Lam ["How sitts this citie, late most populous,"]


21. Reioyce o Edoms daughter, Ioyfully bee
Thou which inhabitst Hus, for vnto thee
This Cupp shall passe, And thou with Drvnckennes
Shalt fill thy selfe, And shew thy Nakednesse.

22. And then thy sinnes O Sion, shall bee spent
The Lord, will not leave thee in Banishment
Thy Sinnes O Edoms daughter, hee will see.
And for them paie thee with Captiuitie


Chapt:5:


V:1. Remember O Lord what is falne on vs
See, and Marke how, wee are reproached thus
2. For vnto Strangers our possession
Is turnd, our howses vnto Aliens gone
3. Our Mothers, are becom̅e as widdowes; wee
As Orphanes all, and with out fathers bee
4. Waters which are our owne wee drinke, and paie
And vppon our owne wood, a price they laie
5. Our Persecutours on our Necks do sitt;
They make vs travaile, and not intermitt.
6: Wee strech our hands vnto the Egiptians
To gett vs Bread, And to the Assyrians.
7. Our Fathers did these sinnes, and are no more
But wee doe beare the Sinnes, they did before
8. They are Butt Servantes which doe rule vs thus,
Yett from their hands, None would deliver vs.[CW: with]
