    No more bbr></abbr>be mentiond then of violence

    Against our selves, and wilful barrenness,

    That cuts us off from hope, and savours onely

    Rancor and pride, impatiend despite,

    Reluce against God and his just yoke [ 1045 ]

    Laid on our Necks. Remember with what mild

    And gracious temper he both heard and judgd

    Without wrauth or reviling; wee expected

    Immediate dissolut?ion, which we thought

    Was meant by Death that day, when lo, to thee [ 1050 ]

    Pains onely in Child-bearing were foretold,

    And bringing forth, soon repenct with joy,

    Fruit of thy Womb: Ohe Curse aslope

    Glan the ground, with labour I must earne

    My bread; what harm? Idleness had bin worse; [ 1055 ]

    My labour will sustain me; a Cold

    Or Heat should injure us, his timely care

    Hath unbesaught provided, and his hand藏书网s

    Cloathd us unworthie, pitying while he judgd;

    How much more, if we pray him, will his ear [ 1060 ]

    Be open, and his heart to pitie ine,

    And teach us further by what means to shun

    Th i Seasons, Rain, Ice, Hail and Snow,

    Whiow the Skie with various Face begins

    To shew us in this Mountain, while the Winds [ 1065 ]

    Blow moist and keen, shattering the graceful locks

    Of these fair spreading Trees; which bids us seek

    Som better shroud, som better warmth to cherish

    Our Limbs benummd, ere this diurnal Starr

    Leave cold the Night, how we his gatherd beams [ 1070 ]

    Reflected, may with matter sere foment,

    Or by collision of two bodies grinde

    The Air attrite to Fire, as late the Clouds

    Justling or pusht with Winds rude in thir shock

    Tihe slant Lightning, whose thwart flame drivn down [ 1075 ]

    Kihe gummie bark of Firr or Pine,

    And sends a fortable heat from farr,

    Which might supplie the Sun: such Fire to use,

    And what may else be remedie or cure

    To evils which our own misdeeds have wrought, [ 1080 ]

    Hee will instruct us praying, and of Grace

    Beseeg him, so as we need not fear

    To pass odiously this life, sust<s>?99lｉb?</s>aind

    By him with many forts, till we end

    In dust, our final rest and native home. [ 1085 ]

    What better  we do, then to the place

    Repairing where he judgd us, prostrate fall

    Before him reverent, and there fess

    Humbly our faults, and pardon beg, with tears

    Watering the ground, and with hs the Air [ 1090 ]

    Frequenting, sent from hearts trite, in sign

    Of sorrow unfeignd, and humiliation meek.

    Undoubtedly he will relent and turn

    From his displeasure; in whose look serene,

    When angry most he seemd and most severe, [ 1095 ]

    What else but favrace, and mercie shon?

    So spake our Father pe, nor Eve

    Felt less remorse: they forthwith to the place

    Repairing where he judgd them prostrate fell

    Before him reverent, and both fessd [ 1100 ]

    Humbly thir faults, and pardon begd, with tears

    Watering the ground, and with thir sighs the Air

    Frequenting, sent from hearts trite, in sign

    Of sorrow unfeignd, and humili<big></big>ation meek.
