For out of the prison he cometh forth to reign, where he that is borne a king loseth the same.
For out of the prison he commeth forth to reigne, where he that is borne a kyng loseth the same.
1This saying agreeth with the premisses in this wise: therefore is a wise child better then an old fool, because many times it cometh to pass, that some cometh out of the prison to a kingdom, & some other of kings fall to be ignominious and foolish, as Manasseh, Zedechias. But contrariwise Joseph being delivered out of prison, became the chief ruler in Egypt. And in our days Matthias king of Hū gary being brought out of the prison was made a mighty king. Such things many times come to pass in the world, as the Romaine histories declare. Valerianus none of the worst Emperors, being taken prisoner, served for a stool to the king of Persia to get on horseback by all the days of his life. How happened it so unto him? Because his hour appointed of God was come. Wherefore then take we such cares: Sufficient to the day, is the care and travel thereof.
