Humility appeaseth the wrath of God incensed. [ 1734]
IT is recorded of an English King,Edward the first, that being exceeding angry
with a servant of his, in the sport of Hauking, he threatned him sharply;
The Gentleman answered, that it was well there was a River betwixt them.
Hereat the King more incensed, spur'd his horse into the depth of the River,
not without extream danger of his life; the water being deep, and the banks
too steep and high for his ascending: yet at last recovering land, with his
sword drawn, he pursues the servant, who rode as fast from him; but finding
descriptionPage 594
himself too ill-horsed to out-ride the angry King, he reyned, lighted on his
knees, and exposed his neck to the blow of the Kings sword; The King no soo∣ner
saw this, but he puts up his sword and would not touch him: A dangerous
water could not hold him from Violence, yet satis est prostrâsse, his servant's sub∣mission
pacified him▪ Thus whilst Man flies stubbornly from God, he that
rides upon the wings of the wind posts after him, with the sword of Vengeance
drawn, but when poor dust and Ashes humbles it self, and stands to mercy, the
wrath of God, though ever so much incensed, is soon appeased.
