We may read of Saul, in what woeful perplexity he was when he must part with his kingdom and his life at once. In the time of his prosperity he was a man of great courage, and too too boisterous against David: yet when news came unto him that he must dye, the very report of it caused him straight way to fall all along upon the earth like a beast, so that all that were present had much ado to make him arise, and take a little food to refresh him. He was strong in body, and mighty in1 battle, but sinful in heart, and therefore cowardly in heart: & the like might be showed concerning Belshazzar king of Ba•el, Daniel 5. and the soldiers that kept the sepulchre where Christ was laid,2 when the Angel appeared in glory. But let us consider of the reasons hereof.
