GOD'S CONTROVERSY WITH NEW ENGLAND, SELECTION, by                 Poet Analysis    
First Line: Good christian reader judge me not / as too censorious
Last Line: No man may disregard.
Subject(s): New England


Good christian Reader judge me not
As too censorious,
For pointing at those faults of thine
Which are notorious.
For if those faults be none of thine
I do not thee accuse:
But if they be, to hear thy faults
Why shouldest thou refuse.
I blame not thee to spare my self:
But first at home begin,
And judge my self, before that I
Reproove anothers sin.
Nor is it I that thee reproove
Let God himself be heard
Whose awfull providence's voice
No man may disregard.
