his

Salomon
was
so
,
a

a

:
for
howsoeuer
the

goeth

yet
Dauid
by

obtained
this

,
to
haue
a

himselfe
,
a
sonne
by

,
and
a

King
Dauid
delighted
to
teach
transgressours

might
be
conuerted
:
Ps.

so
King
Salomon
wrote
to
make
men
know
wisdome
and
instruction
,
and
to
perceiue
the
words
of
vnderstanding
,
how
men
should
liue
according
to
the
truth
of
knowledge
:
direct
their
intentions
,
and
gouerne
their
actions
:
For
God
shall
bring
euery
worke
into

,
with
euery
secret
thing
,
whether
it
be
good
or
whether
it

Nothing
so
deceiueth
men
,
as
to
be
ignorant
of
the
paces
of
their
life
,
and
to
promise
long
times
to
themselues
;
vnlesse
we
thinke
vpon
death
we
can
neuer
fashion
our selues
to
a
godly
life
.
Repentance
hath
no
such
enemie
,
as
to
thinke
that
any
time
will
serue
to
repent
,
Hardly
can
a
man
think
of
a
short
life
here
and
thinke
euill
,
or
of
a
long
life
and
thinke
well
.
The
act
of
liuing
well
is
very
long
,
but
life
it selfe
short
,
and
God
would
haue
the
time
of
death
vnknowne
vnto
vs
,
because
wee
should
be
ready
for
him
at
all
times
,
hauing
no
more
certainty
of
one
houre
then
another
,
yet
Salomons

shall
make
vs

we
remember
a

to
be
borne
,

is

and
seeing
we
were
borne
to
glorifie

wee
should
labour
that
after

wee
may
liue

her
a

The

God
hath
appointed
the

short

in

prosperity

aduersity
in

that
our

may

If

how

and
if
the
short
plagues
of

life
are
feared
;
how
much
more
those
of
another
?
A
little

we
haue
,
that
by
little
consolations
we
may
be
inuited
to
glory
,

by
small
troubles
feare
greater

A

our
troubles

Aduersity

Nothing

the

appeares
in

seeing
the

that

began
to

Deaths
remembrance
brings
horror

O
death
how
bitter
is
the
remembrance
of
thee
,
to
a
man
that
liueth
at

is
not
so
much
to

the

by

to

It

was
great
to

,
Hier.

so
that
pectus

Bibliothecam

,
he
made
his
breast
a
library
to
Christ
to
be
bound
vp
there
:
Hereby
he
learned
to
carry
himselfe
so
temperatly
and
fairely
,
knowing
that
the
Hill
of
greatnesse
howsouer
it
yeeld
a
delighfull

yet
is
subiect
to

,
remembring
that
he
was
to
giue
his
account
to
him
that
is
Iudex

,
from
whom
there
is
no
appeale
:
and
howsoeuer
many
opportunities
of
bribes
,
letters
,
and
other
engines
of
corruptions
were
offered
him
some
times
,
he
kept
his
hands
cleane
,
because
he
had
a
pure
heart
.
This
made
him
reioyce
in
the
the
testimony
of
a

,

as
he
professed

was

,
then
Adam
was
in
memore
,
in
the
midst
of

,
That
his
heart
reproched
them
not
.
It
maketh
a
man
though
he
had
Giges
ring
to
walke
without
the
controlement
of
any
eye
,
to
walke
vprightly
.
He
was
often
desired
not
to
trouble
himselfe
so
much
in
his
place
of
Iudicature
,
but
to
suffer
Surrogates
to
dispatch
businesse
for
him
,
which
hee
seldome
did
,
saying
,
I
will
do
what
I
