““  Yet somtimes Nations will decline so low   From vertue, which is reason, that no wrong,   But Justice, and some fatal curse annext   Deprives them of thir outward libertie,   Thir inward lost: Witness th' irreverent Son   Of him who built the Ark, who for the shame   Don to his Father, heard this heavie curse,   SERVANT OF SERVANTS, on his vitious Race.   Thus will this latter, as the former World,   Still tend from bad to worse, till God at last   Wearied with their iniquities, withdraw   His presence from among them, and avert   His holy Eyes; resolving from thenceforth   To leave them to thir own polluted wayes;””
