A   Knowest thou the tyme when the wylde goates brynge forth theyr yonge, amonge the stony rockes? Or layest thou wayte when þe; hyndes vse to fawne? rekenest thou the monethes after they engendre, that thou knowest the tyme of theyr bearinge? or wh&ebar; they lye downe, when they cast theyr yo&ubar;ge ones, and when they are delyuered of theyr trauayle and payne? How their yo&ubar;ge ones growe vp, ∧ waxe greate thorow good fedyng? whan they go forth, and returne not agayne vnto them? who letteth the wylde asse go fre, or who lowseth the b&obar;des of the mule? Euen I whych haue geu&ebar; the wyldernes to be theyr house, and the vntylled land to be theyr dwellyng place. That they may geue no force for the multitude of people in the cyties, nether regarde the cryenge of the dryuer: but seke theyr pasture about the mountaynes, &abar;d folowe the grene grasse. B   Wyll the vnycorne be so tame as to do the seruice, or to abyde styll by thy crybbe? Canst thou bynd the yock about the vnycorne in thy forowe, to make hym plowe after þe; in the valleys? Mayest thou trust hym (because he is strong) or committe thy labour vnto hym? Mayest thou beleue hym, that he wyll bringe home thy corne, or to cary any thyng vnto thy barne? &club; Gauest thou the fayre wynges vnto the pecockes, or wynges ∧ fethers vnto the storke? For he leaueth hys egges in the earth and layeth them in the dust. He remembreth not, that they myght be troden wyth fete, or brok&ebar; wyth some wylde beast. So harde is he vnto hys yonge ones, as though they were not hys, and laboureth in vayne wythout any feare. And that because God hath taken wysdome from hym, ∧ hath not geuen hym vnderstandynge. When hys tyme is that he flyeth vp on hye, C   he careth nether for horse ner man.

Hast thou geu&ebar; the horsse hys strength, or lerned him to bowe downe his neck &wt; feare: that he letteth hym selfe be dryuen forth lyke a greshopper, where as the stoute neynge that he maketh, is fearfull? he breaketh the gro&ubar;de with the hoffes of his fete chearfully

in his strength, and runneth to mete the harnest men. He layeth asyde all feare, hys stomack is not abated, nether starteth he a back for any swerde. D   Though the quyuers rattle vpon him, though the speare and shilde glystre: yet russheth he in fearsely, and beateth vpon the grounde. He feareth not the noyse of the trompettes, but as soone as he heareth the shawmes blowe, tush (sayeth he) for he smelleth the battel a farre of, the noyse, the captaynes and the shoutinge.

Commeth it thorow thy wysdome, that the Goshauke flyeth towarde the South? Doth the Aegle mount vp, &abar;d make hys nest on hye at thy commaundement? He abydeth in the stony rockes, and vpon the hye toppes of harde mountaynes, where no man can come. From thence seketh he his praye, ∧ loketh farre about with hys eyes. Hys younge ones are fed with bloud: ^note ∧ where any deed body lyeth, there is he immediatly.
