Emblema. 14. Diuinæ prouidentiæ.
[_]

Gen. 28.

The same in English.

Iacob did see a ladder hie
As he was laide asleepe,
The angels come and go thereby,
Which doe him safely keepe:
We learne hereby in euery way,
That God must be our guide,
Or else we soone may go astray,
Our foote is apt to slide.
And as he saw this thing at rest
So God keepth vs, when we thinke lest.
