The like speech had the Hebrews in time past against Moses: for when the people was oppressed of Pharaoh: Thou (said they) haste made our smell to stink in the sight of Pharaoh. Samson upbraideth not unto them their sluggishness and desperateness, when as he might justly have said unto them: Are ye not ashamed to betray him that hath delivered you? He handleth his own country men friendly, and telleth them peaceably, why he did so. They (said he) ⟨p. 225⟩did me injury first, and the same would I avenge. This is the law of rendering like for like, and it is a common rule of all laws. But swear unto me, 1that you will not fall upon me your selves. Why requireth he this oath that they should not kill him? Because he was godly towards his country, neither would he shed the blood of his citizens, which undoubtedly must needs have been done, if the matter had come to handystrokes.
The lyke speeche had the Hebrues in tyme past agaynst Moses: for when the people was oppressed of Pharao: Thou (sayd they) haste made our smel to stinke in the syght of Pharao. Samson vpbraydeth not vnto them their sluggyshnesse and desperatnesse, when as hee myght iustly haue sayde vnto them: Are ye not ashamed to betray hym that hath delyuered you? He handleth hys owne countrey men friendlye, and telleth them peaceably, why he dyd so. They (sayde he) ⟨p. 225⟩did me iniury first, and the same would I auenge. This is the law of rendring like for like, and it is a common rule of all lawes. But sweare vnto me, 1that you will not fall vpon me your selues. Why requireth he this othe that they shoulde not kill him? Bycause he was godlye towardes his countrey, neither woulde he shed the blood of his citizens, which vndoubtedly must nedes haue bene done, if the matter had come to handystrokes.
