lion roareth, let the beasts of the forest
tremble; and when the Lord speaketh,
let the kings Of the earth keep silence"
The king Instantly shrunk back in his
seat, and remained quiet during the re-

the monarch sent for him, and gave him
fifty guIneas for the institution over
which he presided, observing at the same
time to his courtiers-tH is an honest
