As, after a severe storm in the morning
YOU go out, and find birds dead on The
ground, so this dead bird Of the text makes
me think of that awful storm that swept
the earth on CrucifXion day, when the
wrath of God, and the malice of man.
and the fury of devils wrestled beneath
the three crosses As we sang just now
We'll, might the sun in darkness hide,
And shut his glories in,
When Christ the mighty Maker, died
For man. the creatures sin"
But come now to speak Of this second
bird Of the text We must not let thar
fly away Until we have examined it, The
priest took the second bird, tied il to The
