The
Terrors
of
the
Night
.
OR
A
Discourse
of
Apparitions
.
A
Litle
to
beguile
time
idlely
discontented
,
and
satisfie
so
me
of
my
solitary
friends
heere
in
the
Countrey
,
I
haue
hastily
vndertooke
to
write
of
the
wearie
fancies
of
the
Night
,
wherein
if
I
weary
none
with
my
weak
fancies
,
I
will
herafter
leane
harder
on
my
penne
and
fetch
the
petegree
of
my
praise
,
from
the
vtmost
of
paines
.
As
touching
the
terrors
of
the
night
,
they
are
as
many
as
our
sinnes
.
The
Night
is
the
Diuells
Blacke
booke
,
wherein
hee
recordeth
all
our
transgressions
.
Euen
,
as
when
a
condemned
man
is
put
into
a
darke
dungeon
,
secluded
from
all
comfort
of
light
or
companie
,
he
doth
nothing
but
despairfully
call
to
minde
his
gracelesse
former
life
,
and
the
brutish
outrages
and
misdemeanours
that
haue
throwne
him
into
that
desolate
horrour
:
so
when
Night
in
her
rustie
dungeon
hath
imprisoned
our
ey-sight
,
and
that
we
are
shut
seperatly
in
our
chambers
from
resort
,
the
diuell
keepeth
his
audit
in
our
sin-guilty
consciences
,
no
sense
but
surrenders
to
our
memorie
a
true
bill
of
parcels
of
his
detestable
impieties
.
The
table
of
our
hart
is
turned
to
an
index
of
iniquities
,
and
all
our
thoughts
are
nothing
but
texts
to
condemne
vs
.
The
rest
we
take
in
our
beds
is
such
another
kinde
of
rest
,
as
the
wearie
traueller
taketh
in
the
coole
soft
grasse
in
summer
;
who
thinking
there
to
lye
at
ease
,
and
refresh
his
tyred
limmes
,
layeth
his
fainting
head
vnawares
on
a
loathsome
neast
of
snakes
.
Well
haue
the
Poets
tearmd
night
the
nurse
of
cares
,
the
mother
of
despaire
,
the
daughter
of
hell
.
Some
Diuines
haue
had
this
conceipt
,
that
God
would
haue
made
all
day
and
no
night
,
if
it
had
not
been
to
put
vs
in
minde
,
there
is
a
Hell
as
well
as
a
Heauen
.
Such
is
the
peace
of
the
subiects
as
is
the
peace
of
the
Prince
vnder
whom
they
are
gouerned
.
As
God
is
intitled
the
Father
of
light
,
so
is
the
diuell
surnamed
the
Prince
of
darknesse
,
which
is
the
night
.
The
only
peace
of
minde
that
the
diuell
hath
is
dispaire
,
wherefore
wee
that
liue
in
his
nightly
kingdome
of
darknes
,
must
needs
taste
some
disquiet
.
The
Rauen
and
the
Doue
that
were
sent
out
of
Noes
Arke
,
to
discouer
the
worlde
after
the
generall
Deluge
,
may
well
be
an
allegorie
of
the
day
and
the
night
.
The
day
is
our
good
Angell
the
Doue
,
that
returneth
to
our
eyes
with
an
Oliue
branch
of
peace
in
his
mouth
(
presenting
quiet
and
securitie
to
our
distracted
soules
and
consciences
)
;
the
night
is
that
ill
angel
the
Rauen
,
which
neuer
commeth
back
to
bring
anie
good
tidings
of
tranquilitie
:
a
continuall
messenger
hee
is
of
dole
and
misfortune
.
The
greatest
curse
almost
that
in
the
scripture
is
threatened
,
is
,
that
the
rauens
shal
picke
out
their
eies
in
the
valley
of
death
.
This
cursed
rauen
the
night
,
pecks
out
mens
eyes
in
the
valley
of
death
.
It
hindreth
them
from
looking
to
heauen
for
succor
,
where
their
Redeemer
dwelleth
:
wherefore
no
doubt
it
is
a
time
most
fatall
and
vnhallowed
.
This
being
proued
,
that
the
diuell
is
a
speciall
predominant
Planet
of
the
night
,
and
that
our
creator
for
our
punishment
hath
allotted
it
him
as
his
peculiar
segniorie
and
kingdome
,
from
his
inueterate
enuie
,
I
will
amplifie
the
vgly
terrours
of
the
night
.
The
names
importing
his
mallice
,
which
the
scripture
is
plentiful
of
,
I
wil
here
omit
;
least
some
men
shuld
think
I
went
about
to
coniure
.
Sufficeth
vs
to
haue
this
heedfull
knowledge
of
him
,
that
hee
is
an
auncient
male
content
,
and
seeketh
to
make
anie
one
desperat
like
himselfe
.
Like
a
cunning
fowler
to
this
end
he
spreadeth
his
nets
of
temptation
in
the
darke
,
that
men
might
not
see
to
auoyd
them
.
As
the
Poet
saith
.
Quae
nimis
apparent
retia
vitat
auis
.
Too
open
nets
euen
simple
birds
doo
shun
.
Therfore
in
another
place
(
which
it
cannot
be
but
the
diuell
hath
read
)
he
counsaileth
thus
.
Noctem
peccatis
&
fraudibus
obiice
nubom
.
By
night
time
sinne
,
and
cloake
thy
fraud
with
clouds
.
When
hath
the
diuell
commonly
first
appeared
vnto
anie
man
but
in
the
night
?
In
the
time
of
infidelitie
,
when
spirits
were
so
familiar
with
men
that
they
cald
them
Du
Penates
,
their
houshold
Gods
or
their
Lares
,
they
neuer
sacrificed
vnto
them
till
Sunne-setting
.
Their
Robbin-good-fellowes
,
Elfes
,
Fairies
,
Hobgoblins
of
our
latter
age
,
which
idolatrous
former
daies
and
the
fantasticall
world
of
Greece
ycleaped
Fawnes
,
Satyres
,
Dryades
&
Hamadryades
,
did
most
of
their
merry
prankes
in
the
Night
.
Then
ground
they
malt
,
and
had
hempen
shirts
for
their
labours
,
daunst
in
rounds
in
greene
meadowes
,
pincht
maids
in
their
sleep
that
swept
not
their
houses
cleane
,
and
led
poore
Trauellers
out
of
their
way
notoriously
.
It
is
not
to
be
gain-said
,
but
the
diuell
can
transforme
himselfe
into
an
angell
of
light
,
appeare
in
the
day
aswell
as
in
the
night
,
but
not
in
this
subtil
world
of
Christianity
so
vsuall
as
before
.
If
he
doo
,
it
is
when
mens
mindes
are
extraordinarily
throwne
downe
with
discontent
,
or
inly
terrified
with
some
horrible
concealed
murder
,
or
other
hainous
crime
close
smothered
in
secret
.
In
the
day
he
may
smoothly
in
some
mild
shape
insinuat
,
but
in
the
night
he
takes
vpon
him
like
a
tyrant
.
There
is
no
theese
that
is
halfe
so
hardie
in
the
day
as
in
the
night
,
no
more
is
the
diuell
.
A
generall
principle
it
is
,
hee
that
doth
ill
hateth
the
light
.
This
Macheuillian
tricke
hath
hee
in
him
worth
the
noting
,
that
those
whom
he
dare
not
vnited
or
together
encounter
,
disioined
and
diuided
,
hee
will
one
by
one
assaile
in
their
sleepe
.
And
euen
as
Ruptures
and
crampes
doo
then
most
torment
a
man
when
the
bodie
with
any
other
disease
is
distemperd
,
so
the
Diuell
when
with
any
other
sickenes
or
malladie
the
faculties
of
our
reason
are
enfeebled
and
distemperd
,
will
be
most
busie
to
disturbe
vs
and
torment
vs
.
In
the
quiet
silence
of
the
night
he
will
be
fare
to
surprize
vs
,
when
he
vnfallibly
knowes
we
shall
be
vnarmed
to
resist
,
and
that
there
will
be
full
auditorie
granted
him
to
vndermine
or
perswade
what
he
lists
.
All
that
euer
he
can
scare
vs
with
,
are
but
Seleucus
ayrie
Castles
,
terrible
bug-beare
brags
,
and
nought
els
,
which
with
the
least
thought
of
faith
are
quite
vanished
and
put
to
flight
.
Neither
in
his
owne
nature
dare
he
come
nere
vs
,
but
in
the
name
of
sin
,
and
as
Gods
executioner
.
Those
that
catch
birdes
imitate
their
voyces
,
so
will
hee
imitate
the
voyces
of
Gods
vengeance
,
to
bring
vs
like
birds
into
the
net
of
eternall
damnation
.
Children
,
fooles
,
sicke-men
,
or
mad-men
hee
is
most
familiar
with
(
for
he
still
delights
to
worke
vpon
the
aduantage
)
and
to
them
he
boldly
reuealeth
,
the
whole
astonishing
treasurie
of
his
wonders
.
It
will
bee
demaunded
why
in
the
likenes
of
ones
father
or
mother
,
or
kinsfolks
,
he
oftentimes
presents
himselfe
vnto
vs
?
No
other
reason
can
bee
giuen
of
it
but
this
,
that
in
those
shapes
which
hee
supposeth
most
familliar
vnto
vs
,
and
that
wee
are
inclined
to
with
a
naturall
kind
of
loue
,
we
will
sooner
harken
to
him
than
otherwise
.
Should
he
not
disguise
himselfe
in
such
sub
til
formes
of
affection
,
we
would
flie
from
him
as
a
serpent
,
and
eschew
him
with
that
hatred
he
ought
to
be
eschewd
.
If
anie
aske
why
he
is
more
conuersant
&
busie
in
churchyards
and
places
where
men
are
buried
,
than
in
anie
other
places
?
It
is
to
make
vs
beleeue
,
that
the
bodies
&
soules
of
the
departed
rest
entirely
in
his
possession
,
and
the
peculiar
power
of
death
is
resigned
to
his
disposition
.
A
rich
man
delights
in
nothing
so
much
as
to
be
vncessantly
raking
in
his
treasurie
,
to
bee
turning
ouer
hys
his
rustie
gold
euerie
houre
:
the
boanes
of
the
dead
the
diuell
counts
his
chiefe
treasurie
,
and
therfore
is
he
continually
raking
amongst
them
;
and
the
rather
he
doth
it
,
that
the
lining
which
heare
it
should
bee
more
vnwilling
to
die
,
insomuch
as
after
death
their
boanes
should
take
no
rest
.
It
was
said
of
Catiline
,
Vultum
gestauit
in
manibus
,
with
the
turning
of
a
hand
he
could
turne
and
alter
his
countenance
.
Farre
more
nimble
and
sodaine
is
the
Diuell
in
shifting
his
habit
,
his
forme
he
can
change
,
and
cogge
as
quicke
as
thought
.
What
do
we
talke
of
one
diuel
?
there
is
not
a
roome
in
anie
mans
house
,
but
is
pestred
and
close
packed
with
a
campe
royall
of
diuels
.
Chrisostome
saith
,
the
aire
and
earth
are
three
parts
inhabited
with
spirits
.
Hereunto
the
Philosopher
alluded
,
when
hee
said
,
Nature
made
no
voydnes
in
the
whole
vniuersall
:
for
no
place
(
bee
it
no
bigger
than
a
pockhole
in
a
mans
face
)
but
is
close
thronged
with
them
.
Infinite
millions
of
them
will
hang
swarming
about
a
worm-eaten
nose
.
Don
Lucifer
himselfe
their
grand
Capitano
,
asketh
no
better
throne
than
a
bleare
eye
to
set
vp
his
state
in
.
Vpon
a
haire
they
will
sit
like
a
nit
,
and
ouer-dredgea
bald
pate
like
a
white
scurffe
.
The
wrinkles
in
old
witches
visages
,
they
eate
out
to
entrench
themselues
in
.
If
in
one
man
a
whole
legionof
diuells
haue
bin
billetted
?
how
manie
hundred
thousand
legions
retaine
to
a
Tearme
at
London
.
If
I
said
but
to
a
Tauerne
,
it
were
an
infinite
thing
.
In
westminster
Hall
a
man
can
scarce
breath
for
them
:
for
in
euery
corner
they
houer
as
thick
as
moates
in
the
sunne
.
The
Druides
that
dwelt
in
the
Ile
of
Man
,
which
are
famous
for
great
coniurers
,
are
reported
to
haue
beene
lousie
with
familiars
.
Had
they
but
put
their
finger
and
their
thumbe
into
their
neck
,
they
coud
haue
pluckt
out
a
whole
neast
of
them
.
There
be
them
that
thinke
euerie
sparke
in
a
flame
is
a
spirit
,
and
that
the
wormes
which
at
sea
eate
through
a
ship
,
are
so
also
:
which
may
verie
well
bee
;
for
haue
not
you
seene
one
sparke
of
fire
burne
a
whole
towne
,
&
a
man
with
a
sparke
of
lightning
made
blinde
,
or
kild
outright
.
It
is
impossible
the
gunnes
should
goe
off
as
they
doo
,
if
there
were
not
a
spirit
either
in
the
fier
,
or
in
the
powder
.
Now
for
wormes
:
what
makes
a
dog
run
mad
,
but
a
worme
in
his
tung
?
and
what
should
that
worme
bee
,
but
a
spirit
?
Is
there
anie
reason
,
such
small
vermine
as
they
are
,
should
deuoure
such
a
vast
thing
as
a
shippe
,
or
haue
the
teeth
to
gnaw
through
yron
and
wood
?
No
,
no
they
are
spirits
,
or
els
it
were
incredible
.
Tullius
Hostillius
who
tooke
vppon
him
to
coniure
vp
Ioue
by
Numa
Pompillius
bookes
,
had
no
sense
to
quake
&
tremble
at
the
wagging
and
shaking
of
euery
lease
,
but
that
he
thought
all
leaues
are
full
of
wormes
,
and
those
wormes
are
wicked
spirits
.
If
the
bubbels
in
streames
were
wel
searcht
,
I
am
perswaded
they
would
be
found
to
be
little
better
.
Hence
it
comes
that
mares
(
as
Columella
reporteth
)
looking
their
formes
in
the
water
,
run
mad
.
A
flea
is
but
a
little
beast
,
yet
if
she
were
not
possest
with
a
spirit
,
she
could
neuer
leape
and
skip
so
as
she
doth
.
Froisard
saith
,
the
Earle
of
Fois
had
a
familiar
that
presented
it selfe
vnto
him
in
the
likenes
of
two
rushes
fighting
one
with
another
.
Not
so
much
as
Tewksburie
mustard
but
hath
a
spirit
in
it
or
els
it
would
neuer
bite
so
.
Haue
wee
not
read
of
a
number
of
men
that
haue
ordinarily
carried
a
familiar
or
a
spirite
in
a
ring
in
stead
of
a
sparke
of
a
diamond
?
why
I
tell
ye
we
cannot
break
a
crum
of
bread
so
little
,
as
one
of
them
will
be
if
they
lift
.
From
this
generall
discourse
of
spirits
,
let
vs
digresse
&
talke
another
while
of
their
seperate
natures
and
properties
.
The
spirits
of
the
fire
which
are
the
purest
and
perfectest
,
are
merry
,
pleasant
,
and
well
inclined
to
wit
,
but
neuertheles
gyddie
,
and
vnconstant
.
Those
whome
they
possesse
,
they
cause
to
excell
in
what
euer
they
vndertake
.
Or
Poets
or
boone
companions
they
are
out
of
question
.
Socrates
Genius
was
one
of
this
stampe
,
and
the
Doue
where
with
the
Turkes
hold
Mahomet
their
Prophet
to
bee
inspired
.
What
their
names
are
,
and
vnder
whome
they
are
gouerned
,
the
Discouerie
of
witchcraft
hath
amplified
at
large
,
wherefore
I
am
exempted
from
that
labour
.
But
of
the
diuinest
quintessence
of
mettals
and
of
wines
are
many
of
these
spirits
extracted
.
It
is
almost
impossible
for
any
to
bee
encumbred
with
ill
spirits
,
who
is
continually
conuersant
in
the
excellent
restoratiue
distillations
of
wit
and
of
Alcumie
.
Those
that
rauenously
englut
themselues
with
grosse
meates
,
and
respect
not
the
quality
but
the
quantity
of
what
they
eate
,
haue
no
affinitie
with
these
spirits
of
the
fire
.
A
man
that
will
entertaine
them
must
not
pollute
his
bodie
with
any
grosse
carnall
copulation
or
inordinate
beastly
desires
,
but
loue
pure
beauty
,
pure
vertue
,
and
not
haue
his
affections
linseywolsey
,
intermingled
with
lust
,
and
things
worthy
of
liking
.
As
for
example
if
hee
loue
good
Poets
hee
must
not
countenance
Ballet-makers
,
if
he
haue
learned
Phisitions
he
must
not
fauor
horse-leaches
and
mountebanks
:
for
a
bad
spirit
and
a
good
can
neuer
endure
to
dwell
together
.
Those
spirits
of
the
fire
,
howeuer
I
tearme
them
comparatiuely
good
in
respect
of
a
number
of
bad
,
yet
are
they
not
simply
well
inclinde
,
for
they
bee
by
nature
ambitious
,
haughty
and
proud
,
nor
do
they
loue
vertue
for
it selfe
any
whit
,
but
because
they
would
ouerquell
and
outstrip
others
,
with
the
vaineglorious
ostentation
of
it
.
A
humor
of
monarchizing
and
nothing
els
it
is
,
which
makes
them
affect
rare
quallified
studies
.
Many
Atheists
are
with
these
spirits
inhabited
.
To
come
to
the
spirits
of
the
water
,
the
earth
,
&
the
ayre
;
they
are
dull
flegmaticke
drones
,
things
that
haue
much
mallice
without
anie
great
might
.
Drunkards
,
mizers
,
and
women
they
vsually
retain
too
.
water
(
you
all
know
)
breedeth
a
medley
kinde
of
licor
called
beere
;
with
these
watrie
spirits
they
were
possessed
,
that
first
inuented
the
art
of
bruing
.
A
quagmire
consisting
of
mud
and
sand
,
sendeth
forth
the
like
pudly
mixture
.
All
rheumes
,
poses
,
Sciaticaes
,
dropsies
,
and
gouts
,
are
diseases
of
their
flegmaticke
engendring
.
Sea-faring
men
of
what
sort
soeuer
,
are
chiefe
entertainers
of
those
spirits
.
Greedy
vintners
likewise
giue
hospitalitie
to
a
number
of
them
;
who
hauing
read
no
more
scripture
,
than
that
myracle
of
Christs
turning
water
into
wine
in
Chanaan
,
thinke
to
doo
a
farre
stranger
miracle
than
euer
he
did
,
by
turning
wine
into
water
.
Alehouses
and
cookes
shadie
pauisions
,
by
watrie
spirits
are
principally
vpholden
.
The
spirits
of
the
earth
are
they
which
crie
,
all
bread
and
no
drinke
,
that
loue
gold
and
a
buttond
cap
aboue
heauen
.
The
woorth
in
nought
they
respect
,
but
the
weight
,
good
wits
they
naturally
hate
;
insomuch
as
the
element
of
fire
their
progenitor
,
is
a
wast-good
&
a
consumer
.
If
with
their
earth-plowing
snowtes
they
can
turne
vp
a
pearle
out
of
a
dunghill
,
it
is
all
they
desire
.
Witches
haue
manie
of
these
spirits
,
and
kill
kyne
wyth
them
.
The
giants
and
chiefetaines
of
those
spirites
,
are
powrfull
sometimes
to
bring
men
to
their
ends
,
but
not
a
iot
of
good
can
they
doo
for
their
liues
.
Souldiers
with
these
terrestriall
spirits
participate
part
of
their
essence
,
for
nothing
but
yron
and
golde
(
which
are
earths
excrements
)
they
delight
in
.
Besides
,
in
another
kinde
they
may
be
said
to
participate
with
them
,
insomuch
as
they
confirme
them
in
their
furie
,
&
congeale
their
mindes
with
a
bloodie
resolution
.
Spirites
of
the
earth
they
were
that
entred
into
the
heard
of
swyne
in
the
Gospel
.
There
is
no
citie
merchant
,
or
country
purchaser
,
but
is
haunted
with
a
whole
hoste
of
these
spirits
of
the
earth
.
The
Indies
is
their
Metrapolitane
realme
of
abode
.
As
for
the
spirits
of
the
aire
,
which
haue
no
other
visible
bodies
or
form
,
but
such
as
by
the
vnconstant
glimmering
of
our
eies
is
begotten
;
they
are
in
truth
all
show
and
no
substance
,
deluders
of
our
imagination
,
&
nought
els
.
Carpet
knights
,
politique
statesmen
,
women
&
children
they
most
conuers
with
.
Carpet
knights
they
inspire
with
a
humor
of
setting
big
lookes
on
it
,
being
the
basest
cowards
vnder
heauen
,
couering
an
apes
hart
with
a
lions
case
,
and
making
false
alarums
when
they
mean
nothing
but
a
may-game
.
Politique
statesmen
they
priuily
incite
,
to
bleare
the
worlds
eyes
with
clowdes
of
common
wealth
pretences
,
to
broach
any
enmitie
or
ambitious
humor
of
their
owne
,
vnder
a
title
of
their
cuntries
preseruation
.
To
make
it
faire
or
fowle
when
they
list
to
procure
popularity
,
or
induce
a
preamble
to
some
mightie
peece
of
prowling
,
to
stir
vp
tempests
round
about
,
&
replenish
heauen
with
prodigies
and
wonders
,
the
more
to
ratifie
their
auaritious
religion
.
Women
they
vnder-hand
instruct
to
pownce
and
boulster
out
theyr
brawn-falne
deformities
,
to
new
perboile
with
painting
their
rake-leane
withered
visages
,
to
set
vp
flaxeshops
on
their
forheads
,
when
all
their
owne
haire
is
dead
and
rotten
,
to
sticke
their
gums
round
with
Comfets
,
when
they
haue
not
a
tooth
left
in
their
heads
to
help
them
to
chide
withall
.
Children
they
seduce
with
garish
obiects
and
toyish
babies
,
abusing
them
many
yeares
with
slight
vanities
.
So
that
you
see
all
their
whole
influence
is
but
thin
ouercast
vapours
,
flying
clouds
dispersed
with
the
least
winde
of
wit
or
vnderstanding
.
None
of
these
spirits
of
the
ayre
or
the
fire
haue
so
much
predominance
in
the
night
as
the
spirits
of
the
earth
and
the
water
;
for
they
feeding
on
foggie-braind
melancholly
,
engender
thereof
many
vncouth
terrible
monsters
.
Thus
much
obserue
by
the
way
,
that
the
grossest
part
of
our
blood
is
the
melancholy
humor
,
which
in
the
spleene
congealed
whose
office
is
to
disperse
it
,
with
his
thicke
steaming
sennie
vapours
casteth
a
mist
ouer
the
spirit
,
and
cleane
bemasketh
the
phantasie
.
And
euen
as
slime
and
durt
in
a
standing
puddle
,
engender
toads
and
frogs
,
and
many
other
vnsightly
creatures
,
so
this
slimie
melancholy
humor
still
still
thickning
as
it
stands
still
,
engendreth
many
mishapen
obiects
in
our
imaginations
.
Sundry
times
wee
behold
whole
Armies
of
men
skirmishing
in
the
Ayre
,
Dragons
,
wilde
beasts
,
bloody
streamers
,
blasing
Commets
,
firie
strakes
with
other
apparitions
innumerable
,
whence
haue
all
these
their
conglomerate
matter
but
from
fuming
meteors
that
arise
from
the
earth
,
so
from
the
fuming
melancholly
of
our
spleene
mounteth
that
hot
matter
into
the
higher
Region
of
the
braine
,
whereof
manie
fearfull
visions
are
framed
.
Our
reason
euen
like
drunken
fumes
it
displaceth
and
intoxicates
,
&
yeelds
vp
our
intellectiue
apprehension
to
be
mocked
and
troden
vnder
foote
,
by
euerie
false
obiect
or
counterset
noyse
that
comes
neere
it
.
Heerein
specially
consisteth
our
senses
defect
and
abuse
,
that
those
organicall
parts
which
to
the
minde
are
ordained
embassadours
,
doo
not
their
message
as
they
ought
,
but
by
some
misdiet
or
misgouernment
being
distempered
,
faile
in
their
report
,
and
deliuer
vp
nothing
but
lyes
and
fables
.
Such
is
our
braine
oppressed
with
melancholy
,
as
is
a
clocke
tyde
downe
with
too
heauie
weights
or
plummets
;
which
as
it
cannot
chuse
but
monstrously
goe
a
square
,
or
not
goe
at
all
:
so
must
our
braines
of
necessitie
be
either
monstrously
distracted
,
or
vtterly
destroyed
thereby
.
Lightly
this
extreamitie
of
Melancholye
neuer
commeth
,
but
before
some
notable
sicknesse
;
it
faring
with
our
braynes
as
with
Bees
,
who
,
as
they
exceedingly
toyle
and
turmoile
before
a
storme
or
change
of
weather
,
so
doo
they
beate
and
toyle
,
and
are
infinitelie
confused
before
sicknes
.
Of
the
effects
of
melancholy
I
need
not
dilate
,
or
discourse
how
many
encumbred
with
it
,
haue
thought
themselues
birdes
and
beasts
,
with
feathers
,
and
hornes
,
and
hydes
;
others
,
that
they
haue
been
turned
into
glasse
;
others
,
that
if
they
should
make
water
they
should
drowne
all
the
world
;
others
,
that
they
can
neuer
bleed
inough
.
Phisitions
in
their
circuit
euerie
day
meet
with
far
more
ridiculous
experience
.
Onely
it
shall
suffise
a
little
by
the
way
to
handle
one
speciall
effect
of
it
,
which
is
dreames
.
A
dreame
is
nothing
els
but
a
bubling
scum
or
froath
of
the
fancie
,
which
the
day
hath
left
vndigested
;
or
an
after
feast
made
of
the
fragments
of
idle
imaginations
.
How
manie
sorts
there
be
of
them
no
man
can
rightly
set
downe
,
since
it
scarce
hath
been
heard
,
there
were
euer
two
men
that
dreamed
alike
.
Diuers
haue
written
diuersly
of
their
causes
,
but
the
best
reason
among
them
all
that
I
could
euer
picke
out
,
was
this
,
that
as
an
arrow
which
is
shot
out
of
a
bow
is
sent
forth
manie
times
with
such
force
,
that
it
flyeth
farre
beyond
the
marke
wherat
it
was
aymed
:
so
our
thoughts
intentiuely
fixt
all
the
day
time
vpon
a
marke
wee
are
to
hit
,
are
now
and
then
ouer-drawne
with
such
force
,
that
they
flye
beyonde
the
marke
of
the
day
into
the
confines
of
the
night
.
There
is
no
man
put
to
any
torment
,
but
quaketh
&
trembleth
a
great
while
after
the
executioner
hath
withdrawne
his
his
hand
from
him
.
In
the
daye
time
wee
torment
our
thoughts
and
imaginations
with
sundry
cares
and
deuices
;
all
the
night
time
they
quake
and
tremble
after
the
terror
of
their
late
suffering
,
and
still
continue
thinking
of
the
perplexities
they
haue
endured
.
To
nothing
more
aptly
can
I
compare
the
working
of
our
braines
after
we
haue
vnyoakt
and
gone
to
bed
,
than
to
the
glimmering
and
dazeling
of
a
mans
eyes
when
hee
comes
newly
out
of
the
bright
Sunne
,
into
the
darke
shadow
.
Euen
as
ones
eyes
glimmer
and
dazle
when
they
are
withdrawne
out
of
the
light
into
darknesse
:
so
are
our
thoughts
troubled
&
vexed
when
they
are
retyred
from
labor
to
ease
,
and
from
skirmishing
to
surgerie
.
You
must
giue
a
wounded
man
leaue
to
grone
while
he
is
in
dressing
:
Dreaming
is
no
other
than
groaning
,
while
sleepe
our
surgeon
hath
vs
in
cure
.
He
that
dreams
merily
is
like
a
boy
new
breetcht
,
who
leapes
and
daunceth
for
ioy
his
pain
is
past
:
but
long
that
ioy
stayes
not
with
him
,
for
presently
after
his
master
the
day
seeing
him
so
iocond
and
pleasant
,
comes
and
dooes
as
much
for
him
againe
,
whereby
his
hell
is
renued
.
No
such
figure
of
the
first
Chaos
whereout
the
world
was
extraught
,
as
our
dreames
in
the
night
.
In
them
all
states
,
all
sexes
,
all
places
are
confounded
and
meete
together
.
Our
cogitations
runne
on
heapes
like
men
to
part
a
fray
,
where
euerie
one
strikes
his
next
fellow
.
From
one
place
to
another
without
consultation
they
leap
,
like
rebells
bent
on
a
head
.
Souldiers
iust
vp
and
downe
they
imitate
at
the
sacke
of
a
Citie
,
which
spare
neither
age
nor
beautie
:
the
yong
,
the
old
,
trees
,
steeples
&
mountaines
,
they
confound
in
one
gallimafrie
.
Of
those
things
which
are
most
knowne
to
vs
,
some
of
vs
that
haue
moyst
braynes
make
to
our selues
images
of
memorie
:
on
those
images
of
memorie
whereon
we
buyld
in
the
daye
,
comes
some
superfluous
humour
of
ours
,
lyke
a
Iacke-anapes
in
the
night
,
and
erects
a
puppet
stage
,
or
some
such
ridiculous
idle
childish
inuention
.
A
Dreame
is
nothing
els
but
the
Eccho
of
our
conceipts
in
the
day
.
But
other-while
it
fals
out
,
that
one
Eccho
borrowes
of
another
:
so
our
dreames
(
the
Ecchoes
of
the
day
)
borrow
of
anie
noyse
we
heare
in
the
night
.
As
for
example
;
if
in
the
dead
of
the
night
there
be
anic
rumbling
,
knocking
,
or
disturbaunce
neere
vs
,
wee
straight
dreame
of
warres
,
or
of
thunder
.
If
a
dogge
howle
,
we
suppose
we
are
transported
into
hell
,
where
we
heare
the
complaint
of
damned
ghosts
.
If
our
heads
lye
double
or
vneasie
,
we
imagine
we
vphold
all
heauen
with
our
shoulders
like
Atlas
.
If
wee
bee
troubled
with
too
manie
clothes
,
then
we
suppose
the
night
mare
rides
vs
.
I
knew
one
that
was
crampt
,
and
hee
dreamt
that
hee
was
torne
in
peeces
with
wylde
horses
;
and
another
,
that
hauing
a
blacke
sant
brought
to
his
bed
side
at
midnight
,
dreamt
he
was
bidden
to
dinner
at
Iron-mongers
Hall
.
Anie
meate
that
in
the
day
time
we
eat
against
our
stomackes
,
begetteth
a
dismall
dreame
.
Discontent
also
in
dreames
hath
no
little
predominance
:
for
euen
as
from
water
that
is
troubled
,
the
mud
dispersingly
ascendeth
from
the
bottome
to
the
top
;
so
when
our
blood
is
chafed
,
disquieted
and
troubled
,
all
the
light
imperfect
humours
of
our
bodie
,
ascend
like
mud
vp
aloft
into
the
head
.
The
clearest
spring
a
little
tutcht
,
is
creased
wyth
a
thousand
circles
:
as
those
momentarie
circles
for
all
the
world
such
are
our
dreames
.
when
all
is
said
,
melancholy
is
the
mother
of
dreames
,
and
of
all
terrours
of
the
night
whatsoeuer
.
Let
it
but
affirme
it
hath
seene
a
spirit
(
though
it
be
but
the
moone-shine
on
the
wall
)
the
best
reason
wee
haue
cannot
infringe
it
.
Of
this
melancholy
there
be
two
sorts
;
one
that
digested
by
our
liuer
swimmeth
like
oyle
aboue
water
,
&
that
is
rightly
tearmed
womens
melancholy
,
which
lasteth
but
for
an
houre
,
and
is
(
as
it
were
)
but
a
coppie
of
their
countenance
:
the
other
sinketh
downe
to
the
bottome
like
the
lees
of
the
wine
,
and
that
corrupteth
all
the
blood
,
and
is
the
causer
of
lunacie
.
well
moderated
recreations
are
the
medicine
to
both
:
surfet
or
excessiue
studie
the
causers
of
either
.
There
were
gates
in
Rome
,
out
of
which
nothing
was
carried
but
dust
and
dung
,
and
men
to
execution
:
so
manie
of
the
gates
of
our
senses
serue
for
nothing
but
to
conueigh
out
excrementall
vapors
,
&
afrighting
deadly
dreames
,
that
are
worse
than
executioners
vnto
vs
.
Ah
woe
be
to
the
solitarie
man
that
hath
his
sinnes
continually
about
him
,
that
hath
no
withdrawing
place
from
the
diuell
and
his
temptations
.
Much
I
wonder
how
treason
and
murder
dispense
with
the
darknes
of
the
night
,
how
they
can
shriue
themselues
to
it
,
and
not
raue
and
die
.
Me
thinkes
they
shuld
imagine
that
hell
imbraceth
them
round
,
when
she
ouer
spreads
them
with
her
blacke
pitchie
mantle
.
Dreames
to
none
are
so
fearfull
,
as
to
those
whose
accusing
priuate
guilt
expects
mischiefe
euerie
hower
for
their
merit
.
Wonderfull
superstitious
are
such
persons
in
obseruing
euerie
accident
that
befalls
them
:
and
that
their
superstition
is
as
good
as
an
hundred
furies
to
torment
Bond-men
in
Turkey
or
in
Spaine
are
not
so
ordinarilye
fold
,
as
witches
sell
familiars
there
.
Farre
cheaper
maye
you
buy
a
winde
amongst
them
,
than
you
can
buy
wind
or
faire
words
in
the
Court
.
Three
knots
in
a
thred
,
or
an
odde
grandams
blessing
in
the
corner
of
a
napkin
,
will
carrie
you
all
the
world
ouer
.
Wee
when
we
frowne
knit
our
browes
,
but
let
a
wizard
there
knit
a
noose
or
a
riding
snarle
on
his
beard
,
&
it
is
haile
,
storme
and
tempest
a
month
after
.
More
might
be
spoken
of
the
prodigies
this
countrey
sendes
foorth
,
if
it
were
not
too
much
erring
from
my
scope
.
Whole
Ilands
they
haue
of
yee
,
on
which
they
build
and
ttaffique
as
on
the
maine
land
.
Admirable
(
aboue
the
rest
)
are
the
incomprehensible
wonders
of
the
bottomlesse
Lake
Vether
,
ouer
which
no
fowle
flies
but
is
frozen
to
death
,
nor
anie
man
pasleth
but
he
is
senselesly
benummed
like
a
statue
of
marble
.
All
the
inhabitaunts
round
about
it
,
are
deafned
wyth
the
hideous
roring
of
his
waters
when
the
winter
breaketh
vp
,
&
the
yee
in
his
dissoluing
giues
a
terrible
cracke
like
to
thunder
,
when
as
out
of
the
midst
of
it
(
as
out
of
Mont-Gibell
)
a
sulphureous
stinking
smoak
issues
,
that
welnigh
poysons
the
whole
Countrey
.
A
poyson
light
on
it
,
how
come
I
to
digresse
to
such
a
dull
,
Lenten
Northren
Clyme
,
where
there
is
nothing
but
stock-fish
,
whetstones
and
cods-heads
?
Yet
now
I
remember
me
,
I
haue
not
lost
my
way
so
much
as
I
thoght
for
my
theame
is
The
terrors
of
the
Night
,
and
Island
is
one
of
the
chiefe
kingdomes
of
the
night
;
they
hauing
scarce
so
much
day
there
,
as
will
serue
a
childe
to
ask
his
father
blessing
.
Marry
with
one
commoditie
they
are
blest
,
they
haue
Ale
that
they
carry
in
their
pockets
lyke
glue
,
and
euer
when
they
would
drinke
,
they
set
it
on
the
fire
and
melt
it
.
It
is
reported
,
that
the
Pope
long
since
gaue
them
a
dispensation
to
receiue
the
Sacrament
in
ale
,
insomuch
as
for
their
vncessant
frosts
there
,
no
wine
but
was
turned
to
red
emayle
,
as
soone
as
euer
it
came
amongst
them
.
Farewell
frost
:
as
much
to
say
,
as
farewell
Island
,
for
I
haue
no
more
to
say
to
thee
.
I
care
not
much
if
I
dream
yet
a
little
more
:
&
to
say
the
troth
,
all
this
whole
Tractate
is
but
a
dreame
,
for
my
wits
are
not
halfe
awaked
in
it
:
&
yet
no
golden
dreame
,
but
a
leaden
dreame
is
it
;
for
in
a
leaden
standish
I
stand
fishing
all
day
,
but
haue
none
of
Saint
Peters
lucke
to
bring
a
fish
to
the
hooke
that
carries
anie
siluer
in
the
mouth
.
And
yet
there
be
of
them
that
carrie
siluer
in
the
mouth
too
,
but
none
in
the
hand
:
that
is
to
say
,
are
verie
bountifull
and
honourable
in
their
words
,
but
except
it
be
to
sweare
indeed
,
no
other
good
deedes
comes
from
them
.
Filthie
Italionat
complement-mungers
they
are
,
who
would
faine
be
counted
the
Courts
Gloriosos
,
and
the
refined
iudges
of
wit
;
when
if
their
war
drops
and
the
withred
bladders
of
their
braines
were
well
searcht
,
they
haue
nothing
but
a
fewe
moath-eaten
cod-peece
sutes
(
made
against
the
comming
of
Mounsier
)
in
the
one
,
and
a
few
scraps
of
out-landish
prouerbes
in
the
other
:
and
these
alone
doo
buckler
them
from
the
name
of
beggers
and
idiots
.
Other-while
perhaps
they
may
keep
a
coyle
with
the
spirit
of
Tasso
,
and
then
they
folde
their
armes
like
Braggarts
,
writhe
their
neckes
alla
Neapolitano
,
and
turne
vp
their
eye-balls
like
men
intraunced
.
Come
,
come
,
I
am
entraunced
from
my
Text
I
wote
weil
,
and
talke
idlely
in
my
sleepe
longer
than
I
should
,
those
that
will
harken
any
more
after
Dreames
,
I
referre
them
to
Artimidorus
,
Synesurs
,
&
Cardan
,
with
many
others
which
onely
I
haue
heard
by
their
names
,
but
I
thanke
God
had
neuer
the
plodding
patience
to
reade
,
for
if
they
bee
no
better
than
some
of
them
I
haue
perused
,
euery
weatherwise
old
wise
might
write
better
.
what
sense
is
there
that
the
yoalke
of
an
egge
should
signifie
gold
,
or
dreaming
of
Beares
,
or
fire
,
or
water
,
debate
and
anger
,
that
euery
thing
must
bee
interpreted
backward
as
Witches
say
their
Pater-noster
,
good
being
the
character
of
bad
,
and
bad
of
good
.
As
well
we
may
calculate
from
euery
accident
in
the
day
,
and
not
goe
about
any
busines
in
the
morning
till
we
haue
seene
on
which
hand
the
Crow
sits
.
O
Lord
I
haue
heard
many
a
wise
Gentlewoman
say
,
I
am
so
merry
and
haue
laught
so
hartily
,
that
I
am
sure
ere
long
to
bee
crost
with
some
sad
tydinges
or
other
;
all
one
as
if
men
comming
from
a
Play
should
conclude
,
Well
we
haue
seene
a
Commedie
to
day
,
and
therefore
there
cannot
choose
but
be
a
Tragedie
to
morrow
.
I
doo
not
deny
but
after
extremity
of
myrth
,
followe
many
sad
accidents
,
but
yet
those
sad
accidents
(
in
my
opinion
)
wee
meerely
plucke
on
with
the
feare
of
comming
mischiefe
,
and
those
meanes
wee
in
pollicie
most
vse
to
preuent
it
,
soonest
enwrappe
vs
in
it
,
and
that
was
Sathans
tricke
in
the
old
world
of
gentillisme
to
bring
to
passe
all
his
blind
Prophecies
.
Could
any
man
set
downe
certaine
rules
of
expounding
of
Dreames
,
and
that
their
rules
were
generall
,
holding
in
all
as
well
as
in
some
,
I
would
beginne
a
litle
to
list
to
them
,
but
commonly
that
which
is
portentiue
in
a
King
is
but
a
friuolous
fancie
in
a
beggar
,
and
let
him
dreame
of
Angels
,
Eagles
,
Lyons
,
Griffons
,
Dragons
neuer
so
,
all
the
augurie
vnder
heauen
will
not
allot
him
so
much
as
a
good
almes
.
Some
will
obiect
vnto
mee
for
the
certainety
of
Dreames
,
the
Dreames
of
Cyrus
,
Cambyses
,
Pompey
,
Caesar
,
Darius
,
&
Alexander
.
For
those
I
answer
,
that
they
were
rather
visions
than
Dreames
,
extraordinarily
sent
from
heauen
to
foreshew
the
translation
of
Monarchies
.
The
Greeke
and
Romane
histories
are
full
of
them
,
and
such
a
stirre
they
keepe
with
their
Augurers
and
Soothsayers
,
how
they
foretold
long
before
by
Dreames
and
beasts
and
birds
intrayles
,
the
losse
of
such
a
battaile
,
the
death
of
such
a
Captaine
or
Emperour
,
when
false
knaues
,
they
were
all
as
Prophet
Calchas
,
pernitious
Traytors
to
their
Country
and
them
that
put
them
in
trust
,
and
were
many
times
hyred
by
the
aduerse
part
to
disharten
and
discourage
their
Masters
by
such
Conycatching
Riddles
as
might
in
truth
be
turned
any
way
.
An
easie
matter
was
it
for
them
to
prognosticate
treasons
and
conspiracies
,
in
which
they
were
vnderhand
inlincked
themselues
,
&
how
euer
the
world
went
it
was
a
good
pollicie
for
them
to
saue
their
heades
by
the
shift
,
for
if
the
treasons
chaunst
afterwards
to
come
to
light
,
it
would
not
be
suspected
they
were
practisers
in
them
,
insomuch
as
they
reueald
them
,
or
if
they
should
by
theyr
confederates
be
appealed
as
practisers
,
yet
might
they
plead
and
pretend
it
was
done
but
of
spite
and
mallice
to
supplant
them
for
so
bewraying
and
laying
open
their
intents
.
This
tricke
they
had
with
them
besides
,
that
neuer
till
the
verie
instant
that
anie
treason
was
to
be
put
in
execution
,
and
it
was
so
neere
at
hand
that
the
Prince
had
no
time
to
preuent
it
,
would
they
speake
one
word
of
it
,
or
offer
to
disclose
it
:
yea
,
and
euen
then
such
vnfit
seasons
for
their
colourable
discouerie
would
they
picke
foorth
,
as
they
would
be
sure
he
should
haue
no
leasure
to
attend
it
.
But
you
will
aske
why
at
all
as
then
they
should
step
foorth
to
detect
it
?
Marry
to
cleare
themselues
to
hys
successors
,
that
there
might
bee
no
reuenge
prosecuted
on
their
liues
.
So
did
Spurina
the
great
Astrologer
,
euen
as
Caesar
in
the
midst
of
all
his
busines
was
going
hastely
to
the
Senate
house
,
he
popt
a
bill
in
his
hand
of
Brutus
and
Cassius
conspiracie
,
and
all
the
names
of
those
that
were
colleagued
with
them
.
well
he
might
haue
thought
that
in
such
hast
by
the
high
way
side
,
he
wold
not
stay
to
peruse
any
schedules
,
and
well
he
knew
and
was
assertained
,
that
assoone
as
euer
he
came
into
the
Capitoll
,
the
bloudie
deed
was
to
be
accomplished
.
Shall
I
impart
vnto
you
a
rare
secrecy
how
these
great
famous
Coniurers
and
cunning
men
ascend
by
degrees
to
foretell
secrets
as
they
doo
.
First
and
formost
they
are
men
which
haue
had
some
little
sprinkling
of
Grammer
learning
in
their
youth
;
or
at
least
I
will
allowe
them
to
haue
been
Surgeons
or
Apothecaries
prentises
,
these
I
say
hauing
runne
through
their
thrift
at
the
elbowes
,
and
riotouslie
amongst
harlots
and
make-shifts
spent
the
annuitie
of
halfpennie
ale
that
was
left
them
,
fall
a
beating
their
braynes
how
to
botch
vp
an
easie
gainfull
trade
,
&
set
a
new
nap
on
an
old
occupation
.
Hereupon
presently
they
rake
some
dunghil
for
a
few
durtie
boxes
and
plaisters
,
and
of
tosted
cheese
and
candles
endes
,
temper
vp
a
fewe
oyntments
and
sirrups
:
which
hauing
done
,
farre
North
,
or
into
some
such
rude
simple
countrey
they
get
them
,
and
set
vp
.
Scarce
one
month
haue
they
staid
there
,
but
what
with
their
vaunting
and
prating
,
and
speaking
fustian
in
steede
of
Greeke
,
all
the
Shyres
round
about
do
ring
with
their
fame
:
and
then
they
begin
to
get
them
a
Library
of
three
or
foure
old
rustie
manuscript
books
,
which
they
themselues
nor
anie
els
can
read
;
and
furnish
their
shops
with
a
thousand
quid
pro
quos
,
that
would
choake
anie
horse
:
besides
,
some
wast
trinkets
in
their
chambers
hung
vp
,
which
maye
make
the
world
halfe
in
iealouzie
they
can
coniure
.
They
will
euermore
talke
doubtfully
,
as
if
there
were
more
in
them
than
they
meant
to
make
publique
,
or
was
appliable
to
euerie
common
mans
capacitie
:
when
God
bee
their
rightfull
Iudges
,
they
vtter
all
that
they
know
and
a
great
deale
more
.
To
knit
vp
their
knaueries
in
short
,
which
in
sooth
is
the
hang-mans
office
,
&
nones
els
)
hauing
pickt
vp
theyr
crummes
thus
pretely
well
in
the
Countrey
,
they
drawe
after
a
time
a
little
neerer
and
neerer
to
London
;
and
at
length
into
London
they
filtch
themselues
priuely
:
but
how
?
Not
in
the
hart
of
the
Cittie
will
they
presume
at
first
dash
to
hang
out
their
rat-banners
,
but
in
the
skirtes
and
out-shifts
steale
out
a
signe
ouer
a
Coblers
stall
,
lyke
Aqua
vitae-sellers
and
stocking
menders
.
Manie
pore
people
they
win
to
beleeue
in
them
,
who
haue
not
a
barreld
Herring
or
a
peece
of
poore
Iohn
that
lookes
ill
on
it
,
but
they
will
bring
the
water
that
he
was
steept
in
vnto
them
in
an
vrinall
,
&
craue
their
iudgment
whether
he
be
rotten
,
or
merchant
&
chapmanable
or
no.
The
brute
of
their
cunning
thus
traueling
from
alehouse
to
Ale-house
,
at
length
is
transported
in
the
great
hiltes
of
one
or
other
countrey
Seruing-mans
sword
to
some
good
Tauerne
or
Ordinarie
:
where
it
is
no
sooner
arriued
,
but
it
is
greedily
snatcht
vp
by
some
dappert
Mounsier
Diego
,
who
liues
by
telling
of
newes
,
&
false
dice
,
and
it
may
be
hath
a
pretie
insight
into
the
cardes
also
,
together
with
a
little
skill
in
his
Iacobs
staffe
,
and
hys
Compasse
:
being
able
at
all
times
to
discouer
a
new
passage
to
Virginia
.
This
needie
Gallaunt
(
with
the
qualities
aforesaid
)
straight
trudgeth
to
some
Noble-mans
to
dinner
,
&
there
enlargeth
the
rumor
of
this
newe
Phisition
,
comments
vpon
euerie
glasse
and
violl
that
he
hath
,
rayleth
on
our
Galenists
and
calls
them
dull
gardners
and
hay-makers
in
a
mans
belly
,
compares
them
to
dogs
,
who
when
they
are
sick
eate
grasse
,
and
saies
they
are
no
better
than
pack
or
malthorses
,
who
if
a
man
shuld
knock
out
their
brains
will
not
goe
out
of
the
beaten
high
way
;
wheras
his
horsleach
will
leap
ouer
the
hedge
&
ditch
of
a
thousand
Dioscorides
and
Hippocrates
and
giue
a
man
twentie
poysons
in
one
,
but
he
would
restore
him
to
perfit
health
.
With
this
strange
tale
the
Noble-man
inflamed
,
desires
to
bee
acquainted
with
him
:
what
does
me
he
,
but
goes
immediately
and
breaks
with
this
mountebanke
,
telling
him
if
he
will
diuide
his
gains
with
him
,
he
will
bring
him
in
custome
with
such
and
such
States
,
and
he
shall
bee
countenanst
in
the
Court
as
he
wold
desire
.
The
hungrie
druggier
,
ambitious
after
preferment
,
agrees
to
any
thing
,
and
to
Court
he
goes
;
where
being
come
to
enterview
,
hee
speaks
nothing
but
broken
English
like
a
French
Doctor
pretending
to
haue
forgotten
his
naturall
tung
by
trauell
,
when
he
hath
neuer
been
farther
than
either
the
Lowe
Countries
or
Ireland
,
inforced
thether
to
flye
either
for
getting
a
maid
with
child
,
or
marrying
two
wiues
.
Suffifeth
he
fet
a
good
face
on
it
,
&
will
sweare
he
can
extract
a
better
Balsamum
out
of
a
chip
than
the
Balm
of
Iudaea
:
yea
,
all
receipts
and
authors
you
can
name
he
syllogizeth
of
,
&
makes
a
pish
at
in
comparison
of
them
he
hath
seen
and
read
:
whose
names
if
you
aske
,
hee
claps
you
in
the
mouth
with
halfe
a
dozen
spruce
titles
,
neuer
til
he
inuented
them
heard
of
by
any
Christian.
But
this
is
most
certaine
,
if
he
be
of
any
sect
,
he
is
a
mettle-bruing
Paracelsian
,
hauing
not
past
one
or
two
Probatums
for
al
diseases
.
But
oafe
he
be
called
to
practise
,
hee
excuseth
it
by
great
cures
he
hath
in
hand
;
&
will
not
encounter
an
infirmity
but
in
the
declining
,
that
his
credit
may
be
more
autentical
or
els
when
by
some
secret
intelligence
hee
is
through
lie
instructed
of
the
whole
processe
of
his
vnrecouerable
extremitie
,
he
comes
grauely
marching
like
a
Iudge
,
and
giues
peremptorie
sentence
of
death
;
whereby
he
is
accounted
a
Prophet
of
deepe
prescience
.
But
how
he
comes
to
be
the
diuells
secretarie
,
all
this
long
tale
vnrips
not
.
In
secret
be
it
spoken
,
he
is
not
so
great
with
the
diuell
as
you
take
it
.
It
may
be
they
are
neere
a
kinne
,
but
yet
you
haue
manie
kindred
that
will
doo
nothing
for
one
another
;
no
more
will
the
diuell
for
him
,
except
it
be
to
damne
him
.
This
is
the
Tittle
est
amen
of
it
:
that
when
he
wexeth
stale
,
and
all
his
pispots
are
crackt
and
wil
no
longer
hold
water
,
he
sets
vp
a
coniuring
schoole
,
and
vndertakes
to
play
the
baud
to
Ladie
Fortune
.
Not
a
thiefe
or
a
cut-purse
,
but
a
man
that
hee
keepes
doth
associate
with
,
&
is
of
their
fraternitie
;
only
that
his
master
when
any
thing
is
stoln
may
tell
who
it
is
that
hath
it
.
In
petie
trifles
hauing
gotten
some
credit
,
great
Peeres
entertaine
him
for
one
of
their
priuie
counsaile
,
and
if
they
haue
anie
daungerous
enterprise
in
hand
they
consult
with
him
about
successe
.
All
malcontents
entending
anie
inuasiue
violence
against
their
Prince
and
Countrey
runne
headlong
to
his
oracle
.
Contrarie
factions
enbosome
vnto
him
their
inwardest
complots
,
whilest
he
like
a
crastie
Iacke
a
both
sides
,
as
if
he
had
a
spirit
still
at
his
elbow
,
reciprooallie
embowelleth
to
the
one
what
the
other
goes
about
;
receiuing
no
intelligence
from
anie
familiar
,
but
their
own
mouths
.
I
assure
you
most
of
our
chiefe
noted
Augurers
and
Soothsayers
in
England
at
this
day
,
by
no
other
Arte
but
this
gaine
their
reputation
.
They
may
verie
well
picke
mens
purses
,
like
the
vnskilfuller
cousning
kind
of
Alchumists
,
with
their
artificiall
and
ceremoniall
Magicke
,
but
no
effect
shall
they
atchieue
thereby
,
though
they
would
hang
themselues
:
the
reason
is
,
the
diuell
of
late
is
growen
a
puritane
,
and
cannot
away
with
anie
ceremonies
;
he
sees
all
Prinees
haue
left
off
their
States
,
and
hee
leaues
off
his
state
too
,
and
will
not
be
inuocated
with
such
solemnity
as
he
was
wont
.
Priuate
and
disguised
he
passeth
too
and
fro
,
and
is
in
a
thousand
places
in
an
houre
.
Faire
words
cannot
anie
longer
beguile
him
,
for
not
a
cue
of
curtsie
will
he
doo
anie
man
,
except
it
be
vpon
a
flat
bill
of
sale
;
and
so
hee
chaffers
with
wysards
and
witches
euerie
howre
.
Now
the
world
is
almost
at
an
end
,
he
hath
left
forme
and
is
all
for
matter
;
and
like
an
Embroyderer
or
a
Tailer
he
maketh
hast
of
worke
against
a
good
time
,
which
is
the
day
of
iudgement
:
therefore
you
goodmen
exorcisers
his
olde
acquaintance
must
pardon
him
,
though
(
as
heretofore
)
he
stay
not
to
dwell
vpon
complements
.
In
diebus
illis
when
Corineus
and
Gogmagog
were
little
boyes
,
I
will
not
gainsaye
but
hee
was
wont
to
iest
and
sport
wyth
countrey
people
,
and
play
the
good
fellowe
amongst
kitchin-wenches
,
sitting
in
an
euening
by
the
fire
side
making
of
possets
,
and
come
a
woing
to
them
in
the
likenes
of
a
cooper
,
or
a
curmogionly
purchaser
:
&
sometimes
he
would
dresse
himselfe
like
a
Barbar
,
&
wash
and
shaue
all
those
that
laye
in
such
a
chamber
:
otherwhile
like
a
stale
cutter
of
Queene
hyue
,
hee
would
iustle
men
in
their
owne
houses
,
pluck
them
out
of
bed
by
the
heeles
,
and
daunce
in
chaynes
from
one
chamber
to
another
:
now
there
is
no
goodnes
in
him
but
miserablenes
and
couetousnes
.
Sooner
he
will
pare
his
nayles
cleanly
,
than
cause
a
man
to
dreame
of
a
pot
of
golde
,
or
a
money
bag
that
is
hid
in
the
eaues
of
a
thatcht
house
.
(
Heere
is
to
bee
noted
,
that
it
is
a
blessed
thing
but
to
dreame
of
gold
,
though
a
man
neuer
haue
it
.
)
Such
a
dreame
is
not
altogether
ridiculous
or
impertinent
,
for
it
keepes
flesh
and
bloud
from
despaire
:
all
other
are
but
as
dust
we
raise
by
our
steps
;
which
awhyle
mounteth
aloft
,
and
annoyeth
our
ey-sight
,
but
presently
disperseth
and
vanisheth
.
Senior
Sathan
when
he
was
a
yong
stripling
,
and
had
not
yet
gotten
perfect
audacitie
to
set
vpon
vs
in
the
day
time
,
was
a
sly
Polititian
in
dreames
;
but
those
dayes
are
gone
with
him
,
and
now
that
he
is
thoroughly
steeled
in
his
scutcherie
,
hee
playes
aboue-boord
boldly
,
&
sweeps
more
stakes
than
euer
he
did
before
.
I
haue
rid
a
false
gallop
these
three
or
foure
pages
:
now
I
care
not
if
I
breathe
mee
,
and
walke
soberly
and
demurely
halfe
a
dozen
turnes
,
like
a
graue
Citizen
going
about
to
take
the
ayre
.
To
make
a
shaft
or
a
bolt
of
this
drumbling
subiect
of
dreames
,
from
whence
I
haue
bin
tost
off
and
on
I
know
not
how
;
this
is
my
definitiue
verdit
:
that
one
may
aswel
by
the
smoke
that
comes
out
of
a
kitchin
gesse
what
meat
is
there
a
broach
,
as
by
paraphrasing
on
smokie
dreames
praeominate
of
future
euents
.
Thus
far
notwithstanding
I
le
goe
with
them
;
Phisitions
by
dreames
may
better
discerne
the
distemperature
of
their
pale
clients
,
than
either
by
vrine
or
ordure
.
He
that
is
inclining
to
a
burning
feuer
shall
dreame
of
frayes
,
lightning
and
thunder
,
of
skirmishing
with
the
diuell
,
and
a
hundred
such
like
.
He
that
is
spiced
wyth
the
gowte
or
the
dropsie
,
frequently
dreameth
of
fetters
&
manacles
,
and
being
put
on
the
bilbowes
,
that
his
legges
are
turned
to
marble
or
adamant
,
and
his
feet
like
the
giants
that
scal'd
heauen
kept
vnder
with
Mount
Ossa
and
Peleon
,
and
earst
while
that
they
are
fast
locked
in
quagmyres
.
I
haue
heard
aged
mumping
beldams
as
they
sat
warming
their
knees
ouer
a
coale
scratch
ouer
the
argument
verie
curiously
,
and
they
would
bid
yong
folks
beware
on
what
day
they
par'd
their
nayles
,
tell
what
luck
euerie
one
should
haue
by
the
day
of
the
weeke
he
was
borne
on
;
show
how
many
yeares
a
man
should
liue
by
the
number
of
wrinkles
on
his
forhead
,
and
stand
descanting
not
a
litle
of
the
difference
in
fortune
when
they
are
turnd
vpward
,
and
when
they
are
bent
downward
;
him
that
had
a
wart
on
his
chin
,
they
would
confidently
assertaine
he
should
haue
no
need
of
anie
of
his
kin
:
marry
they
would
likewise
distinguish
betweene
the
standing
of
the
wart
on
the
right
side
and
on
the
left
.
when
I
was
a
little
childe
,
I
was
a
great
auditor
of
theirs
,
and
had
all
their
witchcrafts
at
my
fingers
endes
,
as
perfit
as
good
morrow
and
good
euen
.
Of
the
signification
of
dreames
,
whole
catalogues
could
I
recyte
of
theirs
,
which
heere
there
is
no
roome
for
:
but
for
a
glannce
to
this
purpose
,
this
I
remember
they
would
verie
soberly
affirme
,
that
if
one
at
supper
eate
birds
,
he
should
dreame
of
flying
;
if
fish
,
of
swimming
;
if
venison
of
hunting
,
and
so
for
the
rest
:
as
thogh
those
birds
,
fish
,
and
venison
beeing
dead
and
disgested
,
did
flie
,
swim
and
hold
their
chase
in
their
braynes
;
or
the
solution
of
our
dreames
should
be
nought
els
but
to
expresse
what
meates
we
eate
ouer-night
.
From
the
vnequall
and
repugnant
mixture
of
contrarious
meates
I
iumpe
with
them
,
manie
of
our
mystie
cogitations
proceede
:
and
euen
as
fire
maketh
yron
like
it selfe
,
so
the
firie
inflammations
of
our
liuer
,
or
stomack
transforme
our
imaginations
to
their
analagie
and
likenesse
.
No
humor
in
generall
in
our
bodies
ouer-flowing
or
abounding
,
but
the
tips
of
our
thoughts
are
dipt
in
hys
tincture
.
And
as
when
a
man
is
readie
to
drowne
,
hee
takes
hold
of
anie
thing
that
is
next
him
:
so
our
flutring
thoughts
,
when
wee
are
drowned
in
deadly
sleepe
,
take
hold
,
and
coessence
themselues
with
anie
ouerboyling
humour
which
fourseth
hiest
in
our
stomackes
.
What
heede
then
is
there
to
be
had
of
dreames
,
that
are
no
more
but
the
confused
giddie
action
of
our
braines
,
made
drunke
with
the
innundation
of
humours
?
Iust
such
like
impostures
as
is
this
Art
of
exposition
of
dreames
,
are
the
artes
of
Phisiognomie
and
Palmestrie
:
wherein
who
beareth
most
palme
and
praise
,
is
the
palpablest
foole
and
Crepundio
.
Liues
there
anie
such
slowe
yce-braind
beefe-witted
gull
,
who
by
the
riueld
barke
or
outward
rynde
of
a
tree
will
take
vpon
him
to
forespeak
how
long
it
shall
stand
,
what
mischances
of
wormes
,
caterpillers
,
boughs
breaking
,
frost
bitings
,
cattells
rubbing
against
,
it
shall
haue
?
As
absurd
is
it
,
by
the
external
branched
seames
or
furrowed
wrinckles
in
a
mans
face
or
hand
,
in
particular
or
generall
to
coniecture
and
foredoome
of
his
fate
.
According
to
euerie
ones
labor
or
exercise
,
the
palme
of
his
hand
is
wrythen
and
pleyted
,
and
euerie
daye
alters
as
he
alters
his
employments
or
pastimes
:
wherfore
well
may
we
collect
,
that
he
which
hath
a
hand
so
brawned
and
enter-lined
,
vseth
such
and
such
toyles
or
recreations
;
but
for
the
minde
or
disposition
,
we
can
no
more
looke
into
through
it
,
than
wee
can
into
a
looking
Glasse
through
the
woodden
case
thereof
.
So
also
our
faces
,
which
sundrie
times
with
surfets
,
greefe
,
studie
,
or
intemperaunce
,
are
most
deformedlye
welked
and
crumpled
;
there
is
no
more
to
bee
gathered
by
their
sharpe
embossed
Ioyners
anticke
worke
,
or
ragged
ouer-hangings
or
pit-falls
;
but
that
they
haue
beene
layd
vp
in
slouens
presse
,
and
with
miscarriage
and
misgouernment
are
so
fretted
and
galled
.
My
owne
experience
is
but
small
,
yet
thus
much
I
can
say
by
his
warrantize
,
that
those
fatall
brands
of
phisiognomie
which
condemne
men
for
fooles
and
for
idiots
,
and
on
the
other
side
for
trecherous
circumuenters
and
false
brothers
,
haue
in
a
hundred
men
I
know
been
verefied
in
the
contrarie
.
So
Socrates
(
the
wisest
man
of
Greece
)
was
censured
by
a
wrinckle-wyzard
for
the
lumpishest
blockehead
that
euer
went
on
two
legs
:
whome
though
the
Philosopher
in
pitie
vouchsafed
with
a
nyce
distinction
of
Art
and
nature
to
rayse
and
recouer
,
when
he
was
vtterly
confounded
with
a
hisse
and
a
laughter
,
yet
sure
his
insolent
simplicity
might
lawfully
haue
su'd
out
his
patent
of
exemption
;
for
hee
was
a
forlorne
creature
,
both
in
discretion
and
wit-craft
.
Will
you
haue
the
summe
of
all
:
some
subtill
humorist
,
to
feede
fantasticke
heads
with
innouations
and
nouelties
,
first
inuented
this
trifling
childish
glose
vppon
dreames
and
phisiognomie
;
wherein
he
stroue
onely
to
boast
himselfe
of
a
pregnant
probable
conceipt
beyonde
philosophie
or
truth
.
Let
but
anie
man
who
is
most
conuersant
in
the
superstition
of
dreames
,
reckon
me
one
that
hath
hapned
iust
;
and
I
le
set
downe
a
hundred
out
of
Histories
,
that
haue
perished
to
foolerie
.
To
come
to
late
dayes
;
Lewes
the
xj
.
dreamt
that
he
swam
in
blood
on
the
toppe
of
the
Alpes
:
which
one
Father
Robert
(
a
holy
Hermit
of
his
time
)
interpreted
to
be
present
death
in
his
next
warres
against
Italy
:
though
hee
liu'd
and
prosperd
in
all
his
enterprises
a
long
whyle
after
,
So
Charles
the
fifth
sayling
to
the
siege
of
Tunis
,
dreamt
that
the
Citie
met
him
on
the
sea
like
an
Argosie
,
and
ouerwhelmed
his
whole
Nauie
:
when
by
Cornelius
Agrippa
the
great
Coniurer
(
who
went
along
with
him
)
it
was
expounded
to
be
the
ouerthrow
of
that
famous
expedition
.
And
thereupon
Agrippa
offred
the
Emperor
(
if
it
pleased
him
)
to
blowe
vp
the
Citie
by
Art
Magicke
in
the
ayre
before
his
eyes
,
without
anie
farther
ieopardie
of
warre
,
or
besieging
.
The
Emperour
vtterly
refused
it
and
said
,
Since
it
was
Gods
warres
against
an
Infidel
,
he
would
neuer
borrow
aid
of
the
diuell
.
Some
haue
memorized
,
that
Agrippa
seeing
his
counsaile
in
that
case
reiected
,
and
that
the
Emperour
(
notwithstanding
his
vnfortunate
presage
)
was
prosperous
and
succesfull
,
within
few
dayes
after
dyed
franticke
and
desperate
.
Alphonso
King
of
Naples
in
like
case
,
before
the
rumor
of
the
French
Kings
comming
into
Italy
,
had
a
vision
in
the
night
presented
vnto
him
of
Aeneas
ghoast
hauing
Turnus
in
chase
,
&
Iuno
Pronuba
comming
betwixt
them
,
and
parting
them
;
whereby
hee
gest
that
by
marriage
their
iarring
Kingdomes
should
be
vnited
:
but
far
otherwise
it
fell
out
,
for
the
Freuch
King
came
indeed
,
and
he
was
driuen
thereby
into
such
a
melancholy
extasie
,
that
he
thought
the
verie
fowles
of
the
ayre
would
snatch
his
Crowne
from
him
;
and
no
bough
or
arbour
that
ouershadowd
him
,
but
enclosed
him
,
and
tooke
him
prisner
;
and
that
not
so
much
but
the
stones
of
the
street
sought
to
iustle
him
out
of
his
Throne
.
These
examples
I
alledge
,
to
proue
there
is
no
certaintie
in
dreames
;
and
that
they
are
but
according
to
our
deuisings
and
meditations
in
the
day
time
.
I
confesse
the
Saintes
and
Martirs
of
the
Primitiue
Church
had
vnfallible
dreames
fore-running
their
ends
,
as
Policarpus
and
other
:
but
those
especially
proceeded
from
heauen
,
and
not
from
anie
vaporous
dreggie
parts
of
our
blood
or
our
braines
.
For
this
cause
the
Turkes
banish
Learning
from
amongst
them
,
because
it
is
euerie
daye
setting
men
together
by
the
eares
,
mouing
straunge
contentions
and
alterations
,
and
making
his
professors
faint
hearted
and
effeminate
.
Much
more
requisite
were
it
that
out
of
our
ciuill
Christian
Common-wcalths
we
seuerely
banish
and
exterminate
those
fabulous
commentaries
on
toyish
fantasies
,
which
feare-benum
&
effeminate
the
harts
of
the
stoutest
,
cause
a
man
without
any
ground
to
be
iealous
of
his
owne
frends
and
his
kinsfolkes
,
and
withdraw
hym
from
the
search
and
insight
into
more
excellent
things
,
to
stand
all
his
whole
life
sifting
and
winnowing
dry
rubbish
chaffe
,
whose
best
bottome
quintessence
prooues
in
the
end
but
sandie
grauell
and
cockle
.
Molestations
and
cares
inough
,
the
ordinarie
course
of
our
life
tythes
of
his
owne
accord
vnto
vs
,
though
we
seeke
not
a
knot
in
a
bulrush
,
or
stuffe
not
our
night
pillowes
with
thistles
to
encrease
our
disturbance
.
In
our
sleepe
wee
are
agasted
and
terrified
,
with
the
disordered
skirmishing
and
conflicting
of
our
sensitiue
faculties
:
yet
with
this
terror
and
agastment
cannot
wee
rest
our selues
satisfide
,
but
we
must
pursue
and
hunt
af●ter
a
further
feare
in
the
recordation
and
too
busie
examining
our
paines
ouer-passed
.
Dreames
in
my
minde
if
they
haue
anie
premonstrances
in
them
,
the
preparatiue
feare
of
that
they
so
premonstrate
and
denounce
,
is
far
worse
than
the
mischiefe
it selfe
by
them
denounced
and
premonstrated
.
So
there
is
no
long
sicknesse
but
is
worse
than
death
,
for
death
is
but
a
blowe
and
awaye
,
whereas
sicknesse
is
like
a
Chancerie
sute
,
which
hangs
two
or
thee
yeare
ere
it
can
come
to
a
iudgement
.
O
a
consumption
is
worse
than
a
Capias
ad
Ligatum
,
to
nothing
can
I
compare
it
better
,
than
to
a
repriue
after
aman
is
condemnd
,
or
to
a
boy
with
his
hoase
about
his
heeles
,
ready
to
be
whipt
,
to
whom
his
master
stands
preaching
a
long
time
all
law
and
no
Gospel
,
ere
he
proceed
to
execution
.
Or
rather
it
is
as
a
man
should
be
rosted
to
death
,
and
melt
away
by
little
and
little
,
whiles
Phisitions
lyke
Cookes
stand
stuffing
him
out
with
hearbes
,
and
basting
him
with
this
oyle
and
that
sirrup
.
I
am
of
the
opinion
,
that
to
be
famisht
to
death
is
farre
better
,
for
his
paine
in
seauen
or
eight
dayes
is
at
an
end
,
whereas
he
that
is
in
a
consumption
,
continues
languishing
manie
yeares
ere
death
haue
mercie
on
him
.
The
next
plague
and
the
neerest
that
I
know
in
affinitie
to
a
consumption
,
is
long
depending
hope
friuolously
defeated
,
than
which
there
is
no
greater
miserie
on
earth
:
&
so
per
consequens
no
men
in
earth
more
miserable
than
courtiers
.
It
is
a
cowardly
feare
that
is
not
resolute
inough
to
despaire
.
It
is
like
a
cowardly
feare
that
is
not
resolute
inough
to
despaire
.
It
is
like
a
pore
hungerstarvd
wretch
at
sea
,
who
still
in
expectation
of
a
good
voyage
,
endures
more
miseries
than
Iob.
He
that
writes
this
can
tell
,
for
he
hath
neuer
had
good
voyage
in
his
life
but
one
,
&
that
was
to
a
fortunate
blessed
Iland
,
nere
those
pinacle
rocks
called
the
Needles
.
O
it
is
a
purified
Continent
,
&
a
fertil
plot
fit
to
seat
another
Paradice
,
where
or
in
no
place
the
image
of
the
ancient
hospitalitie
is
to
be
found
.
While
I
liue
I
will
praise
it
and
extoll
it
,
for
the
true
magnificence
and
continued
honourable
bountie
that
I
saw
there
.
Farre
vnworthie
am
I
to
spend
the
least
breath
of
commendation
in
the
extolling
so
delightfull
and
pleasaunt
a
Tempe
,
or
once
to
consecrate
my
inke
with
the
excellent
mention
of
the
thrice
noble
and
illustrious
Chiefetaine
,
vnder
whom
it
is
flourishingly
gouerned
.
That
rare
ornament
of
our
Countrey
,
learned
Master
Camden
,
whose
desertfull
name
is
vniuersally
admyred
throughout
Christendome
,
in
the
last
repollished
Edition
of
his
Brittania
,
hath
most
elaborate
and
exactly
described
the
souereigne
plenteous
scituation
of
that
I
le
;
as
also
the
inestimable
happines
it
inherites
,
it
beeing
patronizd
and
carefully
protected
by
so
heroicall
and
couragious
a
Commaunder
.
Men
that
haue
neuer
tasted
that
full
spring
of
his
liberalitie
,
wherwith
(
in
my
most
forsaken
extremities
)
right
graciously
hee
hath
deigned
to
reuiue
and
refresh
mee
,
may
rashly
(
at
first
sight
)
implead
me
of
flatterie
,
and
not
esteeme
these
my
feruent
tearmes
as
the
necessary
repaiment
of
due
debt
,
but
words
idly
begotten
with
good
lookes
,
and
in
an
ouer-ioyed
humour
of
vaine
hope
slipt
from
me
by
chance
:
but
therein
they
shall
shewe
themselues
too
vnciuill
iniurious
,
both
to
my
deuoted
obseruant
dutie
,
and
the
condigne
deare
purchased
merite
of
his
glorie
.
Too
base
a
ground
is
this
,
whereon
to
embroyder
the
rich
storie
of
his
eternall
renowme
;
some
longer
lyued
Tractate
I
reserue
for
the
full
blaze
of
his
vertues
,
which
here
onely
in
the
sparkes
I
decypher
.
Manie
embers
of
encumbraunces
haue
I
at
this
time
,
which
forbid
the
bright
flame
of
my
zeale
to
mount
aloft
as
it
would
.
Perforce
I
must
breake
from
it
,
since
other
turbulent
cares
sit
as
now
at
the
stearne
of
my
inuention
.
Thus
I
conclude
with
this
chance-medley
Parenthesis
,
that
whatsoeuer
minutes
intermission
I
haue
of
calmed
content
,
or
least
respite
to
call
my
wits
together
,
principall
and
immediate
proceedeth
from
him
.
Through
him
my
tender
wainscot
Studie
doore
is
deliuered
from
much
assault
and
battrie
:
through
him
I
looke
into
,
and
am
lookt
on
in
the
world
:
from
whence
otherwise
I
were
a
wretched
banished
exile
.
Through
him
all
my
good
(
as
by
a
conduit
head
)
is
conueighed
vnto
me
;
and
to
him
all
my
endeuours
(
like
riuers
)
shall
pay
tribute
as
to
the
Ocean
.
Did
Ouid
entitle
Carus
a
Noble-man
of
Rome
,
the
onely
constant
frend
hee
had
,
in
his
vngratefull
extrusion
amongst
the
Getes
:
and
writ
to
him
thus
,
Qui
quod
es
idverè
Care
vocaris
.
And
in
another
Elegie
,
O
mihi
post
nullos
Care
memorande
sodales
?
Much
more
may
I
acknowledge
all
redundant
prostrate
vassailage
to
the
royall
descended
Familie
of
the
Careys
:
but
for
whom
,
my
spirit
long
ere
this
had
expyred
,
and
my
pen
seru'd
as
a
puniard
to
gall
my
owne
hart
.
Why
doo
I
vse
so
much
circumstance
,
and
in
a
streame
on
which
none
but
gnats
and
flies
doo
swimme
,
sound
Fames
trumpet
like
Triton
,
to
call
a
number
of
foolish
skiffes
and
light
cock-boates
toparley
?
Feare
(
if
I
be
not
deceiud
)
was
the
last
pertinent
matter
I
had
vnder
my
displing
;
from
which
I
feare
I
haue
strayed
beyond
my
limits
:
and
yet
feare
hath
no
limits
,
for
to
hell
and
beyond
hell
,
it
sinkes
downe
and
penetrates
.
But
this
was
my
position
,
that
the
feare
of
anie
expected
cuill
,
is
worse
than
the
euill
it selfe
;
which
by
dyuers
comparisons
I
confirmed
.
Now
to
visions
and
apparitions
againe
,
as
fast
as
I
can
trudge
.
The
glasses
of
our
sight
(
in
the
night
)
are
like
the
prospectiue
glasses
one
Hostius
made
in
Rome
,
which
represented
the
images
of
things
farre
greater
than
they
were
:
each
moate
in
the
darke
they
make
a
monster
,
and
euerie
sleight
glimmering
a
giant
.
Asolitarie
man
in
his
bed
,
is
like
a
poore
bed-red
lazer
lying
by
the
high
way
side
;
vnto
whose
displaied
wounds
and
sores
a
number
of
stinging
flyes
doo
swarme
for
pastance
and
beuerage
:
his
naked
wounds
are
his
inward
hart-griping
woes
,
the
waspes
and
flyes
his
idle
wandering
thoughts
;
who
to
that
secret
smarting
paine
he
hath
alreadie
,
do
adde
a
further
sting
of
impatience
,
and
new
lanch
his
sleeping
griefes
and
vexations
.
Questionlesse
this
is
an
vnrefutable
consequence
,
that
the
man
who
is
mocked
of
his
fortune
;
he
that
hath
consumed
his
braines
to
compasse
prosperitie
,
and
meetes
with
no
counteruaylement
in
hir
likenesse
,
but
hedge
wine
and
leane
mutton
,
and
peraduenture
some
halfe
eid
good
looks
that
can
hardly
be
discerned
from
winking
;
this
poore
piteous
perplexed
miscreant
either
finallie
lie
despaire
;
or
like
a
lanke
frost-bitten
plant
looseth
hys
vigor
or
spirit
by
little
and
little
:
anie
terror
,
the
least
illusion
in
the
earth
,
is
a
Cacodaemon
vnto
him
.
His
soule
hath
left
his
bodie
;
for
why
,
it
is
flying
after
these
ayrie
incorporeate
Courtly
promises
,
and
glittring
painted
allurements
;
which
when
they
vanish
to
nothing
,
it
lykewise
vanisheth
with
them
.
Excessiue
ioy
no
lesse
hath
his
desectiue
and
ioylesse
operations
,
the
spleene
into
water
it
melteth
▪
so
that
except
it
be
some
momentarie
bubbles
of
mirth
,
nothing
it
yeelds
but
a
cloying
surfet
of
repentance
.
Diuers
instances
haue
we
of
men
,
whom
too
much
sodaine
coment
and
ouer-rauished
delight
hath
brought
vntimely
to
their
graues
.
Foure
or
fiue
I
haue
read
of
,
whom
the
very
extremitie
of
laughter
hath
bereft
of
their
liues
:
whereby
I
gather
,
that
euen
such
another
pernitious
sweete
,
superfluous
mirth
is
to
the
sence
,
as
a
surfet
of
honnie
to
a
mans
stomacke
,
than
the
which
there
is
nothing
more
dangerous
.
Bee
it
as
dangerous
as
it
will
,
it
cannot
but
be
an
easie
kinde
of
death
.
It
is
like
one
that
is
stung
with
an
Aspis
,
who
in
the
midst
of
his
paine
falls
delighted
asleepe
,
and
in
that
suauitie
of
slumber
surrenders
the
ghost
:
whereas
hee
whom
greefe
vndertakes
to
bring
to
his
end
,
hath
his
hart
gnawenin
sunder
by
little
&
little
with
vultures
,
like
Prometheus
.
But
this
is
nothing
(
you
will
obiect
)
to
our
iourneys
ende
of
apparitions
.
Yes
,
altogether
:
for
of
the
ouerswelling
superabundance
of
ioy
and
greefe
,
wee
frame
to
our selues
most
of
our
melancholy
dreames
and
visions
.
There
is
an
olde
philosophicall
common
Prouerbe
,
Vnusquisque
fingit
fortunam
sibi
,
Euerie
one
shapes
hys
owne
fortune
as
he
lists
.
More
aptly
may
it
be
said
,
Euerie
one
shapes
his
owne
feares
and
fancies
as
he
list
.
In
all
points
our
brains
are
like
the
firmament
,
and
exhale
in
euerie
respect
the
like
grose
mistempred
vapors
and
meteors
;
of
the
more
foeculent
combustible
ayrie
matter
whereof
,
afrighting
formes
and
monstrous
images
innumerable
are
created
:
but
of
the
slymie
vnweeldier
drossie
part
,
dull
melancholy
or
drousines
.
And
as
the
firmament
is
still
moouing
and
working
,
so
vncessant
is
the
wheeling
and
rolling
on
of
our
braines
;
which
euerie
hower
are
tempring
some
newe
peece
of
prodigie
or
other
,
and
turmoyling
,
mixing
and
changing
the
course
of
our
thoughts
.
I
write
not
this
,
for
that
I
thinke
there
are
no
true
apparitios
or
prodigies
;
but
to
shew
how
easily
we
may
be
flouted
if
we
take
not
great
heed
,
with
our
own
anticke
suppositions
.
I
will
tell
you
a
strange
tale
tending
to
this
nature
:
whether
of
true
melancholy
or
true
apparition
,
I
will
not
take
vpon
me
to
determine
.
It
was
my
chance
in
Februarie
last
to
be
in
the
Countrey
some
threescore
myle
off
from
London
;
where
a
Gentleman
of
good
worship
and
credit
falling
sicke
,
the
verie
second
day
of
his
lying
downe
,
hee
pretended
to
haue
miraculous
waking
visions
:
which
before
I
enter
to
describe
,
thus
much
I
will
informe
ye
by
the
way
,
that
at
the
reporting
of
them
he
was
in
perfect
memorie
;
nor
had
sicknes
yet
so
tirannizd
ouer
him
to
make
his
tongue
grow
idle
.
A
wise
graue
sensible
man
he
was
euer
reputed
,
and
so
approou'd
himselfe
in
all
his
actions
in
his
life
time
.
This
which
I
deliuer
(
with
manie
preparatiue
protestations
)
to
a
great
Man
of
this
Land
hee
confidently
avouched
:
beleeue
it
or
condemn
it
,
as
you
shal
see
cause
,
for
I
leaue
it
to
be
censured
in
differently
.
The
first
day
of
his
distemprature
,
he
visibly
saw
(
as
he
affirmed
)
al
his
chamber
hung
with
silken
nets
and
siluer
hookes
,
the
diuell
(
as
it
should
seeme
)
comming
thether
a
fishing
;
whereupon
euery
Pater
noster
while
he
lookt
whether
in
the
nets
he
should
be
entangled
,
or
with
the
hookes
ensnared
;
with
the
nets
he
feard
to
be
strangled
or
smothred
,
&
with
the
hooks
to
haue
his
throat
scracht
out
,
and
his
flesh
rent
and
mangled
:
at
length
,
he
knew
not
how
they
sodainly
vanished
,
and
the
whole
chamber
was
clered
.
Next
a
copanie
of
lusty
sailers
(
euerie
one
a
sharker
or
a
swaggerer
at
the
least
)
hauing
made
a
braue
voyage
,
came
carousing
and
quaffing
in
large
siluer
kans
to
his
helth
.
Fellowes
they
were
that
had
good
big
pop
mouths
to
crie
Port
a
helme
Saint
George
,
and
knew
as
well
as
the
best
what
belongs
to
haling
of
bolings
yare
,
and
falling
on
the
star-boord
buttocke
.
But
to
the
issue
of
my
tale
:
their
drunken
proffers
he
vtterly
put
by
,
and
sayd
hee
highly
scorned
and
detested
both
them
and
their
hellish
disguisings
:
which
notwithstanding
,
they
tost
their
cups
to
the
skies
,
and
reeled
and
staggered
vp
and
downe
the
roome
like
a
ship
shaking
in
the
winde
.
After
all
they
danst
Lustie
gallant
,
&
a
drunken
Danish
Laualto
or
two
,
and
so
departed
.
For
the
third
course
,
rust
tin
a
number
of
statcly
diuels
,
bringing
in
boystrous
chests
of
massie
tresure
betwixt
the.
As
braue
they
were
as
Turkish
Ianissaries
,
hauing
their
apparel
alll
powdred
with
gold
and
pearle
,
and
their
armes
as
it
were
bemayled
with
rich
chaynes
and
bracelets
;
but
faces
far
blacker
than
anie
ball
of
Tobacco
,
great
glaring
eyes
that
had
whole
shelues
of
Kentish
oysters
in
them
,
and
terrible
wyde
mouthes
,
whereof
not
one
of
them
,
but
would
well
haue
made
a
case
for
Molenax
great
Gloabe
of
the
world
.
These
louely
youths
and
full
of
fauour
,
hauing
stalkt
vp
and
downe
the
iust
measures
of
a
sinkapace
,
opened
one
of
the
principall
chests
they
brought
,
and
out
of
it
pluckt
a
Princely
royall
Tent
,
whose
empearled
shining
canopie
they
quickly
aduaunced
on
hie
,
and
with
all
artificiall
magnificence
adorned
like
a
state
:
which
performed
,
pompous
Lucifer
entred
,
imitating
in
goodly
stature
the
huge
picture
of
Laocoon
at
Rome
:
who
sent
vnto
him
agallant
Embassadour
,
signifying
thus
much
,
that
if
hee
would
serue
him
,
hee
should
haue
all
the
rich
treasure
that
he
saw
there
,
or
anie
farther
wealth
hee
would
desire
.
The
Gentleman
returned
this
milde
aunswere
,
that
he
knew
not
what
he
was
,
whether
an
Angell
or
a
wicked
seend
:
and
if
an
Angell
,
he
was
but
his
fellow
seruant
,
and
no
otherwise
to
be
serued
or
regarded
;
if
a
fiend
or
a
diuell
,
hee
had
nothing
to
doo
with
him
,
for
God
had
exalted
and
redeemed
him
aboue
his
desperate
out-cast
condition
,
and
a
strong
faith
he
had
to
defie
&
with-stand
all
his
iugling
temptations
.
Hauing
vttered
these
words
,
all
the
whole
traine
of
them
inuisibly
auoyded
,
and
hee
neuer
set
eye
on
them
after
.
Then
did
ther
for
the
third
pageant
present
themselues
vnto
him
,
an
inueigling
troupe
of
naked
Virgins
,
thrice
more
amiable
and
beautifull
than
the
bright
Vessals
,
that
brought
in
Augustus
Testament
to
the
Senate
,
after
hys
decease
:
but
no
Vestall-like
Ornament
had
they
about
them
;
for
from
top
to
toe
bare
despoyled
they
were
,
except
some
one
or
two
of
them
that
ware
maskes
before
their
faces
,
and
had
transparent
azur'd
lawne
veyles
before
the
chiefe
iewell
houses
of
their
honors
.
Such
goodly
lustfull
Bonarobaes
they
were
(
by
his
report
)
as
if
anie
sharpe
eyd
Painter
had
been
there
to
peruse
them
,
he
might
haue
learned
to
exceed
diuine
Mihel
Angclo
in
the
true
boske
of
a
naked
,
or
curious
Tuns
in
quicke
life
,
whom
the
great
masters
of
that
Art
do
terme
the
sprightly
old
man
.
Their
haire
they
ware
loose
vnrowled
about
their
shoulders
,
whose
dangling
amber
trammells
reaching
downe
beneath
their
knees
,
seemed
to
drop
baulme
on
their
delicious
bodies
;
and
euer
as
they
moou'd
too
and
fro
,
with
their
light
windye
wauings
,
wantonly
to
correct
their
exquisite
mistresses
.
Their
daintie
feete
in
their
tender
birdlike
trippings
,
enameld
(
as
it
were
)
the
dustie
ground
;
and
their
odoriferous
breath
more
perfumed
the
aire
,
than
Ordinance
would
,
that
is
charged
with
Amomum
,
Muske
,
Cyuet
,
and
Amber-greece
.
But
to
leaue
amplifications
,
and
proceed
:
those
sweet
bewitching
naked
maides
,
hauing
maiestically
paced
about
the
chamber
,
to
the
end
their
naturall
vnshelled
shining
mother
pearle
proportions
might
be
more
imprintingly
apprehended
,
close
to
his
bed-side
modestly
blushing
they
approched
,
&
made
impudent
profer
vnto
him
of
theyr
lasciuious
embraces
.
He
obstinatly
bent
to
withstand
these
their
sinfull
allurements
no
lesse
than
the
former
,
bad
them
goe
seek
entertainment
of
hotter
bloods
,
for
he
had
not
to
satisfie
them
.
A
cold
comfort
was
this
to
poore
wenches
no
better
cloathed
,
yet
they
hearing
what
to
trust
too
,
verie
sorrowfully
retyred
,
and
shrunk
away
.
Lo
in
the
fourth
Act
there
sallied
out
a
graue
assembly
of
sober
attyred
Matrones
,
much
like
the
Virgines
of
Marie
Magdalens
order
in
Rome
,
which
vowe
neuer
to
see
man
;
or
the
chast
daughters
of
Saint
Philip.
With
no
incontinent
curtesie
did
they
greete
him
,
but
tolde
him
,
if
so
hee
thought
good
they
would
praye
for
him
.
Therupon
,
from
the
beginning
to
the
ending
he
vnfolded
vnto
them
,
how
he
had
been
mightely
hanted
with
wicked
illusions
of
late
:
but
neuertheles
,
if
he
could
be
perswaded
that
they
were
Angels
or
Saintes
,
their
inuocations
could
not
hurt
him
;
yea
,
he
would
adde
his
desire
to
their
requestes
,
to
make
their
prayers
more
penetrably
enforcing
.
Without
further
parley
,
vppon
their
knees
they
fell
most
deuoutly
,
and
for
halfe
an
hower
neuer
ceased
extensiuely
to
intercessionate
GOD
for
his
speedie
recouerie
.
Rising
vp
agayne
on
the
right
hand
of
his
bed
,
there
appeared
a
cleare
light
,
and
with
that
he
might
perceiue
a
naked
slender
foote
offring
to
steale
betwixt
the
sheets
in
to
him
.
At
which
instant
,
entred
a
messenger
from
a
Knight
of
great
honour
thereabouts
,
who
sent
him
a
most
precious
extract
quintessence
to
drinke
:
which
no
sooner
he
tasted
,
but
he
thought
hee
saw
all
the
fore-named
Enterluders
at
once
,
hand
ouer
head
leap
,
plunge
,
&
drowne
themselues
in
puddles
and
ditches
hard
by
,
and
hee
felt
perfect
ease
.
But
long
it
lasted
not
with
him
,
for
within
foure
howers
after
,
hauing
not
fully
settled
his
estate
in
order
,
hee
grewe
to
trifling
dotage
and
rauing
dyde
within
two
daies
following
.
God
is
my
witnesse
,
in
all
this
relation
,
I
borrowe
no
essential
part
from
stretcht
out
inuention
,
nor
haue
I
one
iot
abusde
my
informations
;
onely
for
the
recreation
of
my
Readers
,
whom
loath
to
tyre
with
a
course
home-spunne
tale
,
that
should
dull
them
woorse
than
Holland
cheese
,
heere
and
there
I
welt
and
garde
it
with
allusiue
exornations
&
comparisons
:
and
yet
me
thinks
it
comes
off
too
goutie
and
lumbring
.
Bee
it
as
it
will
,
it
is
lyke
to
haue
no
more
allowaunce
of
English
for
mee
.
If
the
world
will
giue
it
anie
allowaunce
of
truth
,
so
it
is
:
For
then
I
hope
my
excuse
is
alreadye
lawfullye
customed
and
authorized
;
since
Truth
is
euer
drawne
and
painted
naked
,
and
I
haue
lent
her
but
a
leathren
patcht
cloake
at
most
to
keepe
her
from
the
cold
:
that
is
,
that
she
come
not
off
too
lamely
and
coldly
.
Vpon
the
accidentall
occasion
of
this
dreame
or
apparition
,
(
call
or
miscall
it
what
you
will
,
for
it
is
yours
as
freely
as
anie
wast
paper
that
euer
you
had
in
your
liues
)
was
this
Pamphlet
(
no
bigger
than
an
old
Praeface
)
speedily
botcht
vp
and
compyled
.
Are
there
anie
doubts
which
remaine
in
your
mynde
vndigested
,
as
touching
this
incredible
Narration
I
haue
vnfolded
?
well
,
doubt
you
not
,
but
I
am
milde
and
tractable
,
and
will
resolue
you
in
what
I
may
.
First
,
the
house
where
this
Gentleman
dwelt
,
stood
in
a
low
marish
ground
,
almost
as
rotten
a
Clymate
as
the
Lowe
Countreyes
;
where
their
mystie
ayre
is
as
thicke
as
mould
butter
,
and
the
deaw
lyes
like
froathie
barme
on
the
ground
.
It
was
noted
ouer
and
besides
to
haue
been
an
vnluckie
house
to
all
his
predecessors
,
scituate
in
a
quarter
not
altogether
exempted
from
witches
.
The
abrupt
falling
into
his
sicknesse
was
suspitious
,
proceeding
from
no
apparant
surfet
or
misdiet
.
The
outragious
tyrannie
of
it
in
so
short
a
time
,
bred
thrice
more
admiration
and
wonder
,
and
his
sodaine
death
incontinent
ensuing
vppon
that
his
disclosed
dreame
or
vision
,
might
seeme
some
probable
reason
to
confirme
it
;
since
none
haue
such
palpable
dreames
or
visions
,
but
die
presently
after
.
The
like
to
this
was
Master
Allingtons
vision
in
the
beginning
of
her
Maiesties
raigne
;
than
the
which
there
is
nothing
more
ordinarilie
bruted
.
Through
Greeke
and
Romane
common-places
to
this
purport
I
could
runne
,
if
I
were
disposed
to
vaunt
my selfe
like
a
ridiculous
Pedant
,
of
deepe
reading
in
Fulgosius
,
Licosthenes
,
and
Valerius
.
Goe
no
farther
than
the
Court
,
and
they
will
tell
you
of
a
mightie
worthie
man
of
this
Land
;
who
riding
in
his
Coatch
from
London
to
his
house
,
was
all
the
waye
haunted
with
a
couple
of
Hogges
,
who
followed
him
close
,
and
doo
what
his
men
could
they
might
not
driue
them
from
him
:
wherefore
at
night
hee
caused
them
to
be
shut
vp
in
a
barne
,
and
commanded
milke
to
be
giuen
them
;
the
barne
dore
was
lockt
,
and
the
key
safely
kept
,
yet
were
they
gone
by
morning
,
and
no
man
knew
how
.
A
number
of
men
there
be
yet
liuing
,
who
haue
been
haunted
by
their
wiues
after
their
death
,
about
forswearing
themselues
,
and
vndooing
their
children
,
of
whom
they
promised
to
be
carefull
fathers
:
whereof
I
can
gather
no
reason
but
this
,
that
Women
are
borne
to
torment
a
man
both
aliue
and
dead
.
I
haue
heard
of
others
likewise
,
that
beside
these
night
terrors
,
haue
been
(
for
whole
months
together
whether
soeuer
they
went
or
rid
)
pursued
by
wesels
and
rats
,
and
oftentimes
with
squirrels
and
hares
;
that
in
the
traueling
of
three
hundred
myle
,
haue
still
wayted
on
their
horse
heeles
.
But
those
are
onely
the
exploytes
and
stratagems
of
witches
,
which
may
well
astonish
a
little
at
first
sight
,
but
if
a
man
haue
the
least
heart
or
spirite
to
with-stand
one
fierce
blast
of
their
brauadoes
,
he
shall
see
them
shrinke
faster
than
Northren
cloath
,
and
outstrip
time
in
dastardly
flight
.
Fie
,
fie
,
was
euer
poore
fellow
so
farre
benighted
in
an
old
wiues
tale
of
diuells
and
vrchins
.
Out
vpon
it
,
I
am
wearie
of
it
,
for
it
hath
caused
such
a
thicke
fulsome
Serena
to
descend
on
my
braine
,
that
now
my
penne
makes
blots
as
broad
as
a
furd
stomacher
,
and
my
muse
inspyres
me
to
put
out
my
candle
and
goe
to
bed
:
and
yet
I
wyll
not
neyther
,
till
after
all
these
nights
reuells
,
I
haue
solemnly
bid
you
good
night
:
as
much
to
saye
,
as
tell
you
how
you
shall
haue
a
good
night
,
and
sleep
quietly
without
affrightment
and
annoyance
.
First
and
formost
drinke
moderately
,
and
dice
and
drabbe
not
away
your
money
prodigally
,
and
then
forsweare
your selues
to
borrow
more
.
You
that
be
pore
mens
children
,
know
your
own
fathers
;
&
though
you
can
shift
&
cheate
your selues
into
good
cloathes
here
about
Towne
;
yet
bow
your
knees
to
their
leathern
bagges
and
russet
coates
,
that
they
may
blesse
you
from
the
ambition
of
Tiburne
.
You
that
beare
the
name
of
souldiers
,
and
liue
baselie
swaggering
in
euerie
ale-house
,
hauing
no
other
exhibition
but
from
harlots
and
strumpets
;
seeke
some
newe
trade
,
and
leaue
whoring
and
quarrelling
,
least
besides
the
nightly
guilt
of
your
owne
banqurout
consciences
,
Bridewell
or
Newgate
prooue
the
ende
of
your
caueleering
.
You
,
whosoeuer
or
wheresoeuer
you
be
,
that
liue
by
spoyling
and
ouer-reaching
yong
Gentlemen
,
and
make
but
a
sport
to
deride
their
simplicities
to
their
vndooing
,
to
you
the
Night
at
one
time
or
other
will
proue
terrible
,
except
you
foorthwith
thinke
on
restitution
:
or
if
you
haue
not
your
Night
in
this
world
,
you
will
haue
it
in
hell
.
You
that
are
married
and
haue
wiues
of
your
owne
,
and
yet
hold
too
nere
frendship
with
your
neighbours
;
set
vp
your
rests
,
that
the
Night
will
be
an
il
neighbour
to
your
rest
,
and
that
you
shall
haue
as
little
peace
of
minde
as
the
rest
.
Therefore
was
Troy
burnt
by
night
,
because
Paris
by
night
prostituted
Helena
,
and
wrought
such
treson
to
Prince
Menclaus
.
You
that
are
Macheuilian
vaine
fooles
,
and
thinke
it
no
wit
or
pollicie
but
to
vowe
and
protest
what
you
neuer
meane
,
that
trauell
for
nothing
els
but
to
learne
the
vices
of
other
countries
,
and
disfigure
the
ill
English
faces
that
God
hath
giuen
you
with
Tuscan
glickes
and
apish
trickes
;
the
night
is
for
you
with
a
black
saunt
or
a
matachine
,
except
you
presently
turne
and
conuert
to
the
simplicitie
you
were
borne
too
.
You
that
can
cast
a
man
into
an
Italian
ague
when
you
list
,
and
imitate
with
your
diet
drinkes
anie
disease
or
infirmitie
,
the
night
likewise
hath
an
infernall
to
act
before
yee
.
Traitors
that
by
night
meete
and
consult
how
to
walke
in
the
day
vndiscouered
,
&
thinke
those
words
of
Christ
vainly
spoken
,
There
is
nothing
done
in
secret
but
shal
be
reuealed
and
laid
open
:
to
you
no
lesse
the
night
shal
be
as
a
night
owle
to
vexe
and
torment
you
.
And
finallie
,
O
you
Iudges
and
Magistrates
,
if
there
bee
anye
amongest
you
,
that
doo
wrest
all
the
Lawe
into
their
owne
hands
,
by
drawing
and
receyuing
euery
mans
money
into
their
hands
,
and
making
newe
golden
lawes
of
their
owne
,
which
no
Prince
nor
Parliament
euer
dreamed
of
;
that
looke
as
iust
as
Iehouah
by
daye
,
enthronizing
graue
zeale
and
religion
on
the
eleuated
whites
of
their
eyes
,
when
by
night
corrupt
gifts
and
rewards
rush
in
at
their
gates
in
whole
Armies
,
like
Northren
Carriers
comming
to
their
Inne
;
that
in
steede
of
their
bookes
turne
ouer
their
bribes
,
for
the
deciding
of
causes
,
adiudging
him
the
best
right
,
that
brings
the
richest
present
vnto
them
.
If
anie
such
there
be
I
say
,
as
in
our
Common-wealth
I
know
none
,
but
haue
read
of
in
other
States
,
let
them
looke
to
haue
a
number
of
vnwelcome
Clients
of
their
owne
accusing
thoughts
and
imaginations
,
that
will
betray
them
in
the
night
to
euery
idle
feare
and
illusion
.
Therefore
are
the
terrors
of
the
night
more
than
of
the
day
,
because
the
sinnes
of
the
night
surmount
the
sinnes
of
the
day
.
By
night
time
came
the
Deluge
ouer
the
face
of
the
whole
earth
;
by
night
time
Iudas
betrayed
Christ
;
Tarquin
rauisht
Lucretia
.
When
anie
Poet
would
describe
a
horrible
Tragicall
accident
;
to
adde
the
more
probabilitie
&
credence
vnto
it
,
he
disinally
beginneth
to
tell
,
how
it
was
darke
night
when
it
was
done
,
and
cheerfull
daylight
had
quite
abandoned
the
firmament
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
sinne
generally
throughout
the
scripture
is
called
the
workes
of
darknesse
;
for
neuer
is
the
diuell
so
busie
as
then
,
and
then
he
thinkes
he
may
aswel
vndiscouered
walke
abroad
,
as
homicides
and
outlawes
.
Had
we
no
more
Religion
than
we
might
deriue
from
heathen
fables
;
me
thinkes
those
dolefull
Querristers
of
the
night
,
the
Scritch-owle
,
the
Nightingale
,
and
croking
Frogs
,
might
ouer-awe
vs
from
anie
insolent
transgression
at
that
time
.
The
first
for
her
lauish
blabbing
of
forbidden
secrets
,
being
for
euer
ordayned
to
be
a
blabbe
of
ill
newes
and
misfortune
,
still
is
crying
out
in
our
eares
,
that
we
are
mortall
,
and
must
die
:
the
second
puts
vs
in
minde
of
the
end
and
punishment
of
lust
&
rauishment
;
and
the
third
and
last
,
that
we
are
but
slyme
&
mud
,
such
as
those
watrie
creatures
are
bred
of
:
and
therfore
why
should
we
delight
to
adde
more
to
our
slyme
&
corruption
,
by
extraordinarie
surfets
and
drunkennes
.
But
these
are
nothing
neither
in
comparison
:
for
hee
whom
in
the
day
heauen
cannot
exhale
,
the
night
wil
neuer
helpe
:
she
onely
pleading
for
her
old
grandmother
hell
,
as
well
as
the
day
for
heauen
.
Thus
I
shut
vp
my
Treatise
abruptly
,
that
hee
who
in
the
daye
doth
not
good
woorkes
inough
to
answere
the
obiections
of
the
night
,
will
hardly
aunswere
at
the
daye
of
iudgement
.
