[ CXXXVI] A forraigne Enemy to be prevented.
FAbius Maximus kept aloof from the Carthagenian Army,* 1.1 upon an high hill, till
he saw that Han••••bal had worsted 〈◊〉〈◊〉 in the plain; but then he falleth
upon him, and routs all his Troops: Whereupon Hannibal uttered that memo∣rable
speech,* 1.2I ever feared, that the cloud which hovered so long on the hills, would in
the end poure down, and give us a sad shour. The case is ours, we are together by the
ears in the plain, as to the matter of judgment especially; but Fabius is upon the
hill, there is a considerable party upon the mountains, a forraign Enemy, that hath
an eye upon our divisions, and if not prevented, may in all likelyhood, by the
reason of our sins, be the destruction of us.
