When Hee shall take it to Himselfe for euer. Then let not feare and enuy thee surprize, When thou seest men in wealth and honnour rise, For to their graues they naught away shall beare, Nor shall their glory waite vpon them there; Yet they themselues thought happie all their dayes, For him who helps himselfe others will praise: As his forefathers all are gon before, Soe shall hee die and see the light noe more. Soe man on honnour little doth foresee, But as brute beasts doe perish, soe dies hee. [Footnote 235: 'Unto' written and the 'un' erased. G.] PSALM L. The Lord, the God of Gods, the world doth call, Euen from the sunn's vprisinge to his fall; From out of SION doth the Lord appeare, And shewes the brightnes of His beauty cleare. In trihumph, not in silence come shall Hee, His vsher fire, His guard a storme shall bee. Hee by His summons heauen and earth will call, That Hee [may][237] judge at once his creatures all. To Mee, saith Hee, let all My saints repaire, Which worshipp Mee with sacrifice and prayer; God's justice shall from heauen declarèd bee, For Who is judge of all the world but Hee? Harke ISRAELL! I am Thy God, giue eare; I will against thee speake and witnes beare. Not for the dailie taske of sacrifice, Or that burnt-offerings shine not in Mine eyes: I want them not, nor will I take at all, Goat from thy fould or bullocke from thy stall; All beasts are Mine within the forrest wide, And cattle on a thousand hills beside; I knowe all fowles which in the aire doe fly, And see all beasts which in the feild doe lye. If I were hungrie would I begg of thee, When all things in the world belong to Mee? Art thou O man, soe simple as to thinke That bulls' flesh is My meat, goats' blood My drinke?[238] [Footnote 236: The MS. begins here with 'and': but is struck out. G.] [Footnote 237: I have filled in 'may' as evidently overlooked, and as it is the word of the prose version: a later hand has written 'will' and another 'for' in the place of 'That.' G.]
