Thou, Prince of Wales, and Audley, straight to Sea;
Scour to New-haven; some there stay for me:
My self, Artois, and Darby will through Flanders,

ISA 8:20 To the law and to the testimony: if they speak not according
to this word, it is because there is no light in them.
ISA 8:21 And they shall pass through it, hardly bestead and hungry: and
it shall come to pass, that when they shall be hungry, they shall fret
themselves, and curse their king and their God, and look upward.
