Chap. XVI.
God plaguing the Ægyptians for idolatrie, and crueltie, deliuered the
Israelites. 5. Chasticed them also, but againe shewed them mercie; 20.
and fedde them with Manna.
1 For note these thinges, and note by the like to these, they haue
worthely suffered torments, and were destroyed by a
multitude of beasts.
2 For the which torments thou didst wel
dispose of thy people, to whom thou gauest the desire of their
delectation a new taste, preparing them the quaile for meate:
3 that they in deede coueting meate, because of those thinges
which were shewed and sent them, might be turned away
euen from necessarie concupiscence. But they in short time
being made needie, tasted a new meate.
4 For it behoued that
without excuse destruction should come vpon them exercising
tyrannie: note but to these onlie to shew how their enemies
were destroyed.
5 For when the cruel wrath of beastes came
vpon them, they were destroyed with the bytings of peruerse
serpents.
6 Howbeit thy wrath endured not for euer, but
for chastisement they were trubled a short time, hauing a
signe of saluation for the remembrance of the commandment
of thy law.
7 For he that turned to it, note was not healed
by that which he saw, but by thee the sauiour of al:
8 and in
this thou didst shew to our enemies, that thou art he which
deliuerest from al euil.
9 For the bitings of locusts, and flies
killed them, and there was found no remedie for their life:
because they were worthie to be destroyed by such thinges.
10 But neither the teeth of venemous dragons ouercame thy
children: for thy mercie coming healed them.
11 For in
memorie of thy wordes they were examined, & were quickly
saued, lest falling into deepe obliuion, they might not vse thy
helpe.
12 For neither herbe, nor playster healed them, but thy
word, ô Lord, which healeth al thinges.
13 For it is thou, ô
Lord, that hast powre of life and death, and bringest downe to
-- --
the gates of death, and fetchest agayne:
14 but man certes
killeth by malice, and when the spirit is gone forth, it shal not
returne, neither shal he cal backe the soule that is receiued:
15 but it is vnpossible to escape thy hand.
16 For the impious
denying to knowe thee, haue bene scourged by the strength
of thine arme, suffering persecution by strange waters, and
haile, and rayne, and consumed by fyre.
17 For that which
was meruelous in water, which extinquisheth al thinges,
note fyre more preuayled: for the world is reuenger of the iust.
18 For a certayne time, the fyre was mitigated, that note the
beasts which were sent to the impious might not be burnt,
but that they seing might know that by Gods iudgement they
suffer punishment.
19 And at a certaine time the fyre aboue his
powre burnt note in water on euerie side, that it might destroy
the nation of a wicked land.
20 For the which thinges thou
didst nourish thy people with the meate of Angels, and bread
prepared thou gauest them from heauen without labour,
note hauing in it al delectation, and the sweetnes of al taste.
21 For
thy substance did shew thy sweetnes which thou hast toward
thy children, and seruing euerie mans wil, it was turned to
that, that euerie man would.
22 Yea snow and yce susteyned
the force of fyre, and melted not: that they might know that
fyre burning in hayle, and lightening in rayne destroyed the
fruites of the enemies.
23 And this againe, that the iust might
be nourished, it forgat also his owne strength.
24 For the
creature seruing thee the Creatour, is fierce into torment
against the vniust: and is made more gentle to doe good for
them, that trust in thee.
25 For this cause euen then being
transformed into al thinges they serued thy grace the nource
of al, at their wil that desired thee:
26 that thy children might
know, whom thou louedst ô Lord, that not the fruites of natiuitie
doe feede men, but thy word preserueth them, that
beleue in thee.
27 For that which could not be destroyed by
fyre, forthwith being note heated with a litle beame of the sunne
did melt:
28 that it might be knowen to al men, that we ought
to preuent the sunne to blesse thee, and at the rysing of light
to adore thee.
29 For the note fayth of the vngratful shal melt as
winter yce, & shal perish as vnprofitable water.
