U Nto the Prophet Jonas I read, The word of the Lord secretly came, Saying to Ninivy passe thou with speed, To that mightie Citie of wondrous fame. Against it quoth he cry out and be free, Their wickednesse great is come up to me, Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance his vengeance doth spare Then Jonas rose up immediatly, And from the presence of the Lord God, He sought by sea away to flie, And went downe to Joppa where many ships rode, The fare he did pay, and so got away. And thus the Lords word he did disobey. Sinn is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. But God sent out such a mighty great winde, That a sore tempest upon the sea came: Which greatly tormented the Marriners minde Their ship being like to be broke by the same. And being afraid, no time they delaide: But each unto his God earnestly praide, Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. Yet seeing the tempest continue so sore To lighten their ship they thought it the best, Into the rough sea, therefore they cast ore, All their rich marchandize ere they did rest, but while they did weepe, Jonas did sleepe, And under the hatches himselfe he did keepe. Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. Then came the Shipmaster to Jonas in hast, Saying thou sluggard why sleepest thou so? We being in danger away to be cast, Rise, pray to thy God to release our great woe. for well you may see, that likely we be,
Each one to be drowned without remedy, Sinne is the cause of sorrow and care: But God through repentance, etc. Then each unto his fellow did say, Come let us cast lots betweene us each one, To know for which of our sinnes this day, This grievous tempest upon us is blowne. Then truth for to tell, when wisely and well, The lots were all cast, upon Jonas it fell. Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. When they perceived the lot to fall so, They asked of Jonas immediatly: from whence he did come and where he would goe, Where he was borne and in what countrie. then Jonas replide, and never denide, But all the whole truth unto them discride, Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. I am an Hebrew you shall understand, And the Lord God of heaven I onely serve: Which made the sea and eke the dry land, But from his commandement late I did swarve. In seeking to flie, from his majestie, He hath laid upon me this great misery, Sinne is the cause of sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. Then said the Mariners tell us with speed, What shall we doe with thee in this case: That this great tempest may cease in our need, Which rageth extreamly in every place. Cast mee in the sea. thus Jonas did say, For 'tis for my sake you are plagued this day, Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc. Neverthelesse the men were afraid, And sought for to row the ship unto Land: But could not prevaile the tempest so plaid, That they in great perrill of life still did stand. O Lord then quoth they, we humbly pray, For this man let us not perish this day, sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, etc. But God through repentance, etc. Then tooke they up Jonas in place where he stood, And threw him out of the ship in the sea: And presently the fierce raging flood, With the great tempest the Lord did alay. and then presently, they all did espie, That the sea most calme and most quiet did lie. Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God through repentance, etc.

A Great Whale fish the Lord sent that way, Which swallowed up Jonas immediatly, Three daies and three nights in his belly he lay, And there full oft to the Lord he did cry. Then God did command, The Whale out of hand, To call up the Prophet upon the dry land, Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. The word of the Lord came to Jonas againe, Saying goe to Ninivies mighty Citie: And preach unto that people most plaine, The words which I before shewed thee, then Jonas arose, to the Citie he goes, And daily to them Gods judgement he shewes, Footie daies after yet remaineth quoth he, And Ninivie then destroyed shall be. The king and the people of Ninivy then, At Jonas preaching repented full sore: They proclaimed a fast both to beastes and to men, And sackcloth and ashes most humbly they wore, and most bitterly, to God they did cry, Asking forgivenesse and craving mercy. For forty daies yet remaineth quoth he, And Ninivy then destroyed shall be. Their great repentance the Lord did behold, Their true humble hearts in every degree: To them his mercy he did then unfold And turned his punishment from their Citie. his favour and grace, he sent to that place, And all their offences he cleane did deface. Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. At this was Jonas greatly displeasd, And thus to the Lord in anger he said: Now well I see thy wrath is appeas'd, Whereby all falshood to me will be laid. and therefore quoth he, most blest should I be,
If my hateful life thou shouldst take now from me Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. So Jonas went out of the Citie with speed, And on the east a boothe he did make: There to behold, to marke and take heed, what course with the city the lord God would take where God in one night, brought up in his sight, A wilde vine to shadow him from the Suns heate. Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. Jonas of this was wondrous glad, For great was the force of the Sun in that place, And he by that meanes a good covering had, But God the next day the vine did deface. so then the Suns heate: on him did so beat, That for this vine Jonas his anger was great. Sin is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. Then said the Lord God to Jonas againe, And dost thou well to be angry for this? He said I doe well to be angry certaine, Seeing my comfort so soone I doe misse. and better quoth he, it is now for me, To die then to live in this miserie, Sinne is the causer of sorrow and care, etc. And hast thou such pitty the Lord God did say, On this wilde Vine which sprung in one night: And in a night likewise did wither away, Which thou never plantedst, nor cost thee a mite. then why should not I, in tender mercy, Pitty this great repenting Citie? Sinne is the cause of great sorrow and care, But God by repentance his vengeance doth spare.
