<P>NOw in the 14. th yeare of King <HI>Hezekiah,</HI> did <HI>Senacherib</HI> King of <HI>A&s;syria,</HI> come up again&s;t all the fenced Cities of <HI>Juda,</HI> and tooke them.</P>
<P>Then <HI>Rab&s;hakeh</HI> &s;tood and cryed with a lowd voyce in the Jewes language, and &s;pake &s;aying, heare the word of the great King the King of <HI>A&s;&s;yria,</HI> thus
<PB REF="3"> &s;aith the King, Let not <HI>Hezekiah</HI> deceive you; for he &s;hall not be able to deliver you out of his hand; neither let <HI>Hezekiah</HI> make you tru&s;t in the Lord, &s;aying, The Lord will &s;urely deliver us.</P>
<P>Then came <HI>Eliakim</HI> the Son of <HI>Hilkiah,</HI> which was over the hou&s;hold, and <HI>Shebna</HI> the Scribe, and <HI>Joah</HI> the Son of <HI>A&s;aph</HI> the Recorder, to <HI>Hezekiah</HI> with their Cloaths rent, and told him the words of <HI>Rab|&s;hakeh,</HI> and it came to pa&s;&s;e that night, that the An|gell of the Lord went out and &s;mote in the Campe of the <HI>A&s;syrians,</HI> an hundred four&s;core and five thou&s;and, and when they aro&s;e early in the Morning, behold they were all dead Corps. <HI>2 Kings 18. 13, 28, 29, 30, 37, Chap. 19. 35. &amp;c.</HI></P>

<L>HEroick <HI>Chri&s;tians</HI> you doe under&s;tand,</L>
<L>That we have many Foes within our Land,</L>
<L>And 'tis a reall truth you need not doubt it,</L>
<L>As we have many in, we have more without it.</L>
<L>Witne&s;s that <HI>Sultan</HI> that in Pride declares</L>
<L>Hee is 'bove our highe&s;t, the Sun, the Moone and Stars,</L>
<L>And in the heighth of his ambitious pride</L>
<L>Speakes again&s;t CHRIST, that for poor &s;inners dy'd.</L>
<L>Comparing <HI>Mabomet,</HI> a piece of Clay</L>
<L>To him that made the World, and &s;prings the Day;</L>
<L>And boldly &s;ayes, his Sepulcher or Tower,</L>
<L>Is by his potent &s;trength now in his power:</L>
<L>His <HI>Alcaron,</HI> and all the Cheats he hath,</L>
<L>He thunders out, to weaken our &s;trong Faith.</L>
<L>His <HI>Ba&s;haws</HI> and his <HI>Ianizaries</HI> too,</L>
<L>Confirmes his haughty language to be true.</L>
<L>Likewi&s;e <HI>Vizier</HI> his &s;aucy Generall,</L>
<L>Sweares what he &s;ayes, is all Canonicall,</L>
<L>And vowes by <HI>Mahomet,</HI> now they have power</L>
<L>They will all <HI>Chri&s;tians</HI> in the world devoure.</L>
<PB N="2" REF="4">
<L>But let the&s;e Catiffes dominere and &s;weare,</L>
<L>And by your leave build ca&s;tles in the ayre:</L>
<L>Wee have a Saviour, though they count him &s;mall</L>
<L>With one word of his mouth ruines 'em all:</L>
<L>And when by them, JEHOVAH'S worke is done,</L>
<L>Hee'l make his pale three Moones, to ki&s;s his Son;</L>
<L>For if his wrath once throughly kindled be,</L>
<L>Hee'l pay 'em home for all their Bla&s;phemie.</L>
<L>In the meane time let every Chri&s;tian Prince</L>
<L>Act in his &s;pheare to lower his in&s;olence;</L>
<L>And &s;tand not now on trifles, wi&s;e men &s;ee</L>
<L>Tends not to Peace, to Love, nor Unity.</L>
<L>And really thorow Faith implore his ayd,</L>
<L>That has the Univer&s;all fabricke made:</L>
<L>Then you &s;hall &s;ee what will become of tho&s;e</L>
<L>That are our SAVIOURS, and his Servants foes.</L>
<L>And though the Church of <HI>Rome</HI> we know mu&s;t downe,</L>
<L>Being 'gain&s;t CHRIST, his Scepter and his Crowne.</L>
<L>Yet peace and joy will Coronize each one</L>

<L>The hou&s;e of <HI>Au&s;tria,</HI> that all along</L>
<L>Hath done <HI>Me&s;siah</HI> and his &s;ervants wrong,</L>
<L>His plumes will now be pluckt to let him know</L>
<L>They &s;hall be &s;afe when he &s;hall not be &s;o.</L>
<L>And when the <HI>Turke</HI> on them has his de&s;ire,</L>
<L>He'le burne in Tophet for to make a fire.</L>
<L>To reach all <HI>Rab&s;hakeh;</HI> how they proclaime,</L>
<L>Decrees 'gain&s;t <HI>Chri&s;t,</HI> and a true Chri&s;tians name;</L>
<L>And as the people of <HI>I&s;raell</HI> heretofore,</L>
<L>VVe're threat'ned by tho&s;e that now dare threat no more,</L>
<L>Even &s;o the&s;e Uipers they &s;hall under&s;tand,</L>
<L>They fight again&s;t a Power that &s;hall Command.</L>
<PB N="3" REF="4">
<L>For if the Lord of ho&s;ts doth once out-brave 'em,</L>
<L>Their three and Thirty Kingdoms, will not &s;ave 'em.</L>
<L>And though <HI>New Hau&s;ell,</HI> lately &s;urrendred bee</L>
<L>To the Giant <HI>Turke</HI> their greate&s;t Enemy,</L>
<L>Before hee goes much further hee may know,</L>
<L>That his owne Slaues may worke his owne overthrow.</L>
<L>For tho&s;e poore Captives, that for many yeares,</L>
<L>Has &s;erv'd him 'gain&s;t their will with &s;ighs and teares,</L>
<L>And in his Gallyes taken unce&s;&s;ant paines,</L>
<L>Rowing along their coa&s;ts in Iron Chaines,</L>
<L>In luring many a blow upon their back.</L>
<L>When their &s;ad hearts were ready for to crack;</L>
<L>And with their Ba&s;tinadoes on their feet,</L>
<L>Blow after blow mo&s;t cruelly doth meer.</L>
<L>Their Prayers and tears ere long will &s;ore on high,</L>
<L>To ruine him and his Con&s;piracy.</L>
<L>Now I could wi&s;h you that drinke Wine in boules,</L>
<L>For to &s;urvey the mi&s;ery of the&s;e &s;oules;</L>
<L>And you that lye upon your beds of Downe,</L>

<L>Sits downe to eat, and ri&s;es up to play,</L>
<L>And with vaine &s;ports do droll your time away;</L>
<L>Although that lenity a while forbeares</L>
<L>The&s;e ca&s;es might be ours as well as theirs,</L>
<L>Then <HI>England</HI> be not too &s;ecure for feare,</L>
<L>Though God has ble&s;t and &s;par'd us many a yeere,</L>
<L>If we too long rebell, again&s;t his Crowne,</L>
<L>Iu&s;tice at length, will fairely cut us downe.</L>
</LG>
<LG>
<HEAD>But to Conclude.</HEAD>
<L>Likewi&s;e their great Prophet that knowes no more,</L>
<L>When he may peri&s;h on the Chri&s;tian &s;hore.</L>
<PB N="4" REF="5">
<L>Then I know when <HI>Pauls</HI> Steeple will be built</L>
<L>And her faire Pinacle mo&s;t richly gilt,</L>
<L>And though <HI>Hungaria</HI> and &s;ome other Parts,</L>
<L>Suffers a while by his inhumane Darts;</L>
<L>GOD in due time, doe what his Forces can,</L>
<L>Will wound and &s;poyle this great Leviathan,</L>
<L>And hooke his no&s;trils for to make him tame,</L>
<L>And back againe retreat with griefe and &s;hame:</L>
<L>And when hee doth with horrour thus returne,</L>
<L><HI>Con&s;tantinople</HI> will in Sable mourne.</L>
</LG>
<P>Which is not only the hope, but al&s;o the beliefe of one that wi&s;hes well to all the Prote&s;tants in the Chri&s;tian world.</P>
