As a King ready to battle.
As a King ready to battell.
There are four interpretations for the making out of this similitude; some place it between a wicked mans trouble and anguish, and the trouble and anguish of a King ready to join Battle with a potent Adversary: For, then his spirit is much troubled, knowing how great an adventure he makes, in reference to his state, and how great a hazard he runs, in reference to his life, and person. The charge being sometimes ⟨p. 123⟩given to fight neither against small not great, but only against the King. So a wicked man when trouble comes, is like a King going to Battle, full of fears and anxious thoughts what the issue and event may be: He looks upon himself as the mark, both of the wrath of God and Man, and that every blow shall be directed against his breast.
