THE SEVENTIE SEVEN SERMON ON THE XIIII. CHAPTER OF THE BOOKE OF IVDGES.
How earnestly the Philistines urged Samsons wife to get 1the meaning of the riddle of him, we heard in the former Sermon: now the holy story setteth down, what followed their threatenings of Samsons wife, that she might get the meaning of the riddle at his hand. First she sued to him in most earnest manner to know 2it, and and required of him, that as he loved her, he would declare the meaning of it unto her: who answered her by sound reason, and gave her a denial. But she not satisfied therewith, desisted not, but was importunate with him, and weeping to him the rest of the seven days after the first three were past: for so are the words to be understood in the 18. verse [she wept before him the seven days, while the feast lasted:] then, I say, he told her the meaning of the riddle on the seventh day, and she declared it to them, and they to Samson, and so the controversy was ended.
