But I will promise thee, thou shalt never minister any more. Vade in agrum tuum. Get the to thy land, and live there. A great matter of pity & compassion, so God grant us all, such mercy. And here was the end of Eli's stock, according to the promise and threatening of God. As for the Phelethites we do not read that they were punished. Mary Semey transgressed his Injunction for he kept not his house, but went out of Jerusalem to seek two servants of his, that had run from him, and when it came to Solomons ear, it cost him his life. I have ripped the matter now to the pill, and have told you of plain walkers, and of bywalkers, & how ⟨image 18⟩a king in his childhood is a king, as well,1 as in any other age. We read in scripture of such as were but .xii. or .viii. years old, and yet the word of the holy Ghost called them kings, saying: Cepitr• guare. He began to reign, or he began to be king. Here is of bywalkers. This history would be remembered, the Proverb is: Felir quē faciunt aliena pericula cautū.
But I wyll promyse the, thou shalte neuer mynyster anye moore. Vade in agrum tuum. Get the to thy lande, and lyue theare. A great matter of pittye & compassyō, so God graunt vs al, suche mercye. And here was the ende of Elis stocke, accordyng to the promyse and threatenyng of God. As for the Phelethites we do not read that thei were punyshed. Mary Semey traunsgressed hys Iniunction for he kepte not hys house, but wente oute of Hyerusalem to seke two seruaūtes of hys, that had runne from hym, and when it came to Salomons eare, it coste hym hys lyfe. I haue rypt the matter nowe to the pyll, and haue tolde you of playne walkers, and of bywalkers, & howe ⟨image 18⟩a kynge in hys chyldehode is a kynge, as well,1 as in any other age. We reade in scrypture of suche as were but .xii. or .viii. yeares olde, and yet the worde of the holye Goost called them kynges, sayinge: Cepitr• guare. He began to raygne, or he began to be kynge. Here is of bywalkers. Thys hystorye woulde be remembred, the Prouerbe is: Felir quē faciunt aliena pericula cautū.
