hole world, and in the four
rows of the stones was the glory of the fathers graven, and thy
Majesty upon the daidem of his head.

Wis 18:25
Unto these the destroyer gave place, and was afraid of them:
for it was enough that they only tasted of the wrath.

Wis 19:1

the end: for he knew before what they would do;

Wis 19:2

hastily away, they would repent and pursue them.

Wis 19:3

the graves of the dead, they added another foolish device, and

Wis 19:4
For the destiny, whereof they were worthy, drew them unto
this end, and made them forget the things that had already

might find a strange death.

Wis 19:6

anew, serving the peculiar commandments that were given unto
them, that thy children might be kept without hurt:

Wis 19:7
As namely, a cloud shadowing the camp; and where water stood
before, dry land appeared; and out of the Red sea a way without
impediment; and out of the violent stream a green field:

Wis 19:8

signs by the force of thunders: for they suffered justly
according to their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a more
hard and hateful behaviour toward strangers.

when they came: but these brought friends into bondage, that had
well deserved of them.
