1Now the Israelites repent them of their cruelty: but it is to late. They should have thought of this thing before. But this is the nature of man, these that flourish they are angry with, and envy them, & when the same men are overthrown & dejected,2 they pity them. The sword is not rashly to be moved, neither should punishments be executed with an angry mind. Architas the Tarentine hath a very wise saying unto his servant: If I were not angry I would punish thee. Athenodorus a Philosopher very well learned when he had gotten leave of Augustus to depart home, & being desired to leave some notable precept with him, answered very wisely: Before thou give place to anger & execute avengment, first say over with thy self in order all the letters of the Greek Alphabet, namely that in that space and detracting of time the violence of the mind may assuage.3
