Soch are now the dwellynges of the wicked, and this is ye place of him that knoweth not God.

knowe this then, yt it is God, which hath handled me so violetly, & hath compased me aboute with his scourges.

Seynge God persecuteth me, wil ye vexe me also? Haue ye not yet ynough of the trouble of my flesh?

wolde God they were graue wt an yron pene in leade or in stone.

that I shal be clothed againe with this skynne, and se God in my flesh.

The riches yt he deuoureth, shall he perbreake agayne, for God shal drawe them out of his bely.

For though ye wicked haue neuer so moch to fyll his bely, yet God shal sende his wrath vpon him, and cause his battayll to rayne ouer him:

This is the porcion that ye wicked shal haue of God, and the heretage that he maye loke for of the LORDE.

Their houses are safe from all feare, for the rodd of God doth not smyte the.

They saye vnto God: go from vs, we desyre not the knowlege of thy wayes.

How oft shal the candle of ye wicked be put out? how oft commeth their destruccion vpon them? O what sorowe shall God geue them for their parte in his wrath?

And though God saue their childre from soch sorowe, yet wil he so rewarde theselues, that they shal knowe it.

In as moch the as God hath ye hyest power of all, who can teach him eny knowlege?

Maye a man be copared vnto God in wy?dome, though he seme to himself, for to be like him?

What pleasure hath God in yt thou art rightuous? Or what doth it profite him, yt thy waies are perfecte?

Now because yt God is hyer the the heauens, & because thou seist yt the starres are so hye,

wilt thou therfore saye: Tush, how shulde God knowe? Doth his dominion reach beyonde the cloudes?

which saye vnto God: go from vs, and after this maner: Tush, what wil the Allmightie do vnto vs?

Therfore recocile the vnto God, & be content, so shal all thinges prospere wt the right well.

Then shalt thou haue thy delyte in the Allmightie, & lift vp thy face vnto God.
