As it is used to be done,

a ftatute and a trade; law that must be kept full well, which Jacobs God hath made. 5 This claufe with Jofeph was decreed, when he from Egypt came : That as a witneffe all his feed,

13 And yet my people would not heare my voyce when that I fpake: And Ifrael would not obey,

but did me quite forfake.

14 Then did I leave them to their will,

To walk in their own counfels ftill,

And thou didst hide thy peoples finnes,

And so didst turne thee from thy rage,

And none can do as thou alone,
