YOu desperate Swearers, and foule Blasphemers all, Give eare unto an accident, which lately did befall, Upon a wicked Keeper, God did his Judgement show, Neere to the Chase of Enfield, as many People know. Then lend atention to that which I repeate, Wherein you may admire Gods judgements wondrous great, And learne blasphemous Swearing to fl[e]e, for God sayes plaine, He will not hold him guiltlesse that takes his Name in vaine. Now to my Story I come with trembling feare, A lewd ungodly Liver one night was stealing Deere: The Keepers that with vigelance there nightly round did keepe, Upon this Venson-stealer most subtilly did creepe. And having him encompast, he could not scape away, One Keeper to an other in desperate wise did say, Now will I shoote this Fellow, according to the Law, And thereupon, his Crosse-bowe he sodainely did draw.

ALso his wicked prophane blasphemous toung, Which with vile swearing had done his Maker wrong, Out of his mouth now hangeth that every one may view How God rewards Blasphemers and giveth them there due. One thing is worthy to bee observed well, That at the season when this strange thing befell, A Tempest fell in London upon that very day, And this was done within that night as many people say. If all Blasphemers in this kinde were serv'd, Gods holy Precepts would better be observ'd, But let all men be warn'd to flee this foule offence, Which doth the Lord to anger above all sinns incence. And let all murtherers be warned by this tale, For God such foule offences to punish will not fayle, Oh doe not seeke for vengeance which to the Lord belongs, Who will when he thinkes fitting revenge his servants wronges.
Also this is a warning for those that live by stealing, The Lord sevearely plagueth those who live by such false dealing, As now he hath this wreched Theefe who died in his sinns, And few that runn so vile a race a better ending winns. What ere you be give not your mind to live by pilfering theft, But larne to labour with your hands and use some honest shift, Then God will blesse your labours what ere you take in hand, And every thing shall prosper as well by sea as land. In fine, let all bee warn'd at this Gods Judgement showne, And think if you offende the like the case may be your owne, Provoke not God to execute his wrath on you for sinn, But by'th example of these twayne to mend your lives begin.
