The World Is in a Desprate Plight, for Which Christ Refused to Pray
Bvt if the World be dead, God owes it not;
for of the liuing , He is God alone:
And, if not Gods , it is the Diuels Lot;
which bounded is with the chiefe Corner STONE .
From that Stone vpwards , all to God belongs;
and from it, downewards , all the Diuels is:
For, God , being iust, the Diuell neuer wrongs;
but lets him haue his due ; as He hath His .
Then, to be Gods , is still to rest thereon;
but who can rest there, that God doth not stay?
Then, sith the World refus'd this Corner Stone ,
God , for the World , refused but to pray:
O wofull World how canst thou merry be
That so forsook'st him, that so leaueth thee?
