Lo, he smote the stony rocke, that the watery streames gusshed out, and the streames flowed withall: but how can he geue bred and prouyde flesh for his people?

He rayned downe Manna vpo them for to eate, and gaue them bred from heauen.

Then ate they angels fode, for he sent them meate ynough.

So they ate & were fylled, for he gaue them their owne desyre. They were not dispoynted of their lust.

But for all this they synned yet more, and beleued not his woderous workes.

For their herte was not whole with him, nether continued they in his couenaunt.

For he considered yt they were but flesh: euen a wynde that passeth awaye, and commeth not agayne.

But as for his owne people, he led them forth like shepe, and caried them in the wyldernesse like a flocke.

He dyd cast out the Heithen before them, caused their londe to be deuyded amonge them for an heretage, and made ye tribes of Israel to dwell in their tetes.

For all this they tempted and displeased the most hye God, and kepte not his couenaunt.

He gaue his people ouer in to the swerde, for he was wroth with his heretage.

LORDE, how longe wilt thou be angrie? shal thy gelousy burne like fyre for euer?

For they haue deuoured Iacob, and layed waiste his dwellinge place.

O remebre not oure olde synnes, but haue mercy vpon vs (& that soone) for we are come to greate mysery.

Helpe vs (O God or Sauyor) for ye glory of yi name: o delyuer vs, & forgeue vs or synnes for yi names sake.

And for the blasphemy wher wt or neghbours haue blasphemed ye, rewarde the (o LORDE) seuefolde in to their bosome. So we yt be yi people & shepe of thy pasture, shal geue the thankes for euer, & wil allwaye be shewinge forth thy prayse more & more.

Thou maydest rowme for it, & caused it to take rote, so yt it fylled the lode.

Manteyne it, that thy right hode hath plated, & the sonne whom thou maydest so moch of for thy self.

For why? it is bret with fyre, & lyeth waist: o let the perishe at the rebuke of thy wrath.

Let thy honde be vpon the man of thy right honde, & vpon the man who thou maydest so moch off for thine owne self.
