Again here let us mark at what time and when the joy of the Philistines 1was damped and taken from them. And that was, when they were met together to sport themselves, and be merry, and when they were furthest off from any thought of trouble or death, or of losing and disappointment of their pastime, even then was the house thrown down by Samson upon them. Like to that which the Apostle speaketh; When men cry peace, 2peace, and all things are safe, then shall sudden destruction come upon them, as travel upon a woman with child, and they shall not be able to escape: even as Baltazar also was most fearfully threatened the loss of his kingdom 3in the middest of his banqueting.

And that was, when they were met together to sport themselues, and bee merrie, and when they were furthest off from any thought of trouble or death, or of losing and disappointment of their pastime, euen then was the house throwne downe by Samson vpon them. Like to that which the Apostle speaketh; When men cry peace, 2peace, and al things are safe, then shal sudden destruction come vpon them, as trauell vpon a woman with child, and they shall not be able to escape: euen as Baltazar also was most fearefully threatned the losse of his kingdome 3in the middest of his banqueting.
