Have you never a black Sanctis to ſing us? or cannot you ſing care away, &c? where are your wonted ditties, [illegible: 1 letter]eza. the words of a ſong? Ehodum, bellos nobis illos veſtr[illegible: 1 letter] Sionis modules cantillate.
And they that waſted us] Cumulatores noſtri, vel Concumulatores noſtri, vel homines ejulatuum noſtrorum, they that made us howl ſinging, as Iſa. 52.5. Or In ſuſpenſionibus noſtris, [illegible: 1 letter]ſocr. after that wee had hanged up our harps, as verſ. 2. [non-Latin text not transcribed].
