The Woman wHch tbou gare to me
To be ray helper . as I ihoughtj
Did eat. and alfo counfel'd me,
Which now. alas*! is dearly bought.
The Serpent falfe hath mebeguil 'di
That rebel to thy Majefty ;
Foriohaveus and oursexyl'dj
With his rebeilious company' i
That is no excufc
To leave the Lord , andufe
The counfel of thine enemi« i
Bleft freedom to refuic.
Soul and body to abufe :
P iiy, O Adam ! I pity thee :
O Adam ! poor Adam ! t pity thee.
Yet for thy fault thou puntfht jhalt be !
And in place of pleafure and eafe,
Nothing but labor fhalbetotbee :
Thy meat win wiib fweat and difeafe.
And thou, OEve.' in ftead of rairth,
And pkafant Paradice preclajr.
In gtjevous pains (ha) he thy birth .
With many a figh and groan fuil fair J
Yet from thin* enemiej
And jatam crueltie,
IwiUfurely ay fe«t thee free i
If chou wilt turn to roe.
Obey and thankful be :
Surely thou (halt be dear to me :
OAdam.' poor Adam! dear fhaltthoube.
But thou the Serpene that did go
So fliely up upon the field ;
Shal on thy belly creep alfo j
The dud (hal be thy meat and bield :
Cutfed fhalt thou be for tyec,
Enemy to the womans feed :
He (Vial prevail > but thou fhalt never}
For be (hal bruife thee on the head j
And (hal reftore again.
From death and endl efs pain,
My fenrant Dav id to be with me.
Where he fhal ay remain
With me his Sovcrain,
In joy and blefs et^nally :
OAdam.' OAdam.' thus fiialitbe.
A way went Satan moft difcontent,
Chrift being promifed for to rtign f
And metamorphos'd his intent,
Through power of htsmightie King.
Our freedom, Lord, we have from tbeet
That bowels of raerciepowredout
Uponlhy whole pofterity.
Of thy free grace wirhoutten doubt.
Therefore we all humbly
IntreatthyMsjeftie,
That Wff may ever thankful be t
And for our (ins contrite:
Prayingtothee rooftfweer,
O Jefus ! dear Jefuf ! have pity on me.
O Adam ! deat Adam ! I pity thee.
