The XLI. Chapter.

WHo is able to stonde before me? Or, [ A] who hath geuen me eny thynge a∣fore hande, that I am bounde to re¦warde him agayne? All thinges vnder hea∣uen are myne. I feare him not, whether he threaten or speake fayre. Who lifteth him vp and stripeth him out of his clothes, or who taketh him by the bytt of his brydle? Who openeth the dore of his face? for he hath hor¦rible tethe rounde aboute. His body is coue∣red with scales as it were with shyldes, lock¦te in, kepte, and well cōpacte together. One

is so ioyned to another, that no ayre can co¦me in: Yee one hangeth so vpon another, and sticke so together, that they can not be sunde¦red. His nesinge is like a glisteringe fyre, and his eyes like the mornynge shyne. Out of his mouth go torches and fyre brandes, out off [ B] his nostrels there goeth a smoke, like as out ff an hote seetinge pott. His breth maketh the coales burne, the flame goeth out of his mouth. In his necke remayneth strength, and before his face sorowe is turned to glad∣nesse. The membres of his body are ioyned so strayte one to another, and cleue so fast to¦gether, that he can not be moued.

His hert is as harde as a stone, ād as fast as the styth ye that the hammer man smyteth vpon. When he goeth: the mightiest off all are afrayed, and the wawes heuy. Yff he drawe out the swearde, there maye nether [ C] speare ner brest plate abyde him. He setteth as moch by a strawe as by yrō, and as moch by a rotten stocke as by metall. He starteth ot awaye for him that bendeth the bowe, & s for slynge stones, he careth as moch for stubble as for them. He counteth the ham∣mer no better then a strawe, he laugheth him to scorne that shaketh the speare. He trea∣deth the golde in the myre like ye sharpe pot∣sherdes. He maketh the depe to seeth and boy¦le like a pott, and stereth the see together like an oyntment. The waye is light after him, the depe is his walkynge place. Vpon earth is there no power like vnto his, for he is so made, that he feareth not. Yff a man will cō∣sidre all hye thinges, this same is a kynge o∣uer all the children off pryde.
