Get thee into thy house, by like he meant to ward, and there to see his wearing, as if he should say, show thy self without gall of ambition, to be a quiet subject, and I will1 pardon thee for this time. But I will see the wearing of thee. Here we may see the wonderful great mercy of Solomon ⟨p. 33⟩for this notorious treason, that Adonias had committed, it was a plain matter, for he suffered him self to be called king, it hung not of vehement suspicion or conjecture nor sequel or consequent, yet notwithstanding Solomon for that present, forgave him, saying I will not forget it utterly, but I will keep it in suspense, I will take no advantage of thee at this time. This Adonias and Absalom were brethren, and came both of a strange mother, and Absalom likewise was a traitor and made an insurrection against his father. Beware therefore these mothers, and let kings take heed how they marry, in what houses, in what […]. For2 strange bringing up bringeth strange manners. No we giveth David an exhortation to Solomon, and teacheth him the duty of a king, and giveth him a lesson, as it followeth at large in the book, and he that list to read it, may see it there at full.

And bringeth me out a couple of lies at a clap, and committeth me two unlawful acts. For first he would have ben king without his fathers consent, and now he will marry his fathers wife, and the. ii. lies are these. First, said […] to Bethsabe, thou knowest that the kingdom belongeth to me, for I am the elder. The kingdom was mine, he lied4 falsely, it was none of his. Then said he all the eyes of Israel were cast upon me, that is to say: all Israel consented to it, and there he lied falsely. For Nathan, Sadoc, and other wise men, never agreed to it. Here was a great enterprise of Adonias: he will be climbing still. Well Bethsabe went at his request to her son Solomon, and asked a boon, and be granted her what soever she did ask. Notwithstanding he brake his promise afterward & that right well,
