EMBLEME XIX.
La Providence.
Au S. Jaques Endius.[1]
Le Crocodil sçait bien ou le Nil doibt venir
Quand il est desbordé: pour ceste cause il porte
Ses oeufz en un lieu haut. ainsi il nous exhorte
De prevoir le malheur qui nous peut advenir.
Notes:
1. Jacob van den Eynde (aka Eyndius): landsadvocaat (the lawyer who represents the province) of Holland (d. 1570).
