Job40:11

Verſe 11. Caſt abroad the rage of thy wrath] In this glorious equipage; make thy juſt indignation felt by all the rebels of the world. Nemo te impunè laceſſet.

And behold every one that is proud] Look upon him oculo minaci, with a flaming eye: look through him, let him ſee thy diſpleaſure. Upon ſome God looketh, to convert them, as Chriſt did upon Peter, Luk. 22.61. Upon others, to confound them, —[non-Latin text not transcribed].

And abaſe him] Abate his pride, and abaſe his pomp, and greatneſſe: this is God-like, Pſal. 147.6. Aeſop being asked by Chilo (one of the ſeven wiſe-men of Greece) What God was doing? Anſwered, He abaſeth the proud, and exalteth the lowly-minded. Tamberlain, to manifeſt that he knew how to puniſh the haughty, made Bajazet the great Turk to be ſhackled, and ſhut up in an iron cage, and ſo carried up and down as he paſſed through Aſia, to be ſcorned and derided of his own people. And when one of his Favourites requeſted him to remit ſome part of his ſeverity againſt the perſon of ſo great a Prince: Tamberlain anſwered,Turk. hiſt. f. 22[illegible: 1 letter] That he did not uſe that rigour againſt him out of hatred to the man, but to manifeſt the juſt judgement of God againſt the arrogant folly of ſo proud a Tyrant.
