intent it may please the Lord, To knit your hearts one day in a perfect concord, We shall first in a song give laud unto His name, And then with all gladness within confirm the same. REBECCA. As ye think best, dear husband, I agree thereto. ESAU. Me ye may command to what ye will have me to do: And so may ye do also Ragan my man. ISAAC. I see none; but praise we the Lord the best we can, Call forth all our household, that with one accord We may all with one voice sing unto the Lord. [_Ragan calleth all to sing_. _This song must be sung after the prayer. O Lord, the God of our father Abraham, How deep and unsearchable are thy judgments! Thy almightiful hand did create and frame Both heaven and earth, and all the elements. Man of the earth thou hast formed and create; Some do thee worship, and some stray awry, Whom pleaseth thee, thou dost choose or reprobate, And no flesh can ask thee wherefore or why? Of thine own will thou didst Abraham elect, Promising him seed as stars of the sky, And them as thy chosen people to protect, That they might thy mercies praise and magnify. Perform thou, O Lord, thine eternal decree To me and my seed, the sons of Abraham; And whom thou hast chosen thine own people to be, Guide and defend to the glory of thy name_. FINIS. [_Then entereth the Poet, and the rest stand still till he have done_.
