Third PART

The Wicked thus doth God impeach; "What Right hast thou my Laws to teach? "Or in thy Mouth my Cov'nant take? "Tho' thou of sacred Things may'st prate; "Yet my Instruction thou do'st hate, "And cast my Word behind thy Back. "When thou did'st see a Thief, thy Care "Was to agree, and with him share; "And with Adulterers did'st join. "Thy Mouth thou gavest to Reproach, "Thy Tongue Deceit, and Lies, did broach; "And Mischief was thy chief Design. "With Joy thou wound'st thy Brother's Name, "Do'st thine own Mother's Son defame. "This thou hast done; and did'st surmise, While silent, I was like to thee; "Now thou my sharp Reproof shalt see; "I'll rank thy Sins before thine Eyes. Mark this, ye who forgetful are Of God; left I in Pieces tare, And there to save shall none be found. He honours me who offers Praise; And he, who orders right his Ways, With God's Salvation shall be crown'd.
