Closead momentum in ira sua, & vita in voluntate eius. Ad vesperam demorabitur fletus, & ad matutinum laetitia.
He is but a while in his anger, but in his fauour is life: weeping may abide at euening, but ioy commeth in the morning.
quoniam ira in indignatione eius et vita in voluntate eius ad vesperum demorabitur fletus et ad matutinum laetitia
quoniam ad momentum est ira eius et vita in repropitiatione eius ad vesperum commorabitur fletus et in matutino laus.
[The second half of Foxe's text seems closer to the version translated from the Greek this time, althoughmomentum(which does not occur in the version from the Greek) occurs in both the Hebrew Vulgate version and that of Beza in 1642]
CloseAbscondere ad modicum, ad momentum, donec pertranseat indignatio eius.
Hide thy self for a very little while, vntill the indignation passe ouer.
abscondere modicum ad momentum donec pertranseat indignatio.
[Correctly cited, but note differences in the Latin text]
Closenon est indignatio mihi
There is no anger in me.
indignatio non est mihi.

The mother sometime beateth the child, but yet her hart melteth vpon it euen in the very beating, MarginaliaGods loue in our corrections.& therfore she casteth the rodde into the fire, and culleth the childe, geueth it an apple, and dādleth it most motherly. And to say the truth, the loue of mothers to theyr children is but a trace to traine vs to beholde the loue of God towards vs, and therfore sayth he: can a mother forget the childe of her wombe? As who say, no: but if she shold so do, yet will not I forget thee, sayth the Lord of hostes.MarginaliaEsay. 49. Ah comfortable saying: I will not forget thee, saith þe Lord. In dede the children of God thynke oftentimes that God hath forgotten them, and therfore they cry: MarginaliaPsal. 26. MarginaliaPsal. 70. 118. 37. 26.

CloseNe abscondas faciem tuam a me. &c.
Hide not thy face from me. &c.
ne avertas faciem tuam a me
ne abscondas faciem tuam a me.
[Foxe seems to be following the Vulgate from the Hebrew]
CloseNe derelinquas me Domine. &c.
Leaue me not O Lord. &c.
non derelinquas me Domine [Deus meus ne discesseris a me].
ne derelinquas me Domine [Deus meus ne elongeris a me].
[Foxe's marginal note refers to Psalms 70, 118, 37 and 26. Cattley-Pratt footnotes the reference to Psalms 27 and 119]
CloseEgo dixi in excessu meo, proiectus sum a facie tua.
I sayd in my agony, I was clene cast away from thy face. &c.
ego autem dixi in excessu mentis meae proiectus sum a facie oculorum tuorum.
ego autem dixi in stupore meo proiectus sum de conspectu oculorum eius.
[NB the Foxe text is rather different from both Vulgate versions and that of Beza]
CloseDeus meus, Deus meus, vt quid dereliquisti me? ... vt quid derelinquis? ... derelinques? ... vt quid dereliquisti?
My God, my God, why has thou forsaken me? ... Why doest thou forsake me? ... Why wilt thou forsake me? ... Why hast thou forsaken me?

CloseNoli timere. &c. Ad punctum enim, in modico dereliqui te, & in miserationibus magnis congregabo te. In momento indignationis abscondi faciem meam parumper a te, & in misericordia sempiterna misertus sum tui, dixit redemptor tuus dominus. Nam istud erit mihi sicut aquae Noe. Vt enim iuraui ne porro aquae Noe pertransirent terram, sic iuraui vt non irascar tibi & non increpem te. Montes enim comouebuntur & colles contremiscent, misericordia autem mea non recedet a te, & foedus pacis meae non mouebitur, dixit miserator tuus Dominus.
[Back to Top]Feare not. &c. For a litle while I haue forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee. For a moment in mine anger I hid my face from thee, for a lytle season: but in euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, saith the Lord thy redemer. For thys is vnto me, as the waters of Noe. For as I haue sworne that the waters of Noe should no more go ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angry with thee, nor rebuke thee. For the Mountaines shall remoue, and the hills shall fall down, but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.

[While obviously referring to these two verses in Micah 7, Foxe has paraphrased and re-ordered the words. For an accurate citation, cf. page 1830, volumn 2, line 31 below]
Closeadiutor in tribulationibus
An helper in tribulations.
[Deus noster refugium et virtus] adiutor in tribulationibus quae invenerunt nos nimis.

The weaker we are, the more strong are we in him.
