The. xli. Chapter.
Of the same Leuyathan whereof is mencyoned in
the Chapter afore.
A Who is able to stande before me?
Or, who hath geuen me anye
thynge afore hande, that I am
bound to reward hym againe?
All thynges vnder heauen are
myne. I feare hym not, whether he threat&ebar; or
speake fayre. Who lyfteth hym vp, ∧ strypeth
hym out of hys clothes, or who taketh him by
-- --
the byt of hys brydle? Who openeth the dore
of hys face? for he hath horryble tethe rounde
aboute. Hys body is couered with scales as it
were wyth shyldes, lockt in, kepte, ∧ wel compacte
together. One is so ioyned to another, þt;
no ayre c&abar; come in Yea one hangeth so vpon
another, ∧ stycketh so together, that they can
not be sundered. His nesynge is lyke a glysteryng
fyre, ∧ his eyes lyke the morning shyne.
Oute of hys mouthe go torches ∧ fyre br&abar;des
oute of hys nostrels there goeth a smoke, like
as oute of an hote sethinge pot.
C His breth maketh
the cotes burne, the flamme goeth out of
hys mouth. In his necke remayneth strength
∧ before hys face sorow is turned to gladnes.
The membres of his body are ioyned so strait
one to another, and cleue so fast together, that
he can not be moued.
His hert is as herde as a stone, ∧ as faste
as the stithye that the hammer man smyteth
vpon. When he goeth, the myghtiest of al are
afrayed, ∧ the waues heauy. If he drawe out
the swearde, there maye neyther speare nor
brest plate, abyde hym He setteth as much by
a strawe as by yron, and as muche by a rott&ebar;
stocke as by metall. He starteth not away for
hym that bendeth the bowe: ∧ as for slynge
stones, he careth as muche for stubble as for
them.
D He counteth the hammer no better then
a strawe, he laugheth hym to scorne that shaketh
the speare. He treadeth the golde in the
myre lyke the sharpe potsherdes. He maketh
the depe to seethe and boyle lyke a pot, ∧ stereth
the sea together lyke an oyntment. The
waye is lyght after hym, the depe is hys walkynge
place. Vpon earth is there no power lyke
vnto hys, for he is so made that he feareth
not. If a man wyll consydre all hye thinges,
thys same is a kynge ouer all the chyldren of
pryde.
