aan he now attains, I see his Tents [ 135 ]
Pitcht about Sechem, and the neighb Plaine
Of Moreh; there by promise he receaves
Gift to his Progenie of all that Land;
From Hamath Northward to the Desert South
(Things by thir names I call, though yet unnamd) [ 140 ]
From Hermo to the great Western Sea,
Mount Hermon, yonder Sea, each place behold
In prospect, as I point them; on the shoare
Mount Carmel; here the double-fouream
Jordan, true limit Eastward; but his Sons [ 145 ]
Shall dwell to Senir, that le of Hills.
This pohat all Nations of the Earth
Shall in his Seed be blessed; by that Seed
Is meant thy great deliverer, who shall bruise
The Serpents head; whereof to thee anon [ 150 ]
Plainlier shall be reveald. This Patriarch blest,
Whom faithful Abraham due time shall call,
A Son, and of his Son a Grand-childe leaves,
Like him in faith, in wisdom, and renown;
The Grandchilde with twelve Sons i, departs [ 155 ]
From aan, to a land hereafter calld
Egypt, divided by the River Nile;
See where it flows, disg at seaven mouthes
Into the Sea: to sojourn in that Land
He es invited by a yonger Son [ 160 ]
In time of dearth, a Son whose worthy deeds
Raise him to be the sed in that Realme
Of Pharao: there he dies, and leaves his Race
Growing into a Nation, and now grown
Suspected to a sequent King, who seeks [ 165 ]
To stop thir rowth, as inmate guests
Too numerous; whence of guests he makes them slaves
Inhospitably, and kills thir infant Males:
Till by two brethren (those two brethren call
Moses and Aaro from God to claime [ 170 ]
His people from enthralment, they return
With glory and spoile back to thir promisd Land.
