Still tend from bad to worse, till God at last
Wearied with their iniquities, withdraw
His presence from among them, and avert
His holy Eyes; resolving from thenceforth
To leave them to thir own polluted wayes; 110

From all the rest, of whom to be invok'd,
A Nation from one faithful man to spring:
