tribulation, and the Blood -suckers, and
Preachers, and Harlots we're much afflicted.
8. And raising their voices they said,
''Behold the honey comb of which we have
eaten has vanished, and the teats We have
sucked have become dried up. .,.

selves in mourning, and lamented the death
of him who had reigned. .:..

all those who dwelt in the land Of the South,

them perceived the malice of their hearts,
and their lying pretenses were made mani

49,. He saw, also, that from the ruin of
the Land they sought riches, and that the
chief of Devils had entered into them.
l6. And answering them he said, ''It is
written, .Trust not the Yankee when he
snifleth, nor the pedlar Of nutmegs when he
singeth Psalms" ~

26. And the Leaugers, and Contractors,
and Preachers, and Harlots went forth from
the presence Of the King sore abashed,
