yee to rauish the poore, when he hath gotten him in to his nett.

Then smyteth he, then oppresseth he & casteth downe the poore with his auctorite.

For he sayeth in his herte: Tush, God hath forgotten, he hath turned awaye his face, so yt he will neuer se it.

Wherfore shulde the wicked blaspheme God, and saye in his herte: Tush, he careth not for it?

The LORDE is kynge for euer, ye Heithen shal perish out off his londe.

But the LORDE is in his holy temple, the LORDES seate is in heauen: He cosidereth it with his eyes, his eye lyddes beholde the children of men.

The LORDE seith both the rightuous and vngodly, but who so deliteth in wickednes, him his soule abhorreth.

For the LORDE is rightuous, ad he loueth rightuousnes, his countenaunce beholdeth the thige yt is iust.

Euery man telleth lyes to his neghbor, they do but flater with their lippes and dissemble in their herte.

Euen he yt ledeth an vncorrupte life: that doth the thinge which is right, ad that speaketh the treuth from his herte.

He that geueth not his money vpon vsury, and taketh no rewarde agaynst the innocet. Who so doth these thiges, shal neuer be remoued.

Like as a lyon that is gredy of his pray, & as it were a lyons whelpe lurckynge in his denne.

So he herde my voyce out off his holy teple, & my coplaynte came before hi, yee eue into his eares.

There wete a smoke out of his nostrels, ad a cosumynge fyre out of his mouth, so yt coales were kyndled at it.

He bowed the heaues & came downe, & it was darcke vnder his fete.

He made darcknesse his pauylion rounde aboute hi, with darcke water & thicke cloudes to couer him.

At the brightnes off his presence the cloudes remoued, with hale stones & coales of fyre.
