An oversight, and deliberation upon the holy prophet JonahAn ouersight, and deliberacion vpon the holy prophete Ionas

So doeth Isaiah report of Gods nature. chap. xlii. He will not put out the tow kindled. He did not only consider the weakness of the man, but also the dangers and trouble of his pastoral vocation. Pitifully therefore doth god bear with him, and schooleth him to a farther & better knowledge. Of this man we may learn how to be ware of hasty & rash passions of Ire▪ for if there be not in all our acts a moderation thereof. we shall never do, nor judge things up rightly according to knowledge. If men ⟨p. clxxii⟩would remember this demand of God towards Jonah, they would not be so angry when they be rebuked for their faults, but rather thank y• admonitor for his good admonition and warning of gods displeasure. Now followeth the second part of the chapter.

And Jonah gat him out of the City, and sat down on the East side thereof, and there made him a Both, and sat under it in the shadow, till he might see what should Chance unto the city.
