Emblema. 72. De legis tabulis læpdeis.
The same in english.
Thou seest these tables hewen of stone,Gods precepts they conteine ech one.
Of stone therefore they first are made,
Because hard is the Lawes trade,
A burden which wee can not susteine,
But faith a way hath easie and plaine,
Againe they stonie are, because
Eternall are the Lord his Lawes:
They cannot perish as the stone
Doth keepe full sure whats writ vpon:
Againe I pray thee to behould,
These letters grauen in stony mould,
So God can chaunge tho stony hart
And write his law in th'hardest part.
