O God the heathen are entered1 into thine inheritance. They have defiled thy holy Temple and have2 profaned thy blessed ordinance, in place of thy joyful signs, they have erected their abominable ydo less. The deadly cup of all blasphe3 my is restored again to their harlots hand. Thy prophets are per4 secuted, and none are permitted to speak thy word freely. The poor sheep of thy poor pasture are commanded to drink the venomous waters of mens traditions.
