What more praiseworthy than to build upon His word?
How many flee this danger, falling into that!
From fryingpan leaps one, to light in fire right pat.[140]
Man plans a stratagem; in it is caught himself.
That which he took for health, he finds is death itself.20
He locks his door when treason’s lurking in his house.
So Pharaoh deemed he’d danger shun ere it should rouse.
How many thousand infants did he doom to death;
While Moses, whom he feared, his own roof was beneath.
Our eyes afflicted are with various kinds of ills.
