Proverbs21:13
Verſ. 13. Who ſo ſtoppeth his ear at the cry, &c.] This was fulfilled in Pharaoh, Haman, the rich glutton, Hatto Archbiſhop of Mentz, Mauricius the Emperour, and many others, who might have better provided for their own comfort in ſickneſs, and other exigences, had they been more pitiful to poor people. Whereas now, when they ſhall lye toſſing and tumbling upon their ſick beds, roaring as Bulls, and tabring upon their breaſts &c. Nah. 2.7. God will not hear them, Men will ſay, It is good enough for them: All hearts, by a Divine hand, will bee ſtrangely ſet off from the mercileſs, as it befell Scianus.
