1 Kings 11:22

Then Pharaoh said unto him, But what hast thou lacked with me, that, behold, thou seekest to go to thine own country? And he answered, Nothing: howbeit let me go in any wise.

Ver. 22. Howbeit let me go in any wise.] Heb., No, but in sending send me away. Fugiamus et nos ad clarissimarn patriam: hasten we also to heaven, though the world would detain us longer here by her blandishments and largesses, Rivers run to the sea, whence they came; the dove returneth to the ark; &c. Nature hath ingrafted in every creature to love the place where it took birth and beginning.
