Now beware you grudge not me, as as Saul did David. (p)I can wash my hands in innocency, and clear my self ⟨p. 50⟩of this matter. Innocentia est ubi non est nocendi voluntas. (q)That is innocency which is without desire to hurt. Augustine saith: Duo sunt genera persecutorum: vituperantium & adulantium; Nam plus persequitur lingua adulatoris quàm manus persequentis. (r)There are two kinds of hurting or persecuting enemies: that is, backbiters and flatterers: for the tongue of the flatterer woundeth or hurteth more then the hand of a sworn enemy: for so the meaning is. Again he saith: Nemo peritorum aut prudentium putet, &c. There is no man of understanding and wisdom but seeth more danger or harm to be by a lying and flattering rongue, then by the hands of a murderer.(s) For David still fled from Saul when he came to kill him, and so was saved.(t) But Absalom by flattery caught his brother Ammon, and slew him.(v) So Joab murdered Abner, and Amasa.(w)
