Verſ. 11. If thou forbear to deliver them, &c.] That is, that are wrongfully butchered. Here, not to ſave a man (if it be in our power) is to deſtroy him, Mark 3.4. Job brake the jawes of the wicked, and plucked the prey out of his teeth. The people reſcued Jonathan, and Ebedmelech Jeremy. Chap. 29. Act. and Mon. fol. 1899. Henry 8. delivered his Queen Katherine; and King Philip with his Spaniards kept the Lady Elizabeth from the cruel mercies of Stephen Gardiner, who had deſigned them deſtruction; Sir George Blage, (one of King Henry the Eighths Privie-chamber) being condemned for an Heretick, was yet pardoned by the King. He coming afterwards to the Kings preſence, Ah my Pig, Act. and Mon. fol. 1135. Ibid. 1862. ſaith the King (for ſo hee was wont to call him) Yea, ſaid he, if your Majesty had not been better to mee than your Biſhops were, your Pig had been roaſted ere this time. But what a bloudy mind bore Harpsfield, Arch-Deacon of Canterbury, who being at London when Queen Mary lay a dying, made all poſt-haſte home to diſpatch thoſe whom he had then in cruel cuſtody.
