Emblema. 15. Certanti & resistenti victoria cedit.
The same in English.
As Iacob past the riuer had,Fearing his brothers face,
An angell him the combate bad,
And doth at length giue place.
But Iacob striued still, till when,
His thigh began to hault,
So God in wrastling with vs men
Doth not vs sore assault,
But kno veth our strength and yet doth strike,
Lest we our strength might ouerlike.
