5How he established a testimonie in Iaakob, and ordeined a Law in Israel, which he commanded our fathers, that they shoulde teache their children:
6That the posteritie might knowe it, and the children, which should be borne, should stand vp, and declare it to their children:
7That they might set their hope on God, and not forget the workes of God but keepe his commandements:
8And not to bee as their fathers, a disobedient and rebellious generation: a generation that set not their heart aright, and whose spirite was not faithfull vnto God.
9The children of Ephraim being armed and shooting with the bowe, turned backe in the day of battell.
10They kept not the couenant of God, but refused to walke in his Lawe,
11And forgate his Actes, and his wonderfull woorkes that he had shewed them.
12Hee did marueilous thinges in the sight of their fathers in the lande of Egypt: euen in the fielde of Zoan.
13He deuided the Sea, and led them through: he made also the waters to stand as an heape.
14In the day time also hee led them with a cloude, and all the night with a light of fire.
15He claue the rockes in the wildernes, and gaue them drinke as of the great depths.
16He brought floods also out of the stonie rocke; so that hee made the waters to descend like the riuers.
17Yet they sinned stil against him, and prouoked the Highest in the wildernesse,
18And tempted God in their heartes in requiring meate for their lust.
19They spake against God also, saying, Can God prepare a table in the wildernesse?
20Behold, he smote the rocke, that the water gushed out, and the streames ouerflowed: can hee giue bread also? or prepare flesh for his people?
21Therefore the Lord heard and was angrie, and the fire was kindled in Iaakob, and also wrath came vpon Israel,
22Because they beleeued not in God, and trusted not in his helpe.
