            Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a   helpe, and I wondered that there was none to

            an husband.    5  For as a yong man marieth a the house of Israel, which hee hath giuen them
            virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as according to his tender loue, and according to his

            and all the night continually shall not cease: ye  and the Angel of his presence saued them: in his

            hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde.   10  But they rebelled and vexed his holy Spirit:

            his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy   the olde time of Moses and his people, saying,
