008.CJ2.HE1 Vppon A Chayne.|.
008.CJ2.001 Not that in Collour it is like thye hayre:
008.CJ2.002 for armelets of that, thou mayst let me weare;
008.CJ2.003 nor that thy hande it oft imbrac'd & kist,
008.CJ2.004 for soe it had the good, w%5ch%6 ofte I mist,
008.CJ2.005 nor for that selly ould Morallytie,
008.CJ2.006 that as those linckes are tied our loues should bee
008.CJ2.007 mourne I, that I, thy seauen fould Chayne haue lost:
008.CJ2.008 nor for the luckes sake, but the bitter cost,
008.CJ2.009 oh shall twelue righteous Angells w%5ch%6 as yet;
008.CJ2.010 noe levin of vile sodar, did admitt,
008.CJ2.011 nor yet by any taynte haue stray'd or gone,
008.CJ2.012 from the first state of their Creation,
008.CJ2.013 Angells which heauen Commaunded to prouid
008.CJ2.014 all things to me, & be my faythfull guide;
008.CJ2.015 to gaine neare frends, t'appease great enymies,
008.CJ2.016 to Comforte my sowle, when I lye or ryse.|.
008.CJ2.017 shall these twelue inocents by thy seveare,
008.CJ2.018 sentence (dread Judge) my sinnes great burden beare,
008.CJ2.019 shall they bee damn'd in the furnace throwne;
008.CJ2.020 and punisht, for offences not their owne;
008.CJ2.021 they saue not me they dooe not ease my paynes,
008.CJ2.022 When in that hell the'ar burnt & tyed in Chaynes,
008.CJ2.023 were they but Crownes of ffrance I Cared not,
008.CJ2.024 for most of them, ther natiue Cuntry rott;
008.CJ2.025 I thincke possible they come hear to vs,
008.CJ2.026 so leane, so pale, so lame, so ruinovs,
008.CJ2.027 and how soere ffrench Kings, most christian bee;
008.CJ2.028 their Crownes are circumsisd most Jewishlye;
008.CJ2.029 or wear they Spanish stampes, still travellinge,
008.CJ2.030 that wer become as Catholike as their Kinge;
008.CJ2.031 those vnlickt beare whelpes, vnfild pistolets,
008.CJ2.032 that more then Cannon shott auayles or letts;
008.CJ2.033 which negligently >lefte vnrownded looke;
008.CJ2.034 like many Angled figues in y%5e%6 booke;
008.CJ2.035 of some greate Conivror, w%5ch%6 would inforce:
008.CJ2.036 nature as these doe Justice from her Course;
008.CJ2.037 w%5ch%6 as the sowle quickenes, heade feete & harte;
008.CJ2.038 as streames like vaines rune through y%5e%6 earth's each parte;
008.CJ2.039 vnfitt all cuntries, and haue sleylie made,
008.CJ2.040 gorgious Fraunce ragged, ruyned and decay;
008.CJ2.041 Scotland y%5t%6 knew noe state, proued in one day;
008.CJ2.042 A mangled seaventenn headed Belgia.x.|.
008.CJ2.043 or were it such gould as y%5t%6 wher with all;
008.CJ2.044 all mightye Chimickes from each minerall;
008.CJ2.045 hauinge by subtill fire a soule out pulld,
008.CJ2.046 are durtelye and desperatlye guld;
008.CJ2.047 I would not spitt to quench the fyre the'are in;
008.CJ2.048 for they are guiltye of mutch heynous sinne;
008.CJ2.049 but shall my harmelesse Angelles perish all;
008.CJ2.050 I loose my guard, my foode, my ease, my all;
008.CJ2.051 much hoope w%5ch%6 they should norish will bee deade;
008.CJ2.052 much of my able youth, and lustye head;
008.CJ2.053 Would perish then, loue me let them aloone;
008.CJ2.054 for thou wilte loue me lesse, when they are gone;
008.CJ2.055 oh bee Contente that some lowde squeakinge cryer;
008.CJ2.056 well pleasd w%5th%6 one leane thridbare groate for hire;
008.CJ2.057 May like a Devill roare through every streete;
008.CJ2.058 and gall the finders, Conscience if they meete;
008.CJ2.059 or let me Crepe to some dread Coniuror;
008.CJ2.060 w%5ch%6 with fantastick sceanes fills full much paper,
008.CJ2.061 Who haue diuided heauen in tenement's;
008.CJ2.062 And w%5th%6 whores, theeues, and Murtherers stuff his rentes;
008.CJ2.063 soe full that though hee passe them all in sinne,
008.CJ2.064 he leaues him selfe noe roome to enter in;
008.CJ2.065 and if when all his arte and tyme is spente;
008.CJ2.066 hee sayes t'will nere bee founde, oh bee contente.|.
008.CJ2.067 Receiue the doome from him vngrudginglye;
008.CJ2.068 because he is the mouth of destenye:

008.CJ2.070 though it bee Chang'd and put into a Chayne;
008.CJ2.071 soe in those first fallinge Angells resteth still;
008.CJ2.072 wisdome and knowledge, but t'is turnd to ill;
008.CJ2.073 as these should bee good workes & should provid.
008.CJ2.074 Necessities, but now must nurse thy pride,
008.CJ2.075 and they are still bad Angells myne are none,
008.CJ2.076 for forme giues beeinge & thir forme is goone,
008.CJ2.077 pittye these Angells yet their dignityes,
008.CJ2.078 passe virtues powers and Principallities;
008.CJ2.079 but thou art resolute thy will bee doone,
008.CJ2.080 Yet with such anguish as hir onely sonne,
008.CJ2.081 the Mother in the hungrey graue doth laye,
008.CJ2.082 and to the fire theis martirs I betraye;
008.CJ2.083 good soules for you giue life to every thinge,
008.CJ2.084 good Angells, for good messages you bringe,
008.CJ2.085 Destin'd might you haue ben to such a one,
008.CJ2.086 that would haue lou'd, and worshipt you a lone;
008.CJ2.087 one would haue suffred hunger nakednesse,
008.CJ2.088 nay death ere hee would make you nomberlesse;
008.CJ2.089 but I ame guilty of your sad decaye,
008.CJ2.090 May your fayer fellowes longer w%5th%6 me staye.|.
008.CJ2.091 But oh thou wreched finder, whom I hate;

008.CJ2.094 may my most heauye Curse vppon the fall;
008.CJ2.095 here fettred manacld and hang'd in chaynes:
008.CJ2.096 first mayest thou be, then chayn'd to hellish paynes,
008.CJ2.097 or be with forren gould bribd to betraye,
008.CJ2.098 thy Cuntry & fayle both of that and thy praye,
008.CJ2.099 May the next thinge thou stoop'st to reach contayne,
008.CJ2.100 poyson whose nimble fume rotte thy moyst braine;
008.CJ2.101 or libells for some interdicted thinge,
008.CJ2.102 Which negligently kepte thy ruine bringe;
008.CJ2.103 lust bread diseases rott the and dwell w%5th%6 the,
008.CJ2.104 itchinge desire and noe abillitye;
008.CJ2.105 may all the hurte y%5t%6 ever gould hath wrought,
