ken from us. y
4. Burning for burning, wound for
wound, stripe for stripe, have been dealt out
unto us. +" 81.
5. ''The bondman and the bondwoman
have been set free, our vineyards have been
laid desolate, our fields have become prey
to the destroyer.
6. "The lowing of our kin is heard no
more in the pleasant valleys nor the bleat-
ing of our sheep from the hill tops
7. "Our homes have been made food for
the flames, our treasures have vanished as
the mists of the morning
8. ''Our fine linens, and purple, and prec-
ious stones, and vessels of gold and of silver,

I shall hold you harmless at the hands Of
the Heavenly Hyena-"
10. 'The howlings of the Parsons shall be
as empty wind they shall be as toothless
dogs"
% ''They are derE, and not men; their
hearts are full of cruelty and corruption. -
2I. with the Hate with which they pro
voked war, are they filed; they are not glut
ted with the shedding of much blood.
%. They have despised the Covenant
they have trodden under their feet the law y

hated Justice and Mercy in the hour of thei

come corrupt, as dead duck he stinketh. >
80 And Thaddeus, hearing these things
going forth shook the dust from his hoof, a
testimony against the King and the peo
