Rh seas are gathered together, and with his wisdom he strucke the proud man. His spirite hath adorned the heauens, & his hand being the midwife, the winding serpent is brought forth. Loe, these things are sayd in part of his waies: and where as we haue heard scarce a litle drop of his word, who shal be able to behold the thunder of his greatnes?

CHAP. XXVII.

OB also added, taking his parable, and sayd: God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgement, and the Omnipotent, which hath brought my soule to bitternesse. That as long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nosthrels, My lippes shal not speake iniquitie, neither shal my tongue meditate lying. God forbid that I should iudge you to be iust: til I faile, I wil not depart from my innocencie. My iustification which I haue begune to hold, I wil not forsake: for my hart doth not reprehend me in al my life. Let mine enemie be as the impious, and mine aduersarie as the wicked one. For what is the hipocrites hope, if couetousely he take by violence, and God deliuer not his soule? Wil God heare his crie, when distresse shal come vpon him? Or can he be delighted in the Omnipotent, and inuocate God at al time? I wil teach you by the hand of God, what the Omnipotent hath, neither wil I hide it. Loe, you doe al know, and why speake you vaine things without cause? This is the portion of an impious man with God, and inheritance of the violent, which they shal receiue of the Omnipotent. If his children be multiplied, they shal be in the sword, & nephewes shal not be filled with bread. They that shal be least of him, shal be buried in death, and his widowes shal not weepe. If he shal heape together siluer as earth, and as clay shal prepare garments: He shal prepare indeed, but the iust man shal be clothed with them: and the innocent shal diuide the siluer. He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper hath he made a bowre. The rich man when he shal sleep shal take away nothing with him: he shal open his eies, and finde nothing. Pouertie as water shal apprehend him, in the night a tempest shal oppresse him. The burning wind shal take him vp, and cary him away, and as a whirlewinde shal pul him violently out of his place. And he shal cast vpon him, and shal not spare: out of his hand flying he shal flye. He shal claspe his hands vpon him, and shal hisse vpon him, beholding his place. Rh
