A
CYPRESSE
GROVE
.
THough
it
hath
beene
doubted
if
there
be
in
the
Soule
such
imperious
and
superexcellent
Power
,
as
that
it
can
by
the
vehement
&
earnest
working
of
it
,
deliuer
knowledge
to
another
without
bodily
Organes
,
&
by
the
onely
Conceptions
and
Ideas
of
it
produce
reall
Effects
;
yet
it
hath
beene
euer
and
of
all
held
as
infallible
and
most
certaine
,
that
it
often
(
either
by
outward
inspiration
,
or
some
secret
motion
in
it selfe
)
is
augure
of
its
owne
Misfortunes
,
and
hath
Shadowes
of
approching
dangers
presented
vnto
it
before
they
fall
forth
.
Hence
so
many
strange
apparitions
and
signes
,
true
Visions
,
vncouth
heauinesse
,
and
causelesse
vncomfortable
languishings
:
of
which
to
seeke
a
reason
,
vnlesse
from
the
sparkling
of
GOD
in
the
Soule
,
or
from
the
God-like
sparkles
of
the
Soule
,
were
to
make
Reason
vnreasonable
,
by
reasoning
of
things
transcending
her
reach
.
Hauing
often
and
diuerse
times
,
when
I
had
giuen
my selfe
to
rest
in
the
quiet
solitarinesse
of
the
Night
,
found
my
Imagination
troubled
with
a
confused
feare
,
no
,
sorrow
,
or
horror
,
which
interrupting
Sleepe
did
astonish
my
senses
,
and
rowse
me
all
appalled
,
and
transported
in
a
suddaine
agonie
and
amazednesse
;
of
such
an
vnaccustomed
perturbation
,
not
knowing
,
nor
being
able
to
diue
into
any
apparent
Cause
,
carried
away
with
the
streame
of
my
(
then
doubting
)
Thoughts
,
I
beganne
to
ascribe
it
to
that
secret
fore-knowledge
and
presaging
Power
of
the
Propheticke
Minde
,
and
to
interpret
such
an
Agonie
to
be
to
the
Spirit
as
a
faintnesse
and
vniversall
wearinesse
vseth
to
be
to
the
Body
,
a
signe
of
following
sicknesse
,
or
as
winter
Lightnings
or
Earth-quakes
are
to
Commonwealthes
and
great
Cities-Herbingers
of
more
wretched
euents
.
Heereupon
not
thinking
it
strange
if
whatsoeuer
is
humaine
should
befall
mee
,
knowing
how
Prouidence
ouercomes
Griefe
,
and
discountenances
Crosses
;
and
that
as
we
should
not
despaire
of
Euils
which
may
happen
vs
,
wee
should
not
bee
too
confident
,
nor
leane
much
to
those
Goods
wee
enjoy
:
I
beganne
to
turne
ouer
in
my
remembrance
all
that
could
afflict
miserable
Mortalitie
,
and
to
forecast
euery
thing
that
with
a
Maske
of
horror
could
show
it
sel●e
to
humaine
Eyes
:
Till
in
the
end
,
as
by
Unities
and
Points
,
Mathematicians
are
brought
to
great
numbers
,
and
huge
greatnesse
,
after
many
fantasticall
glances
of
the
Woes
of
Mankinde
,
and
those
incombrances
which
follow
vpon
Life
,
I
was
brought
to
thinke
,
and
with
amazement
,
on
the
last
of
humaine
Terrors
,
or
(
as
one
termed
it
)
the
last
of
all
dreadfull
and
terrible
Euils
,
Death
.
For
to
easie
censure
it
would
appeare
,
that
the
Soule
,
if
it
fore-see
that
divorcement
which
it
is
to
haue
from
the
Body
,
should
not
without
great
reason
be
thus
ouer-grieued
,
and
plunged
in
inconsolable
and
vnaccustomed
Sorrow
:
considering
their
neare
Vnion
,
long
familiaritie
and
loue
,
with
the
great
change
,
Paine
,
Vglinesse
,
which
are
apprehended
to
be
the
inseparable
attendants
of
Death
.
They
had
their
being
together
,
Parts
they
are
of
one
reasonable
Creature
,
the
harming
of
the
one
,
is
the
weakning
of
the
working
of
the
other
;
what
sweete
contentments
doth
the
Soule
enjoy
by
the
senses
?
They
are
the
Gates
and
Windowes
of
its
Knowledge
,
the
Organes
of
its
Delight
.
If
it
be
tedious
to
an
excellent
Player
on
the
Lute
,
to
abide
but
a
few
Monthes
the
want
of
one
,
how
much
more
must
the
being
without
such
noble
Tooles
and
Engines
bee
plaintfull
to
the
Soule
?
And
if
two
Pilgrimes
which
haue
wandred
some
few
miles
together
,
haue
a
hearts-griefe
when
they
are
neare
to
part
,
what
must
the
Sorrow
be
at
the
parting
of
two
so
louing
Friends
and
neuer-loathing
Louers
as
are
the
Body
and
Soule
?
Death
is
the
violent
estranger
of
acquaintance
,
the
eternal
Diuorcer
of
Mariage
,
the
Rauisher
of
the
Children
●rom
the
Parents
,
the
Stealer
of
Parents
from
their
Children
,
the
interrer
of
Fame
,
the
sole
cause
of
forgetfulnesse
,
by
which
the
Liuing
talke
of
those
gone
away
as
of
so
many
Shadowes
or
age
▪
worne
Stories
:
all
Strength
by
it
is
enfeebled
,
Beautie
turned
into
deformitie
&
rottennesse
,
Honor
in
contempt
,
Glorie
into
basenesse
.
It
is
the
reasonlesse
breaker
off
of
all
Actions
,
by
which
we
enjoy
no
more
the
sweet
Pleasures
of
Earth
,
nor
gaze
vpon
the
●●a●elie
revolutions
of
the
Heauens
,
Sunne
perpetuallie
setteth
;
Star●es
neuer
rise
vnto
vs
,
It
in
one
moment
robbeth
vs
of
what
with
so
great
toyle
and
care
in
many
yeares
wee
haue
heaped
together
:
By
this
are
Successions
of
Linages
cut
short
,
Kingdomes
left
heirelesse
,
and
greatest
States
orphaned
:
it
is
not
ouercome
by
Pride
,
smoothed
by
Flatterie
,
diuerted
by
Time
,
Wisedome
saue
this
can
preuent
and
helpe
euery
thing
.
By
Death
wee
are
exiled
from
this
faire
Citty
of
the
World
,
it
is
no
more
a
World
vnto
vs
,
nor
we
any
more
people
into
it
.
The
ruines
of
Phanes
,
Palaces
,
and
other
magnificent
Frames
,
yeeld
a
sad
prospect
to
the
Soule
,
and
how
should
it
without
horrour
view
the
wracke
of
such
a
wonderfull
Maister-piece
as
is
the
Body
?
That
Death
naturally
is
torrible
and
to
be
abhorred
,
it
can
not
well
and
altogether
be
denied
,
it
beeing
a
priuation
of
Life
,
and
a
not-being
,
and
euery
priuation
being
abhorred
of
Nature
,
and
euill
in
it selfe
,
the
feare
of
it
too
being
ingenerate
vniversallie
in
all
Creatures
;
yet
I
haue
often
thought
that
euen
naturally
to
a
Minde
by
onely
Nature
resolued
and
prepared
,
it
is
more
terrible
in
Conceit
than
in
Verity
,
and
at
the
first
Glance
,
than
when
well
pryed
into
,
and
that
rather
by
the
weaknesse
of
our
Fantasie
,
than
by
what
is
in
it
,
and
that
the
marble
colours
,
of
Obsequies
,
Weeping
,
and
funerall
Pompe
(
which
wee
our selues
cast
ouer
it
)
did
adde
much
more
Gastlinesse
vnto
it
than
otherwayes
it
hath
.
To
averre
which
conclusion
,
when
I
had
gathered
my
wandring
Thoughts
,
I
beganne
thus
with
my Selfe
.
If
on
the
great
Theater
of
this
Earth
amongst
the
numberlesse
number
of
men
,
To
die
were
onely
proper
to
thee
and
thine
,
then
vndoubtedlie
thou
hadst
reason
to
repine
at
so
seuere
and
partiall
a
Law
?
But
since
it
is
a
necessitie
,
from
the
which
neuer
an
Age
by-pa●●
hath
beene
exempted
,
and
vnto
which
they
which
bee
,
and
so
many
as
are
to
come
,
are
thralled
(
no
consequent
of
Life
being
more
common
and
familiar
)
Why
shouldst
thou
with
vnprofitable
,
and
nought
availing
stubbornnesse
,
oppose
to
so
vneuitable
and
necessarie
a
Condition
?
this
is
the
high-way
of
Mortalitie
,
our
generall
home
,
behold
what
Millions
haue
trod
it
before
thee
,
what
Multitudes
shall
after
thee
,
with
them
which
at
that
same
instant
runne
.
In
so
vniversall
a
calamitie
(
if
Death
be
one
)
priuate
Complaints
cannot
bee
heard
,
with
so
many
royall
Palaces
,
it
is
no
losse
to
see
thy
poore
Caban
burne
.
Shall
the
Heauens
stay
their
euer-rolling
Wheeles
(
for
what
is
the
motion
of
them
,
but
the
motion
of
a
swift
and
euer-whirling
Wheele
,
which
twineth
forth
,
and
againe
vprolleth
our
life
?
)
and
hold
still
time
,
to
prolong
thy
miserable
dayes
,
as
if
the
highest
of
their
working
were
to
doe
homage
vnto
thee
?
Thy
death
is
a
peece
of
the
order
of
this
All
,
a
part
of
the
Life
of
this
World
,
for
while
the
World
is
the
World
,
some
Creatures
must
dye
,
&
others
take
life
.
Eternall
things
are
raised
far
aboue
this
Spheare
of
Generation
&
Corruption
,
where
the
first
Matter
,
like
an
euer-flowing
&
ebbing
Sea
,
with
diuerse
waues
,
but
the
same
water
,
keepeth
a
restles
and
neuer-tyring
current
;
what
is
below
,
in
the
vniuersalitie
of
the
kind
,
not
in
it selfe
doth
abide
,
Man
a
long
line
of
years
hath
continued
,
This
Man
euerie
hundreth
is
swept
away
.
This
Globe
enuironed
with
aire
,
is
the
sole
Region
of
Death
,
the
Graue
where
euerie
thing
that
taketh
Life
must
rotte
,
the
Stage
of
Fortune
and
Change
,
onelie
glorious
in
the
vnconstancie
and
varying
alterations
of
it
,
which
though
manie
seeme
yet
to
abide
one
,
and
being
a
certaine
entire
one
,
are
euer
many
.
The
neuer-agreeing
bodies
of
the
elementall
Brethren
turne
one
in
another
,
the
Earth
changeth
her
countenance
with
the
Seasons
,
some-times
looking
colde
,
and
naked
,
other
times
,
hote
and
flowrie
:
Nay
,
I
cannot
tell
how
,
but
euen
the
lowest
of
those
celestiall
bodies
,
that
mother
of
monthes
,
and
Empresse
of
seas
and
moisture
,
as
if
shee
were
a
Mirror
of
our
constant
mutabiltie
appeareth
(
by
her
too
great
nearnesse
vnto
vs
)
to
participate
of
our
changes
,
neuer
seeing
vs
twice
with
that
same
Face
,
now
looking
blacke
,
then
pale
and
wanne
,
some-times
againe
in
the
perfection
and
fulnesse
of
her
beautie
shining
ouer
vs
.
Death
no
lesse
than
Life
doth
heere
act
a
part
,
the
taking
away
of
what
is
old
,
beeing
the
making
a
way
for
what
is
young
.
They
which
fore-went
vs
did
leaue
a
Roome
for
vs
,
and
should
we
grieue
to
doe
the
same
to
those
which
should
come
after
vs
?
who
beeing
suffered
to
see
the
exquisite
rarities
of
an
Antiquaries
Cabinet
is
grieued
that
the
curtaine
bee
drawne
&
to
giue
place
to
new
Pilgrimes
?
and
when
the
Lord
of
this
Vniuerse
hath
shewed
vs
the
amazing
wonders
of
his
various
frame
,
should
wee
take
it
to
heart
,
when
hee
thinketh
time
,
to
dislodge
?
This
is
,
His
vnalterable
and
vneuitable
Decree
,
as
wee
had
no
part
of
our
will
in
our
entrance
into
this
Life
,
wee
should
not
persume
of
anie
in
our
leauing
it
,
but
soberlie
learne
to
will
that
which
hee
wills
,
whose
verie
willing
giueth
beeing
to
all
that
it
wills
,
and
reuerencing
the
Orderer
,
not
repine
at
the
order
and
Lawes
,
which
all-where
and
all-wayes
are
so
perfectlie
establi●hed
,
that
who
would
essay
to
correct
and
amend
any
of
them
,
should
either
make
them
worse
,
or
desire
thinges
beyond
the
Leuell
of
Possibilitie
.
If
thou
dost
complaine
that
there
shall
bee
a
time
in
the
which
thou
shalt
not
bee
,
why
dost
thou
not
too
grieue
that
there
was
a
time
in
the
which
thou
wast
not
?
and
so
that
thou
are
not
as
old
,
as
that
enlifening
Planet
of
time
?
for
not
to
haue
beene
a
thousand
yeares
before
this
moment
,
is
as
much
to
bee
deplored
,
as
not
to
be
a
thousand
after
it
,
the
effect
of
them
both
beeing
one
:
that
will
bee
after
vs
which
long
long
ere
wee
were
,
was
.
Our
childrens
children
haue
that
same
reason
to
murmure
that
they
were
not
yong
men
in
our
dayes
,
which
wee
haue
to
complaine
that
wee
shall
not
bee
old
in
theirs
.
The
Violets
haue
their
time
,
though
they
empurple
not
the
Winter
,
and
the
Roses
keepe
their
season
though
they
disclose
not
their
beautie
in
the
Spring
.
Empires
,
States
,
Kingdomes
,

by
the
doome
of
the
supreame
prouidence
their
fatall
Periods
,
great
Cities
lie
●adlie
buried
in
their
dust
,
Arts
and
Sciences
haue
not
onelie
their
Eclipses
,
but
their
wainings
and
deaths
,
the
gastlie
wonders
of
the

some

The

day
suffer
ruine
,
or

like
a

,
and
poore
Earthlings
thus
to

complaine
.
But
is
this
Life
so
great
a
good
,
that
the
lose
of
it
should
bee
so
deare
vnto
Man
?
if
it

?
the
meanest
Creatures
of
Nature
thus
bee
happie
,
for
they
liue
no
lesse
than
hee
;
If
it
bee
so
great
a
felicitie
,
how
is
it
esteemed
of
Man
himselfe
at
so
small
a
rate
,
that
for
so
poore
gaines
,
nay
,
one
disgracefull
word
,
hee
will
not
stand
to
loose
it
?
what
excellencie
is
there
in
it
,
for
the
which
hee
should
desire
it
perpetuall
,
and
repine
to
bee
at
rest
,
and
returne
to
his
old
Grand-mother
Dust
?
of
what
moment
are
the
labours
and
actions
of
it
,
that
the
interruption
and
leauing
off
of
them
should
bee
to
him
so
distastfull
,
and
with
such
grudging
lamentations
receiued
?
Is
not
the
entring
into
Life
weaknesse
?
the
continuing
sorrow
?
in
the
one
hee
is
exposed
to
all
the
injuries
of
the
Elements
,
and
like
a
condemned
trespasser
(
as
if
it
were
a
fault
to
come
to
the
light
)
no
sooner
borne
than
manacled
and
bound
;
in
the
other
hee
is
restlesly
like
a
Ball
tossed
in
the
Tenis-court
of
this
world
,
when
he
is
in
the
brightest
Meridian
of
his
glorie
,
there
mistereth
nothing
to
destroy
him
,
but
to
let
him
fall
his
owne
hight
,
a
reflex
of
the
Sunne
,
a
blast
of
wind
,
nay
,
the
glance
of
an
eye
,
is
sufficient
to
vndoe
him
:
How
can
that
bee
any
great
matter
,
which
so
small
instruments
and
slender
actions
are
maisters
of
?
His
Bodie
is
but
a
masse
of
discording
humors
boyled
together
by
the
conspiring
influences
of
superior
Lights
▪
which
though
agreeing
for
a
trace
of
time
,
yet
can
neuer
bee
made
vniforme
,
and
keept
in
a
just
proportion
.
To
what
sicknesse
is
it
subject
vnto
,
beyond
those
of
the
other
Creatures
?
No
part
of
it
beeing
which
is
not
particularlie
infected
and
afflicted
by
some
one
,
nay
,
euerie
part
with
many
?
so
that
the
Life
of
diuerse
of
the
meanest
creatures
of
Nature
hath
with
great
reason
,
by
the
most
wise

of
man
:
And
we
should
rather
wonder
how
so
fragill
a
matter
should
so
long
endure
,
than
how
so
soone
decay
.
Are
the
actions
of
the
most
part
of
men
,
much
differing
from
the
exercise
of
the
Spider
?
that
pitcheth
toyles
and
is
tapist
,
to
pray
on
the
smaller
creatures
,
and
for
the
weauing
of
a
scornfull
web
eviscerateth
it selfe
many
dayes
,
which
when
with
much
industrie
finished
,
a
tempestuous
puffe
of
wind
carrieth
away
both
the
worke
and
the
worker
?
or
are
they
not
like
the
playes
of
Children
?
or
(
to
hold
them
at
their
highest
rate
)
as
is
a
May-Game
,
or
what
is
more
earnest
,
some
studie
at
Chesse
?
euerie
day
wee
rise
and
lie
downe
,
apparell
and
disapparrell
our
selues
,
wearie
our
bodies
and
refresh
them
,
which
is
a
circle
of
idle
trauells
,
and
labours
(
like
Penelopes
taske
)
vnprofitablie
renewed
.
Some
time
wee
are
in
a
chase
after
a
fading
Beautie
,
now
wee
seeke
to
enlarge
our
bounds
,
increase
our
treasure
,
feeding
poorelie
,
to
purchase
what
wee
must
leaue
to
those
wee
neuer
saw
,
or
(
happilie
)
to
a
Foole
,
or
a
Prodigall
heire
:
raised
with
the
wind
of
Ambition
,
wee
court
that
idle
name
of
Honour
,
not
considering
how
they
mounted
aloft
in
the
highest
ascendant
of
earthlie
Glorie
,
are
but
like
tortured
Ghosts
wandering
with
golden
fetters
in
glistring
Prisons
,
hauing
feare
&
danger
their
vnseperable
executioners
,
in
the
midst
of
multitudes
rather
garded
than
regarded
.
They
whom
opake
imaginations
and
inward
melancholie
,
haue
made
wearie
of
the
worlds
eye
,
though
they
haue
withdrawn
themselues
from
the
course
of
vulgare
affaires
,
by
vaine
contemplations
,
curious
searches
,
are
more
diquieted
,
and
liue
a
life
worse
than
others
,
their
wit
beeing
too
sharpe
to
giue
them
a
true
taste
of
their
present
infelicitie
,
and
to
increase
their
woes
;
while
they
of
a
more
shallow
and
simple
conceit
,
haue
want
of
knowledge
,
and
ignorance
of
themselues
,
for
a
remedie
and
antidote
against
all
the
calamities
of
life
.
What
Cameli●n
,
what
E●ripe
,
what
Moone
doth
change
so
oft
as
man
?
hee
seemeth
not
the
same
person
,
in
one
and
the
same
day
,
what
pleaseth
him
in
the
morning
is
in
the
euening
vnto
him
distastfull
.
Young
hee
scornes
his
childish
Conceits
,
&
wading
deeper
in
yeares
(
for
yeares
are
a
Sea
into
which
hee
wadeth
vntill
hee
drowne
)
hee
esteemeth
his
Youth
vnconstancie
,
Rashnesse
,
Follie
;
Old
he
beginnes
to
pitie
himselfe
,
plaining
,
because
he
is
changed
that
the
world
is
changed
,
like
those
in
a
Ship
,
which
when
they
launch
from
the
Shore
,
are
brought
to
thinke
the
Shore
doth
flie
from
them
.
When
hee
is
fred
of
euill
in
his
owne
estate
,
hee
grudges
and
vexes
him selfe
at
the
happinesse
and
fortunes
of
others
,
hee
is
pressed
with
care
for
what
is
present
,
with
sorrow
for
what
is
past
,
with
feare
for
what
is
to
come
,
nay
,
for
what
will
neuer
come
,
and
as
in
the
Eye
one
teare
forceth
out
another
,
so
makes
he
one
sorrow
follow
vpon
a
former
,
and
euerie
day
laye
vp
stuffe
of
griefe
for
the
next
.
The
Aire
,
the
Sea
,
the
Fire
,
the
Beastes
,
bee
cruell
executioners
of
Man
,
yet
Beastes
,
Fire
,
Sea
,
and
Aire
,
are
pitifull
to
Man
in
comparison
of
Man
,
for
moe
men
are
destroyed
by
men
,
than
by
them
all
.
What
scornes
,
wrongs
,
contumelies
,
imprisonments
,
torments
,
poysons
,
receiueth
man
of
man
?
What
engynes
and
new
workes
of
death
are
daylie
found
forth
by
man
against
man
?
What
Lawes
to
thrall
his
libertie
?
fantasies
and
scarbugs
,
to
inveigle
his
reason
?
Amongst
the
Beastes
is
there
anie
that
hath
so
seruile
a
lot
in
anothers
behalfe
as
Man
?
yet
neither
is
content
,
nor
hee
who
raigneth
,
nor
hee
who
serueth
.
The
halfe
of
our
life
is
spent
in
Sleepe
,
which
hath
such
a
resemblance
to
Death
,
that
often
it
seperats
as
it
were
the
Soule
from
the
bodie
,
and
teacheth
it
a
sort
of
being
aboue
it
,
making
it
soare
beyond
the
Spheare
of
sensuall
delights
,
and
attaine
Knowledge
vnto
which
while
the
body
did
awake
it
could
scarce
aspire
.
And
who
would
not
,
rather
than
abide
chained
in
his
loathsome
Galley
of
the
world
sleepe
euer
(
that
is
dye
)
hauing
all
thinges
at
one
Stay
bee
free
from
those
vexations
,
misaduenters
,
contempts
,
indignities
,
and
many
many
anguishes
,
vnto
which
,
this
life
is
inuasseled
and
subdued
?
and
well
looked
vnto
our
greatest
contentment
and
happinesse
heere
,
seemeth
rather
to
consist
in
the
beeing
released
from
miserie
,
than
in
the
enjoying
of
anie
great
good
.
What
haue
the
most
eminent
of
mortalls
to
glorie
in
?
Is
it
Greatnesse
?
Who
can
bee
great
on
so
small
a
Round
as
is
this
Earth
,
and
bounded
with
so
short
a
course
of
time
?
How
like
is
that
to
Castells
or
imaginarie
Cities
raised
in
the
Skie
by
chance-meeting
Cloudes
?
Or
to
Gyants
modelled
(
for
a
sport
)
of
Snow
,
which
at
the
hoter
lookes
of
the
Sunne
melt
away
,
and
lie
drowned
in
their
owne
moisture
?
such
an
impetuous
vicissitude
towseth
the
estates
of
this
World
.
Is
it
Knowledge
?
But
wee
haue
not
yet
attained
to
a
perfect
Vnderstanding
of
the
smallest
Flower
,
and
why
the
Grasse
should
rather
bee
greene
than
red
.
The
Element
of
Fire
is
quite
put
out
,
the
Aire
is
but
Water
rarified
,
the
Earth
moueth
,
and
is
no
more
the
Center
of
the
Uniuerse
,
is
turned
into
a
Magnes
;
Starres
are
not
fixed
,
but
swimme
in
the
eth●riall
spaces
,
Comets
are
mounted
aboue
the
Planets
,
some
affirme
there
is
an
other
world
of
men
and
creatures
,
with
Cities
and
Towers
in
the
Moone
,
the
Sunne
is
lost
,
for
it
is
but
a
cleft
in
the
lower
heauens
,
through
which
the
light
of
the
highest
shines
:
Thus
Sciences
by
the
diuerse
motions
of
this
Globe
of
the
braine
of
man
are
become
opinions
.
What
is
all
wee
know
,
compared
with
what
wee
know
not
?
Wee
haue
not
yet
agreed
about
the
chiefe
good
and
felicitie
.
It
is
(
perhaps
)
artificiall
Cunning
,
howe
many
curiosities
bee
framed
by
the
least
Creatures
of
Nature
,
vnto
which
the
industrie
of
the
most
curious
Artizanes
doth
not
attaine
?
Is
it
Riches
?
What
are
they
but
the
casting
out
of
Friends
,
the
snares
of
libertie
,
bands
to
such
as
haue
them
,
possessing
rather
,
than
possest
,
Mettalls
which
Nature
hath
hidde
(
fore-seeing
the
great
harme
they
should
occasion
)
and
the
onelie
opinion
of
man
hath
brought
in
estimation
?
like
Thornes
which
laid
on
an
open
hand
,
may
bee
blowne
away
,
and
on
a
closing
and
hard
gripping
,
wound
it
,
Prodigalles
misspend
them
,
Wretches
miskeepe
them
:
when
wee
haue
gathered
the
greatest
aboundance
,
wee
our selues
can
enjoye
no
more
thereof
,
than
so
much
as
belonges
to
one
man
:
What
great
and
rich
men
doe
by
others
,
the
meaner
sort
doe
themselues
.
Will
some
talke
of
our
Pleasures
?
It
is
not
(
though
in
the
fables
)
told
out
of
purpose
,
that
Pleasure
in
hast
beeing
called
vp
to
Heauen
,
did
heere
forget
her
apparell
,
which
Sorrow
thereafter
finding
(
to
deceiue
the
world
)
attired
her selfe
with
:
And
if
wee
would
say
the
trueth
of
most
of
our
Ioyes
,
wee
must
confesse
that
they
are
but
disguised
sorrowes
;
the
drames
of
their
Honney
are
sowred
in
pounds
of
Gall
,
Remorse
euer
enseweth
them
,
and
neuer
doe
they
existe
but
by
their
opposite
sadnesse
,
nay
,
in
some
they
haue
no
effect
at
all
if
some
wakning
griefe
hath
not
preceeded
and
forewent
them
.
Will
some
Ladies
vaunt
of
their
beautie
?
that
is
but
skinne-deepe
,
of
two
senses
onelie
knowne
,
short
euen
of
Marble-Statues
,
and
Pictures
,
not
the
same
to
all
eyes
,
dangerous
to
the
beholder
,
and
hurtfull
to
the
possessor
,
an
enemie
to
Chastitie
,
a
thing
made
to
delight
others
,
more
than
those
which
haue
it
,
a
superficiall
luster
hiding
bones
and
the
braines
,
thinges
fearfull
to
bee
looked
vpon
:
growth
in
yeares
doth
blaste
it
,
or
Sicknesse
,
or
Sorrow
preuenting
them
.
Our
strength
matched
with
that
of
the
vnreasonable
Creatures
,
is
but
weaknesse
:
all
wee
can
set
our
eyes
on
,
in
these
intricate
mazes
of
life
,
is
but
vaine
perspectiue
and
deceiuing
shadowes
,
appearing
farre
other
wayes
a
farre
off
,
than
when
enjoyed
and
gazed
vpon
in
a
neare
distance
.
If
Death
bee
good
,
why
should
it
bee
feared
?
And
if
it
bee
the
worke
of
Nature
,
how
should
it
not
bee
good
?
For
Nature
is
an
ordinance
and
rule
,
which
GOD
hath
established
in
the
creating
this
Vniuerse
(
as
is
the
Law
of
a
King
)
which
can
not
erre
:
For
how
should
the
Maker
of
that
ordinance
erre
?
sith
in
him
there
is
no
impotencie
and
weaknesse
,
by
the
which
hee
might
bring
forth
what
is
vnperfect
,
no
peruersenesse
of
will
,
of
which
might
proceed
any
vicious
action
,
no
ignorance
by
the
which
he
might
goe
wrong
in
working
,
beeing
most
powerfull
,
most
good
,
most
wise
,
nay
,
all-wise
,
all-good
,
all-powrefull
;
He
is
the
first
orderer
,
and
marshalleth
euery
other
order
,
the
highest
Essence
,
giuing
essence
to
all
other
thinges
;
of
all
causes
the
cause
,
Hee
worketh
powerfullie
,
bonteou●lie
,
wiselie
,
and
maketh
(
his
artificiall
Organ
)
Nature
doe
the
same
.
How
is
not
Death
of
Nature
?
sith
what
is
naturallie
generate
,
is
subject
to
corruption
,
and
such
an
harmonie
(
which
is
Life
)
rising
from
the
mixture
of
the
foure
Elements
,
which
are
the
Ingredients
of
our
bodie
,
can
not
euer
endure
;
The
contraritie
of
their
qualities
(
as
a
consuming
Rust
in
the
baser
Metalles
)
beeing
an
inward
cause
of
a
necessarie
dissolution
.
Againe
,
how
is
not
Death
good
?
sith
it
is
the
thaw
of
all
those
vanities
which
the
frost
of
Life
bindeth
together
.
If
there
bee
a
facietie
in
Life
,
then
must
there
bee
a
sweetnesse
in
Death
?
The
Earth
were
not
ample
enough
to
containe
her
of-spring
if
none
dyed
:
in
two
or
three
Ages
(
without
Death
)
what
an
vnpleasant
and
lamentable
Spectacle
,
were
the
most
flourishing
Cities
?
for
what
should
there
bee
to
bee
seene
in
them
,
saue
bodies
languishing
and
cou●bing
againe
into
the
Earth
?
pale
disfigured
faces
,
Skelitons
in
stead
of
men
?
and
what
to
bee
heard
,
but
the
exclamations
of
the
young
,
complaintes
of
the
olde
,
with
the
pittifull
cryes
of
sicke
and
pining
persons
?
there
is
almost
no
infirmitie
worse
than
age
.
If
there
bee
any
euill
in
death
,
it
would
appeare
to
bee
that
paine
and
torment
,
which
we
apprehend
to
arise
from
the
breaking
of
those
strait
bands
which
keepe
the
Soule
and
body
together
;
which
,
sith
not
without
great
struggling
and
motion
,
seemes
to
proue
it selfe
vehement
and
most
extreame
.
The
senses
are
the
onely
cause
of
paine
,
but
before
the
last
Trances
of
death
,
they
are
so
brought
vnder
that
they
haue
no
(
or
verie
little
)
strength
,
and
their
strength
lessening
,
the
strength
of
paine
too
must
be
lessened
.
How
should
wee
doubt
,
but
the
weaknesse
of
senselesseneth
paine
,
Sith
we
know
that
weakened
and
maimed
parts
which
receiue
not
nurishment
,
are
a
great
deale
lesse
sensible
,
than
the
other
partes
of
the
bodie
;
And
see
,
that
old
decrepit
persons
leaue
this
world
almost
without
paine
,
as
in
a
sleepe
?
If
bodies
of
the
most
sound
and
wholesome
constitution
bee
these
which
most
vehemently
feele
paine
?
it
must
then
follow
,
that
they
of
a
distemperate
and
crasie
constitution
,
haue
least
feeling
of
paine
,
and
by
this
reason
,
all
weake
and
sicke
bodies
should
not
much
feele
paine
,
for
if
they
were
not
distempered
and
euill
complexioned
,
they
would
not
be
sicke
.
That
the
Sight
,
Hearing
,
Taste
,
Smelling
leaue
vs
without
paine
,
and
vnawares
,
we
are
vndoubtedlie
assured
,
and
why
should
wee
not
thinke
the
same
of
the
Feeling
?
That
which
is
capable
of
feeling
,
are
the
vitall
spirits
,
which
in
a
man
in
a
perfite
health
are
spred
and
extended
through
the
whole
bodie
,
and
hence
is
it
that
the
whole
body
is
capable
of
paine
:
But
in
dying
bodies
we
see
that
by
pauses
and
degrees
the
partes
which
are
furthest
remoued
from
the
heart
,
become
cold
,
and
being
depriued
of
naturall
heat
,
all
the
paine
which
they
feele
,
is
that
they
doe
feele
no
paine
.
Now
,
euen
as
ere
the
sicke
be
aware
,
the
vitall
spirits
haue
with
drawne
themselues
from
the
whole
extension
of
the
bodie
,
to
succour
the
heart
(
like
distressed
Citizens
which
finding
their
walls
battered
down
,
flye
to
the
defence
of
their
Cittadell
)
so
doe
they
abandone
the
heart
without
any
sensible
touch
:
As
the
flame
,
the
oyle
failing
,
leaueth
the
wicke
,
or
as
light
the
Aire
which
it
doeth
inuest
.
As
to
the
shrinking
motions
,
and
convulsions
of
sinewes
and
members
,
which
appeare
to
witnesse
great
paine
,
let
one
represent
to
himselfe
the
strings
of
an
high-tuned
Lut
,
which
breaking
,
retire
to
their
naturall
windings
,
or
a
piece
of
Yce
,
that
without
any
out-ward
violence
,
cracketh
at
a
Thawe
:
No
otherwise
doe
the
sinewes
of
the
bodie
,
finding
themselues
slacke
and
vnbended
from
the
braine
,
and
their
wonted
labours
and
motions
cease
,
struggle
,
and
seeme
to
stirre
themselues
,
but
without
either
,
paine
or
sense
.
Sowning
is
a
true
pourtrait
of
death
,
or
rather
it
is
the
same
,
beeing
a
cessation
from
all
action
,
motion
,
and
function
of
sense
and
life
:
But
in
Sowning
there
is
no
paine
,
but
a
silent
rest
,
and
so
deepe
and
sound
a
sleepe
that
the
naturall
is
nothing
in
comparison
of
it
;
What
great
paine
then
can
there
bee
in
Death
,
which
is
but
a
continued
Sowning
,
and
a
neuer
againe
returning
to
the
workes
and
dolorous
felicitie
of
life
?
Now
although
Death
were
an
extreame
paine
,
sith
it
is
in
an
instant
,
what
can
it
bee
?
why
should
wee
feare
it
?
for
while
wee
are
,
it
commeth
not
,
and
it
beeing
come
we
are
no
more
.
Nay
,
though
it
were
most
painfull
,
long
continuing
,
and
terrible
,
vglie
why
should
wee
feare
it
?
Sith
feare
is
a
foolish
passion
but
where
it
may
preserue
;
but
it
can
not
preserue
vs
from
Death
,
yea
rather
the
feare
of
it
,
banishing
the
comfortes
of
present
contentmentes
,
makes
Death
to
aduance
and
approach
the
more
neare
vnto
vs
.
That
is
euer
terrible
which
is
vnknowne
,
so
doe
litle
children
feare
to
goe
in
the
darke
,
and
their
feare
is
increased
with
tales
.
But
that
(
perhaps
)
which
anguisheth
thee
most
,
is
to
haue
this
glorious
pageant
of
the
World
,
remoued
from
thee
,
in
the
Spring
and
most
delicious
season
of
thy
life
;
for
,
though
to
dye
bee
vsuall
,
to
dye
young
may
appeare
extraordinarie
.
If
the
present
fruition
of
these
things
bee
vnprofitable
and
vaine
,
what
can
a
long
continuance
of
them
bee
?
Stranger
and
new
Halcyon
,
why
wouldst
thou
longer
nestle
amidst
these
vnconstant
and
stormie
waues
?
Hast
thou
not
alreddy
suffred
enough
of
this
World
,
but
thou
must
yet
endure
more
?
To
liue
long
,
is
it
not
to
be
long
troubled
?
But
number
thy
yeares
,
which
are
now
(
)
and
thou
shalt
find
,
that
where
as
ten
haue
ouer-liued
thee
,
thousands
haue
not
attained
this
age
.
One
yeare
is
sufficient
to
behold
all
the
magnificence
of
Nature
,
nay
,
euen
one
day
and
night
,
for
more
is
but
the
same
brought
againe
:
This
Sunne
,
that
Moone
,
these
Starres
,
the
varying
dance
of
the
Spring
,
Summer
,
Antumne
,
Winter
,
is
that
verie
same
which
the
golden
Age
did
see
.
They
which
haue
the
longest
time
lent
them
to
liue
in
,
haue
almost
no
part
of
it
at
all
,
measuring
it
either
by
that
space
of
time
which
is
past
,
when
they
were
not
,
or
by
that
which
is
to
come
:
Why
shouldst
thou
then
care
,
whether
thy
dayes
be
manie
or
few
,
which
when
prolonged
to
the
vttermost
,
proue
,
paralel'd
with
eternitie
,
as
a
Teare
is
to
the
Oeea●
?
To
dye
young
,
is
to
doe
that
soone
,
and
in
some
fewer
dayes
,
which
once
thou
must
doe
;
it
is
but
the
giuing
ouer
of
a
Game
that
,
after
neuer
so
many
hazardes
,
must
be
lost
.
When
thou
hast
liued
to
that
age
thou
desirest
,
or
one
of
Platos
yeares
,
so
soone
as
the
last
of
thy
dayes
riseth
aboue
thy
Horizon
,
thou
wilt
then
as
now
,
demand
longer
respit
,
and
exspect
more
to
come
:
It
is
Hope
of
long
life
,
that
maketh
life
seeme
short
.
Who
will
behold
,
and
with
the
eyes
of
aduice
behold
,
the
many
changes
depending
on
humane
affaires
,
with
the
after-claps
of
Fortune
,
shall
neuer
lament
to
dye
young
.
Who
knowes
what
alterations
and
sudden
disasters
,
in
outward
estate
or
inward
contentments
,
in
this
wildernesse
of
the
world
,
might
haue
befallen
him
who
dyeth
young
,
if
hee
had
liued
to
be
old
?
Heauen
fore-knowing
imminent
harmes
,
taketh
those
which
it
loues
to
it selfe
before
they
fall
forth
.
Pure
and
(
if
we
may
so
say
)
Virgine
Soules
,
carrie
their
bodies
with
no
small
agonies
,
and
delight
not
to
remaine
long
in
the
dregs
of
humane
corruption
,
still
burning
with
a
desire
to
turne
backe
to
the
place
of
their
rest
,
for
this
world
is
their
Inne
and
not
their
Home
.
That
which
may
fall
foorth
euerie
houre
,
cannot
fall
out
of
time
.
Life
is
a
Iourney
in
a
dustie
way
,
the
furthest
Rest
is
Death
,
in
this
some
goe
more
heauilie
burthened

than
others
:
swift
and
actiue
Pilgrimes
come
to
the
end
of

in
the

,
or
at
Noone

which
Tortoyse-paced
Wretches
,
clogged
with
the
fragmentarie
rubbidge
of
this

,
scarce
with
great

crawle
vnto
at
Midnight
.
Dayes
are
not
to
be
esteemed
after
the
number
of
them
,
but
after
the
goodnesse
:
more
Compasse
maketh
not

but
as

is
a
little

a
large
Ring

nor
is

most

worthie
who
hath
longest
played
,
but
hee
in
measured
accents
who
hath
made
sweetest
Melodie
,
to
liue

hath
often
beene
a
let
to
liue

.
Muse
not
how
many
yeares
thou
mightst
haue
enjoyed
life
,
but
howe
sooner
thou
mightst
haue
lossed
it
,
neither
grudge
so
much
that
it
is
no
better
,
as
comfort
thy selfe
that
it
hath
beene
no
worse
:
let
it
suffice
that
thou
hast
liued
till
this
day
,
and
(
after
the
course
of
this
world
)
not
for
nought
,
thou
hast
had
some
smiles
of
of
Fortune
,
fauours
of
the
worthiest
,
some
friendes
,
and
thou
hast
neuer
beene
disfauoured
of
the
Heauen
.
Though
not
for
Life
it selfe
,
yet
that
to
after-worlds
thou
mightst
leaue
some
monument
that
once
thou
wast
,
happilie
in
the
cleare
light
of
reason
,
it
would
appeare
that
life
were
earnestlie
to
bee
desired
:
for
sith
it
is
denyed
vs
to
liue
euer
(
said
one
)
let
vs
leaue
some
worthie
Remembrance
of
our
once
heere
beeing
,
and
draw
out
this
Spanne
of
life
to
the
greatest
length
,

so

O
poore
Ambition

to
what
I
pray
thee
mayst
thou
concreded

Arches
and
statelie
Temples
,
which
one
age
doth
raise
,
doth
not
another
raze
,
Tombes
and
adopted
Pillars
,
lye
buried
with
those
which
were
in
them
buried
:
Hath
not
Auarice
defaced
,
what
Religion
did
make
glorious
?
all
that
the
hand
of
man
can
vpreare
,
is
either
ouer-turned
by
the
hand
of
man
,
or
at
length
by
standing
&
continuing
consumed
:
as
if
there
were
a
secret
opposition
in
fate
(
the
vneuitable
decree
of
the
Eternall
)
to
controule
our

Possessions

of
Wealth

(
no

leauing

So
doth
Heauen
confound
what
wee
endeuour
by

and
art
to

.
That
renowne
by
Papers
,
which
is
thought
to
make
men
immortall
,
and
which
nearest
doth
approach
the
life
of
these
eternall
Bodies
aboue
,
how
slender
it
is
,
the
verie
word
of
Paper
doth
import
,
and
what
is
it
when
obtained
,
but
a
multitude
of
words
,
which
comming
Tymes
may
scorne
;
How
many
millions
neuer
heare
the
names
of
the
most
famous
Writers
,
and
amongst
them
to
whom
they
are
known
how
few
turne
ouer
their
Pages
,
and
of
such
as
doe
,
how
many
sport
at
their
conceits
,
taking
the
veritie
for
a
fable
,
and
oft
a
fable
for
veritie
,
or
(
as
we
doe
pleasants
)
vse
all
for
recreation
?
Then
the
arising
of
more
famous
,
doth
darken
,
and
turne
ignoble
the
glorie
of
the
former
,
beeing
held
as
Garments
worne
out
of

.
Now
,
when
thou
hast
attained
what
praise
thou
couldst
desire
,
and
thy
fame
is
emblazoned
in
many
Stories
,
it
is
but
an
Eccho
,
a

,
a
Glow-worme
,
which

casteth
some

but

Applause
whilst

serueth
but
to
make
thee
that
faire
marke
against
which
Enuie
and
Malice
direct
their
Arrows
,
at
the
best
is
like
that
Syracusians
Sphear
of
Chirstall
,
as
fraile
as
faire
:
and
borne
after
thy
death
,
it
may
as
well
be
ascribed
,
to
some
of
those
were
in
the
Troj●n
Horse
,
or
to
such
as
are
yet
to
bee
borne
an
hundreth
yeares
heereafter
,
as
to
thee
,
who
nothing
knowes
,
and
is
of
all
vnknowne
.
What
can
it
auaile
thee
to
bee
talked
of
,
whilst
thou
art
not
?
Consider
in
what
bounds
our
fame
is
confined
,
how
narrow
the
lists
are
of
humane
Glorie
,
and
the
furthest
she
can
stretch
her
winges
.
This
Globe
of
the
Earth
which
seemeth
huge
to
vs
,
in
respect
of
the
Vniuerse
,
&
compared
with
that
wide
wide
pauillon
of
Heauen
,
is
lesse
than
little
,
of
no
sensible
quantitie
,
and
but
as
a
point
:
for
the
Horizon
which
boundeth
our
sight
,
diuideth
the
Heauen
as
in
two
halfes
,
hauing
alwayes
sixe
of
the
Zodiacke
Signes
aboue
,
and
as
many
vnder
it
,
which
if
the
Earth
had
any
quantitie
compared
to
it
,
it
could
not
doe
.
More
if
the
Earth
were
not
as
a
point
,
the
Starres
could
not
still
in
all
parts
of
it
appeare
to
vs
of
a
like
greatnesse
;
for
where
the
Earth
raised
it selfe
in
Mountaines
,
wee
beeing
more
neare
to
Heauen
,
they
would
appeare
to
vs
of
a
greater
quantitie
,
and
where
it
is
humbled
in
Vallies
,
we
being
further
distant
,
they
would
seeme
vnto
vs
l●sse
:
But
the
Star●●s
in
all
parts
of
the
Earth
appearing
of
a
like
greatnesse
,
and
to
euery
part
of
it
the
Heauen
imparting
to
our
sight
the
halfe
of
its
inside
,
we
must
auouch
it
to
be
but
as
a
point
.
Well
did
one
compare
it
to
an
Ant-hill
,
and
men
(
the
Inhabitants
)
to
so
manie
Pismires
,
and
Grashoppers
,
in
the
toyle
and
varietie
of
their
diuersified
studies
.
Now
of
this
small
indiuisible
thing
,
thus
compared
,
how
much
is
couered
with
Waters
?
how
much
not
at
all
discouered
?
how
much
vnhabited
and
desart
?
and
how
many
millions
of
millions
are
they
,
which
share
the
remnant
amongst
them
,
in
languages
,
custumes
,
diuine
rites
differing
,
and
all
almost
to
others
vnknowne
?
But
let
it
bee
granted
that
Glorie
and
Fame
are
some
great
matter
,
and
can
reach
Heauen
it selfe
,
sith
they
are
oft
buried
with
the
honoured
,
and
passe
away
in
so
fleet
a
reuolution
of
tyme
,
what
great
good
can
they
haue
in
them
?
How
is
not
Glorie
temporall
,
if
it
increase
with
yeares
and
depend
on
time
?
Then
imagine
me
(
for
what
cannot
Imagination
reach
vnto
?
)
one
could
be
famous
in
all
times
to
come
,
and
ouer
the
whole
World
present
,
yet
shall
hee
be
for
euer
Obscure
and
ignoble
to
those
mightie
Ones
,
which
were
onelie
heeretofore
esteemed
famous
amongst
the
Assyrians
,
Persians
,
Romans
.
Againe
the
vaine
affectation
of
man
is
so
suppressed
,
that
though
his
workes
abide
some
space
,
the
worker
is
vnknowne
:
the
huge
Egyptian
Pyramides
,
and
that
Grot
in
Pa●silipo
,
though
they
haue
wrestled
with
tyme
,
and
worne
vpon
the
waste
of
dayes
,
yet
are
their
authors
no
more
knowne
,
than
it
is
knowne
by
what
strange
Earth-quackes
,
and
deluges
,
Yles
were
diuided
from
the
Continent
,
or
Hills
bursted
forth
of
the
Vallies
.
Dayes
,
Monthes
,
and
Yeares
,
are
swallowed
vp
in
the
great
Gulfe
of
Tyme
(
which
puts
out
the
eyes
of
all
their
Glorie
)
and
onely
a
fattall
obliuion
remaines
:
of
so
many
Ages
past
,
wee
may
well
figure
to
our selues
some
liklie
apparances
,
but
can
affirme
litle
certaintie
.
But
(
my
Soule
)
what
ailes
thee
,
to
bee
thus
backward
and
astonished
,
at
the
remembrance
of
Death
,
sith
it
doth
not
reach
thee
,
more
than
darknesse
doth
those
farre-shinning
Lampes
aboue
?
Rowse
thy selfe
for
shame
,
why
shouldst
thou
feare
to
bee
without
a
bodie
,
●ith
thy
maker
and
the
spirituall
and
supercelestiall
Inhabitants
haue
no
bodies
?
Hast
thou
euer
seene
any
Prisoner
,
who
when
the
Iaile
Gates
were
broken
vp
,
&
he
enfranchised
&
set
loose
,
would
rather
plaine
and
sit
still
on
his
Fetters
,
than
seeke
his
freedome
?
or
any
Mariner
,
who
in
the
midst
of
Stormes
arriuing
neare
the
Shore
,
would
launch
forth
againe
vnto
the
Maine
,
rather
than
stricke
Saile
and
joyfully
enter
the
leas
of
a
saue
Harbour
?
If
thou
rightlie
know
thy selfe
,
thou
hast
but
small
cause
of
anguish
;
for
if
there
be
any
resemblance
,
of
that
which
is
infinite
,
in
what
is
finit
(
which
yet
by
an
infinit
imperfection
is
from
it
distant
)
if
thou
be
not
an
Image
,
thou
art
a
shadow
of
that
vnsearchable
Trinitie
,
in
thy
three
essentiall
powers
,
Vnderstanding
,
Will
,
Memorie
;
which
though
three
,
are
in
thee
but
one
,
and
abiding
one
,
are
distinctlie
three
:
But
in
nothing
more
comest
thou
neare
that
Soueraigne
Good
,
than
by
thy
perpetuitie
,
which
who
striue
to
improue
,
by
that
same
doe
it
proue
:
Like
those
that
by
arguing
themselues
to
bee
without
all
reason
,
by
the
verie
arguing
,
shewe
how
they
haue
some
.
For
,
how
can
what
is
wholly
mortall
,
more
know
what
is
immortall
,
than
the
eye
can
know
sounds
,
or
the
eare
questione
about
colours
;
if
none
had
eyes
,
who
would
euer
descant
of
light
or
shadow
?
To
thee
nothing
in
this
visible
World
is
comparable
;
thou
art
so
wonderfull
a
beautie
and
so
beautifull
a
wonder
,
that
if
but
once
thou
couldst
bee
gazed
vpon
by
bodilie
eyes
,
euery
heart
would
bee
inflamed
with
thy
loue
,
and
rauished
from
all
seruile
basenesse
and
earthly
desires
.
Thy
beeing
depends
not
on
matter
,
hence
by
thine
Vnderstanding
,
dost
thou
dyue
into
the
being
of
euery
other
thing
;
and
therein
art
so
pregnant
,
that
nothing
by
place
,
similitude
,
subject
,
tyme
,
is
so
conjoyned
,
which
thou
canst
not
separate
;
as
what
neither
is
,
nor
any
wayes
can
exist
,
thou
canst
faine
,
and
giue
an
abstract
beeing
vnto
.
Thou
seemest
a
World
in
thy selfe
,
containing
Heauen
,
Starres
,
Seas
,
Earth
,
Floods
,
Mountaines
,
Forrests
,
and
all
that
liueth
:
Yet
restes
thou
not
satiate
with
what
is
in
thy selfe
,
nor
with
all
in
the
wide
Vniuerse
,
vntill
thou
raise
thy selfe
,
to
the
contemplation
of
that
first
illuminating
Intelligence
,
farre
aboue
Tyme
,
and
euen
reaching
Eternitie
it selfe
,
into
which
thou
art
transformed
,
for
,
by
receiuing
thou
(
beyond
all
other
things
)
art
made
that
which
thou
recceiuest
.
The
more
thou
knowest
,
the
more
apt
thou
art
to
know
,
not
beeing
amated
with
any
object
that
excelleth
in
predominance
,
as
Sense
by
objects
sensible
.
Thy
Will
is
vncompellable
,
resisting
force
,
daunting
Necessitie
,
despising
Danger
,
triumphing
ouer
Afliction
,
vnmoued
by
Pittie
,
and
not
constrained
by
all
the
toyles
and
disasters
of
Life
.
What
the
Airts-master
of
this
Vniuerse
is
in
gouerning
this
Vniuerse
,
thou
art
in
the
body
;
and
as
hee
is
whollie
in
euerie
part
of
it
,
so
art
thou
whollie
in
euerie
part
of
the
bodie
.
By
thee
man
is
that
Hymen
of
eternall
and
mortall
things
,
that
Chaine
together
binding
vnbodied
and
bodily
substances
,
without
which
the
goodlie
Fabricke
of
this
World
were
vnperfect
.
Thou
hast
not
thy
beginning
from
the
fecunditie
,
power
,
nor
action
of
the
elementall
qualities
,
beeing
an
immediate
maister-piece
of
that
great
Maker
:
Hence
hast
thou
the
formes
and
figures
of
all
thinges
imprinted
in
thee
from
thy
first
originall
.
Thou
only
at
once
art
capable
of
contraries
,
of
the
three
parts
of
Tyme
,
thou
makest
but
one
.
Thou
knowest
thy selfe
so
separate
,
absol●●e
and
diuerse
an
essence
from
thy
bodie
,
that
thou
disposest
of
it
as
it
pleaseth
thee
,
for
in
thee
there
is
no
passion
so
weake
which
maistereth
not
the
feare
of
leauing
it
.
Thou
shouldst
bee
so
farre
from
repining
at
this
separation
,
that
it
should
bee
the
chiefe
of
thy
desires
;
sith
it
is
the
passage
and
meanes
to
attaine
thy
perfection
and
happinesse
.
Thou
art
heere
but
as
in
an
infected
and
leprous
Inne
,
plunged
in
a
floud
of
humors
,
oppressed
with
cares
,
suppres●ed
with
ignorance
,
defiled
and
destained
with
vice
,
retrograde
in
the
course
of
vertue
;
small
things
seeme
heere
great
vnto
thee
,
and
great
things
small
,
Follie
appeareth
Wisedome
,
and
Wisedome
Follie.
Fred
of
thy
fleshlie
care
,
thou
shalt
rightlie
discerne
the
beautie
of
thy selfe
,
and
haue
perfect
fruition
of
that
all-sufficient
and
all-suffizing
Happinesse
,
which
is
GOD
himselfe
;
to
whom
thou
owest
thy
being
,
to
Him
thou
owest
thy
well
being
,
He
and
Happinesse
are
the
same
.
For
,
if
GOD
had
not
Happinesse
,
Hee
were
not
GOD
,
because
Happinesse
is
the
highest
and
greatest
Good
:
If
then
GOD
haue
Happinesse
,
it
can
not
bee
a
a
thing
differing
from
Him
;
for
,
if
there
were
any
thing
in
Him
,
differing
from
Him
,
Hee
should
bee
an
essence
composed
and
not
simple
,
more
what
is
differing
in
any
thing
,
is
either
an
accident
or
a
part
of
it selfe
;
In
GOD
Happinesse
can
not
bee
an
accident
,
because
Hee
is
not
subject
to
anie
accidents
,
if
it
were
a
part
of
Him
(
since
the
part
is
before
the
whole
)
wee
should
bee
forced
to
grant
,
that
some
thing
was
before
GOD.
Bedded
and
bathed
in
these
earthlie
ordures
,
thou
canst
not
come
neare
this
soueraigne
Good
,
nor
haue
any
glimpse
of
the
farre-off
dawning
of
his
vncessable
brightnesse
,
no
,
not
so
much
as
the
eyes
of
the
Birds
of
the
night
haue
of
the
Sunne
.
Thinke
then
by
Death
,
that
thy
shell
is
broken
,
and
thou
then
but
euen
hatched
,
that
thou
art
a
Pearle
,
raised
from
thy
Mother
,
to
bee
enchaced
in
Gold
,
and
that
the
death-day
of
thy
body
,
is
thy
birth-day
to
Eternitie
.
Why
shouldst
thou
bee
feare-stroken
,
and
discomforted
▪
for
thy
parting
from
this
mortall
Bride
thy
bodie
,
sith
it
is
but
for
a
tyme
,
and
such
a
time
,
as
shee
shall
not
care
for
,
nor
feele
any
thing
in
,
nor
thou
haue
much
neede
of
her
?
Nay
,
sith
thou
shalt
receiue
her
againe
,
more
goodly
and
beautifull
,
than
when
in
her
fullest
perfection
thou
enjoyed
her
;
beeing
by
her
absence
made
like
vnto
that
Indian
Christall
,
which
after
some
reuolutions
of
Ages
,
is
turned
into
purest
Diamond
.
If
the
Soule
bee
the
forme
of
the
Bodie
,
and
the
forme
separated
from
the
matter
of
it
,
can
not
euer
so
continue
,
but
is
inclined
and
disposed
to
be
reunited
thereinto
:
What
can
let
and
hinder
this
desire
,
but
that
some
time
it
bee
accomplished
,
and
obtaining
the
exspected
end
,
rejoyne
it selfe
againe
vnto
the
bodie
?
The
Soule
separate
hath
a
desire
,
because
it
hath
a
will
,
and
knowes
it
shall
by
this
reunion
receiue
perfection
:
too
,
as
the
matter
is
disposed
,
and
inclineth
to
its
forme
when
it
is
without
it
,
so
would
it
seeme
that
the
Forme
should
be
towards
its
matter
in
the
absence
of
it
.
How
,
is
not
the
Soule
the
forme
of
the
bodie
,
sith
by
it
,
it
is
,
and
is
the
beginning
and
cause
of
all
the
actions
and
functions
of
it
:
For
,
though
in
excellencie
it
passe
euerie
other
forme
,
yet
doth
not
that
excellencie
take
from
it
the
nature
of
a
forme
?
If
the
abiding
of
the
Soule
from
the
bodie
be
violent
,
then
can
it
not
bee
euerlasting
,
but
haue
a
regresse
:
How
is
not
such
an
estate
of
beeing
and
abiding
not
violent
to
the
Soule
,
if
it
bee
naturall
to
it
,
to
be
in
matter
,
and
(
separate
)
after
a
strange
manner
,
many
of
the
powers
and
faculties
of
it
(
which
neuer
leaue
it
)
are
not
duelie
exercised
?
This
Vnion
seemeth
not
aboue
the
Horizon
of
naturall
reason
,
farre
lesse
imposible
to
bee
done
by
GOD
,
and
though
Reason
can
not
euidentlie
heere
demonstrate
,
yet
hath
shee
a
mistie
and
groping
notice
.
If
the
bodie
shall
not
arise
,
how
can
the
onelie
&
Soueraigne
Good
,
be
perfectlie
and
infinitlie
good
?
For
,
how
shall
hee
bee
just
,
nay
,
haue
so
much
justice
as
Man
,
if
Hee
suffer
the
euill
and
vicious
,
to
haue
a
more
prosperous
and
happie
life
,
than
the
followers
of
Religion
and
Vertue
;
which
ordinarlie
vseth
to
fall
forth
in
this
life
?
For
,
the
most
wicked
are
Lords
and
Gods
of
this
Earth
,
sleeping
in
the
lee
port
of
honour
,
as
if
the
spacious
habitation
of
the
World
had
beene
made
onelie
for
them
;
and
the
Vertuous
and
good
,
are
but
forlorne
cast-awayes
,
floting
in
the
surges
of
distresse
,
seeming
heere
either
of
the
eye
of
prouidence
not
pityed
,
or
not
regarded
:
beeing
subject
to
all
dishonours
,
wronges
,
wrackes
,
in
their
best
estate
,
passing
away
their
dayes
(
like
the
D●zies
in
the
Field
)
in
silence
and
contempt
.
Sith
then
hee
is
most
good
,
must
just
,
of
necessitie
,
there
must
bee
appointed
by
him
an
other
time
and
place
of
〈◊〉
,
in
the
which
there
shall
bee
a
reward
for
leauing
well
,
and
a
punishment
for
doing
euill
,
with
a
life
whereinto
both
shall
receiue
their
due
;
and
not
onelie
in
their
Soules
di●●●ted
,
for
,
●ith
both
the
parts
of
man
did
act
a
part
in
the
right
or
wrong
,
it
carrieth
great
reason
with
it
,
that
they
both
bee
araigned
before
that
high
Iustice
,
to
receiue
their
owne
:
Man
is
not
a
Soule
onelie
,
but
a
Soule
and
Bodie
,
to
which
either
guerdon
or
punishment
is
due
.
This
seemeth
to
be
the
voice
of
Nature
in
almost
all
the
Religions
of
the
World
;
this
is
that
generall
testimonie
,
charactered
in
the
minds
of
the
most
barbarous
and
sauage
people
;
for
,
all
haue
had
some
rouing
gesses
at
Ages
to
come
,
and
a
dimme
du●kish
light
of
another
life
,
all
appealing
to
one
generall
Iudgement
Throne
.
To
what
else
could
serue
so
many
expiations
,
sacrifices
,
prayers
,
solemnities
,
and
misticall
ceremonies
?
To
what
such
sumptuous
Temples
,
and
care
of
the
dead
:
to
what
all
Religion
?
If
not
to
showe
,
that
they
expected
a
more
excellent
manner
of
beeing
,
after
the
nauigation
of
this
life
did
take
an
end
.
And
who
doth
denie
it
,
must
denie
that
there
is
a
Prouidence
,
a
GOD
,
confesse
that
his
worship
,
and
all
studie
and
reason
of
vertue
are
vaine
;
and
not
beleeue
that
there
is
a
World
,
are
creatures
,
and
that
Hee
Himselfe
is
not
what
Hee
is
.
But
it
is
not
of
Death
(
perhaps
)
that
we
complaine
,
but
of
Tyme
,
vnder
the
fatall
shadow
of
whose
●inges
,
all
things
decay
and
wether
:
This
is
that
Tyrant
,
which
executing
against
vs
his
diamantine
lawes
,
altereth
the
harmonious
constitution
of
our
bodies
,
benumning
the
Organes
of
our
knowledge
,
turneth
our
best
Senses
senslesse
;
makes
vs
loathsome
to
others
,
and
a
burthen
to
our selues
:
Of
which
euills
Death
releiueth
vs
.
So
that
if
wee
could
bee
transported
(
O
happie
colonie
!
)
to
a
place
exempted
from
the
lawes
and
conditions
of
Tyme
,
where
neither
change
,
motion
,
nor
other
affection
of
materiall
and
corruptible
things
were
;
but
an
immortall
,
vnchangeable
,
impassible
,
all-sufficient
kind
of
life
,
it
were
the
last
of
things
wishible
,
the
tearme
and
center
of
all
our
de●ires
.
Death
maketh
this
transplantation
;
for
the
last
instant
of
corruption
,
or
leauing
off
of
any
thing
to
bee
what
it
was
,
is
the
first
of
generation
,
or
beeing
of
that
which
succeedeth
;
Death
then
beeing
the
end
of
this
miserable
transitory
life
,
of
necessitie
must
bee
the
beginning
of
that
other
all
excellent
and
eternall
:
And
so
causleslie
of
a
vertuous
Soule
it
is
either
feared
or
complained
on
.
As
those
Images
were
pourtraited
in
my
minde
(
the
morning
Starre
now
almost
arising
in
the
East
)
I
found
my
thoughts
in
a
mild
and
quiet
calme
;
and
not
long
after
,
my
Senses
one
by
one
forgetting
their
vses
,
beganne
to
giue
themselues
ouer
to
rest
,
leauing
mee
in
a
still
and
peaceable
sleepe
;
if
sleepe
it
may
bee
called
,
where
the
mind
awaking
is
carried
with
free
wings
from
out
fleshlie
bondage
?
For
,
heauie
lids
,
had
not
long
couered
their
lights
,
when
I
thought
,
nay
,
sure
I
was
where
I
might
discerne
all
in
this
great
All
;
the
large
compasse
of
the
rolling
Circles
,
the
brightnesse
and
continuall
motion
of
those
Rubies
of
the
Night
,
which
(
by
their
distance
)
heere
below
can
not
be
perceiued
;
the
●iluer
countenance
of
the
wandring
Moone
,
shining
by
anothers
light
,
the
hanging
of
the
Earth
as
(
e●uironed
with
a
girdle
of
Christall
)
the
Sunne
enthronized
in
the
midst
of
the
Planets
,
eye
of
the
Heauens
,
Gemme
of
this
precious
Ring
the
World
.
But
whilst
with
wonder
and
amazement
I
gazed
on
those
celestiall
Splendors
,
and
the
beaming
Lampes
of
that
glorious
Temple
(
like
a
poore
Countrie-man
brought
from
his
solitarie
mountaines
and
flockes
,
to
behold
the
magnificence
of
some
great
Citie
)
There
was
presented
to
my
fight
a
Man
,
as
in
the
spring
of
his
yeares
,
with
that
selfe
same
grace
,
comely
feature
,
Majesticke
looke
which
the
late
(
)
was
wont
to
haue
:
on
whom
I
had
no
sooner
set
mine
eyes
,
when
(
like
one
Planet-stroken
)
I
became
amazed
:
But
hee
with
a
●ild
demeanour
,
and
voyce
surpassing
all
Humane
sweetnesse
,
appeared
(
mee
thought
)
to
say
,
What
is
it
doth
thus
anguish
and
trouble
thee
?
Is
it
the
remembrance
of
Death
,
the
last
Period
of
wretchednesse
,
and
entrie
to
these
happie
places
;
the
Lanterne
which
lightneth
men
to
see
the
misterie
of
the
blessednesse
of
Spirites
,
and
that
glorie
which
transcendeth
the
Courtaine
of
things
visible
?
Is
thy
Fortune
below
on
that
darke
Globe
(
which
scarce
by
the
smalnes
of
it
appeareth
heere
)
so
great
,
that
thou
art
heart-broken
and
dejected
to
leaue
it
?
What
if
thou
wert
to
leaue
behind
thee
a
(
)
so
glorious
in
the
eye
of
the
World
(
yet
but
a
mote
of
dust
encircled
with
a
Pond
)
as
that
of
mine
,
so
louing
(
)
such
great
hopes
,
these
had
beene
apparant
occasions
of
lamenting
,
and
but
apparent
?
Dost
thou
thinke
thou
leauest
Life
too
soone
?
Death
is
best
young
;
things
faire
and
excellent
,
are
not
of
long
endurance
vpon
Earth
.
Who
liueth
well
,
liueth
long
;
Soules
most
beloued
of
their
Maker
,
are
soonest
releeued
from
the
bleeding
cares
of
Life
,
and
most
swiftlie
wa●ted
through
the
Surges
of
Humane
miseries
.
Opinion
that
great
enchantresse
and
peiser
of
things
,
not
as
they
are
,
but
as
they
seeme
,
hath
not
in
any
thing
more
,
than
in
the
conceit
of
Death
abused
Man
:
Who
must
not
measure
himselfe
,
and
esteeme
his
estate
,
after
his
earthlie
being
,
which
is
but
as
a
dreame
:
For
,
though
hee
bee
borne
on
the
Earth
,
hee
is
not
borne
for
the
Earth
,
more

so

excellencies
,
not

for
necessitie
,
but
for
ornament
and
delight
,
was
by
that
Supreame
Wisedome
brought
forth

that
all
things
in
a
circularie
course
,
should
bee
and
not
bee

arise
and
dissolue
,
and
thus
continue
:
as
if
they
were
so
many
Shadowes
cast
out
and
caused
by
the
encountring
of
these
Superior
Celestiall
Bodies
,
changing
onelie
their
fashion
and

,
or
fantasticall
Imageries
,
or

No
no
,
the
Eternall
Wisedome
hath
made
Man
an
excellent
Creature
,
though
hee
faine
would
vnma●●e
himselfe

and
returne
to
nothing
:
And
though
he
seeke
his
felicity
among
the
reasonlesse
Wights
,
he
hath
fixed
it
aboue
.
Looke
how
some
Prince
or
great
King
on
the
Earth
,
when
hee
hath
raised
any
statelie
Citie
,
the
worke
being
atchi●●ed
,
is
wont
to
set
his
Image
in
the
midst
of
it
,
to
bee
admired
and
gazed
vpon
:
No
otherwise
did
the
Soueraigne
of
this
All
,
the
Fabricke
of

perfected
,
place
Man
(
a
great
Miracle
)
formed
to
his
owne
patterne
,
in
the
midst
of
this
spacious
and
admirable
Citie
.
GOD
containeth
all
in
Him
as
the
beginning
of
all
,
Man
containeth
all
in
him
,
as
the
midst
of
all
;
inferiour
thinges
bee
in
Man
more
noble
than
they
exist
,
superiour
thinges
more
meanlie
,
Celestiall
things
fauour
him
,
earthly
things
are
vassaled
vnto
him
,
hee
is
the
band
of
both
;
neither
is
it
possible
but
that
both
of
them
haue
peace
with
him
,
if
he
haue
peace
with
him
,
who
made
the
Couenant
betweene
them
and
him
?
Hee
was
made
that
hee
might
in
the
Glasse
of
the
World
behold
the
infinite
Goodnesse
,
Power
,
and
glorie
of
his
Maker
,
and
beholding
know
,
and
knowing
Loue
,
and
louing
enjoye
,
and
to
hold
the
Earth
of
him
as
of
his
Lord
Paramount
;
neuer
ceasing
to
remember
and
praise
Him
.
It
exceedeth
the
compasse
of
conceit
,
to
thinke
that
that
Wisedome
which
made
euerie
thing
so
orderly
in
the
parts
,
should
make
a
confusion
in
the
whole
,
and
the
cheife
Maister-peece
;
how
bringing
forth
so
many
excellencies
for
Man
,
it
should
bring
forth
Man
for
basenesse
and
miserie
.
And
no
lesse
strange
were
it
,
that
so
long
life
should
be
giuen
to
Trees
,
Beastes
,
and
the
Birds
of
the
Aire
,
Creatures
inferior
to
Man
,
which
haue
lesse
vse
of
it
,
and
which
can
not
judge
of
this
goodlie
Fabricke
,
and
that
it
should
bee
denyed
to
Man
:
Vnlesse
there
were
another
manner
of
liuing
prepared
for
him
,
in
a
place
more
noble
and
excellent
.
But
alas
!
(
said
I
)
had
it
not
beene
better
that
for
the
good
of
his
natiue
Cou●trie
a
(
)
endued
with
so
manie
peerlesse
gifts
,
had
yet
liued
?
How
long
will
yee
(
replyed
hee
)
like
the
Ants
,
thinke
there
are
no
fairer
Palaces
,
than
their
Hills
;
or
like
to
poreblind
Moles
,
no
greater
light
,
than
that
little
which
they
shunne
?
As
if
the
maister
of
a
Campe
,
knew
when
to
remoue
a
Sentinell
,
and
Hee
who
placeth
Man
on
the
Earth
,
knew
●ot
how
long
he
had
need
of
Him
?
Euerie
one
commeth
there
to
act
his
part
of
this
Tragicomedi●
called
Life
,
which
done
,
the
Courtaine
is
drawne
,
and
hee
remouing
is
said
to
dye
.
That
Prouidence
which
prescriueth
Causes
to
euerie
euent
hath
not
onelie
determined
a
definit
and
certaine
number
of
dayes
,
but
of
actions
to
all
men
,
which
they
cannot
goe
beyond
.
Most
(
)
then
(
answered
I
)
Death
is
not
such
an
euill
and
paine
,
as
it
is
of
the
Vulgare
esteemed
?
Death
(
said
hee
)
nor
painefull
is
,
nor
euill
(
except
in
contemplation
of
the
cause
)
beeing
of
it selfe
as
indifferent
as
Birth
:
Yet
can
it
not
bee
denyed
,
but
amidst
those
dreames
of
earthly
pleasures
,
the
vncouthnesse
of
it
,
with
the
wrong
apprehension
of
what
is
vnknowne
in
it
,
are
noysome
,
But
the
Soule
sustained
by
its
Maker
,
resolued
,
and
calmlie
retired
in
it selfe
,
doth
find
that
Death
(
●ith
it
is
in
a
moment
of
Time
)
is
but
a
short
,
nay
,
sweete
sigh
;
and
is
not
worthie
the
remembrance
compared
with
the
smallest
dramme
of
the
infinite
Felicitie
of
this
Place
.
Heere
is
the
Palace
Royall
of
the
Almighty
KING
,
in
which
the
vncomprehensible
comprehensiblie
manifesteth
Himselfe
;
in
Place
highest
,
in
substance
not
subject
to
any
corruption
or
change
,
for
it
is
aboue
all
motion
,
and
solid
turneth
not
;
in
quantitie
greatest
,
for
,
if
one
Starre
,
one
Spheare
bee
so
vast
,
how
large
,
how
hudge
in
exceeding
demensions
,
must
those
bounds
bee
,
which
doe
them
all
containe
?
In
quantitie
most
pure
and
orient
,
Heauen
heere
is
all
but
a
Sunne
,
or
the
Sunne
all
but
a
Heauen
.
If
to
Earthlings
the
Foote-stoole
of
GOD
,
and
that
Stage
which
Hee
raised
for
a
small
course
of
Time
,
seemeth
so
Glorious
and
Magnificent
;
What
estimation
would
they
make
(
if
they
could
see
)
of
His
eternall
Habitation
and
Throne
?
and
if
these
bee
so
wonderfull
,
what
is
the
sight
of
Him
,
for
whom
,
and
by
whom
all
was
created
;
of
whose
Glorie
to
behold
the
thousand
thousand
part
,
the
most
pure
Intellegences
are
fullie
satiate
,
and
with
wonder
and
delight
rest
amazed
;
for
the
Beautie
of
His
light
and
the
Light
of
His
Beautie
are
vncomprehensible
?
Heere
doth
that
earnest
appetite
of
the
Vnderstanding
content
it selfe
,
not
seeking
to
know
any
more
;
For
it
seeth
before
it
,
in
the
vision
of
the
Diuine
essence
(
a
Miroi●
in
the
which
not
Images
or
shadowes
,
but
the
true
and
perfect
Essence
of
euerie
thing
created
,
is
more
cleare
and
conspicuous
,
than
in
it selfe
)
all
that
may
bee
knowne
or
vnderstood
.
Heere
doth
the
Will
pause
it selfe
,
as
in
the
center
of
its
Eternall
rest
,
glowing
with
a
firie
affection
of
that
infinite
and
all-sufficient
Good
;
which
beeing
fullie
knowne
,
cannnot
(
for
the
infinit
motiues
and
causes
of
loue
which
are
in
Him
)
but
bee
fullie
and
perfectlie
loued
:
As
Hee
is
onelie
true
and
essentiall
Bountie
,
so
is
Hee
the
onelie
essentiall
and
true
Beautie
,
deseruing
alone
all
loue
and
admiration
,
by
which
the
Creatures
are
onelie
in
so
much
faire
and
excellent
,
as
they
participate
of
His
Beautie
and
excelling
Excellencies
.
Heere
is
a
blessed
Companie
,
euerie
one
joying
as
much
in
anothers
Felicitie
,
as
in
that
which
is
proper
,
because
each
seeth
another
equ●llie
loued
of
GOD
;
Thus
their
distinct
joyes
are
no
fewer
,
than
the
copartners
of
the
joye
:
And
as
the
Assemblie
is
in
number
answerable
to
the
large
capacitie
of
the
Place
,
so
are
the
joyes
answerable
to
the
numberlesse
number
of
the
Ass●mblie
.
No
poore
and
pittifull
mortall
,
confined
on
the
Globe
of
Earth
,
who
hath
neuer
seene
but
sorrow
,
or
interchangeablie
some
painted
superficiall
pleasures
,
can
rightlie
thinke
on
,
or
bee
sufficient
to
conceaue
the
tearmelesse
Delightes
of
this
Place
.
So
manie
Feathers
moue
not
on
Birds
,
so
many
Birds
dint
not
the
Aire
,
so
manie
leaues
tremble

so

so
manie
Waues
turne
not

Ocean
,
and
so
manie
graines
of
Sand
limit
not
those
Waues
:
As
this
triumphant
Court
hath
varietie
of
Delights
,
and
Ioyes
exempted
from
all
comparison
.
Happinesse
at
once
heere
is
fullie
knowne
and
fullie
enjoyed
,
and
as
infinit
in
continuance
as
extent
.
Heere
is
flourishing
and
neuer-fading
youth
without
Age
,
Strength
without
Weaknesse
,
Beautie
neuer

,
Knowledge
without
Learning
,
Aboundance

Peace
without

,

without

Rest
without

,

Sunne
,
Perpetuitie
without

,
for
Time
(
which
is
the
measure
of
endurance
)
did
neuer

this
shining
Eternitie

Ambition

Disdaine
,

,

,
can
not
approach
this
Place
,
resembling
those

which
couer
those
Lists

All
Pleasure
paragon'd
with
what
is
heere
is
paine
,
all
Mirth

,
all
Beautie
deformitie
:
Heere
one
dayes
abyding
,
is
aboue
the
continuing
in
the
most
fortunate
estate
on
the
Earth
manie
yeeres
,
and
sufficient
to
conteruaile
the
extreamest
torments
of
Life
.
But
,
although
this
Blisse
of
Soules
bee
great
,
and
their
joyes
many
,
yet
shall
they
admit
addition
,
and
bee
more
full
and
perfect
,
at
that
long
wished
and
generall
meeting
with
their
Bodies
.
Amongst
all
the
wonders
of
the
great
Creator
,
not
one
appeareth
to
bee
more
wonderfull
(
replyed
I
)
than
that
our
Bodies
should
arise
,
hauing
suffered
so
many
changes
,
and
Nature
denying
a
returne
from
Priuation
to
a
Habit.
Such
power
(
said
hee
)
beeing
aboue
all
that
the
Vnderstanding
of
Man
can
conceaue
,
may
well
worke
such
wonders
;
For
,
if
Mans
Vnderstanding
could
comprehend
all
the
secretes
and
counsells
of
that
Eternall
Majestie
,
it
must
of
necessitie
bee
equall
vnto
it
.
The
Author
of
Nature
is
not
thralled
to
the
lawes
of
Nature
,
but
worketh
with
them
,
or
contrarie
to
them
,
as
it
pleaseth
Him
:
What
Hee
hath
a
will
to
doe
,
Hee
hath
a
power
to
performe
.
To
that
power
which
brought
all
this
All
from
nought
,
to
bring
againe
in
one
instant
any
substance
which
euer
was
into
it
,
vnto
what
it
was
once
,
should
not
be
thought
impossible
;
For
,
who
can
doe
more
,
can
doe
lesse
,
and
His
power
is
no
lesse
,
after
that
which
was
by
Him
brought
forth
is
decayed
and
vanished
,
than
it
was
before
it
was
produced
;
beeing
neither
restrained
to
certaine
limits
,
or
instruments
,
or
to
any
determinate
&
definit
manner
of
working
:
where
the
power
is
without
restraint
,
the
workeadmitteth
no
other
limits
,
than
the
workers
will
.
This
World
is
as
a
Cabinet
to
GOD
,
in
which
the
small
things
(
how
euer
to
vs
hidde
and
secret
)
are
nothing
lesse
keeped
,
than
the
great
.
For
,
as
Hee
was
wise
and
powerfull
to
create
,
so
doth
His
Knowledge
comprehend
His
own
Creation
;
yea
,
euery
change
and
varietie
in
it
,
of
which
it
is
the
verie
Source
.
Not
any
Atome
of
the
scattered
Dust
of
mankind
though
daylie
flowing
vnder
new
Formes
,
is
to
Him
vnknowne
:
and
His
Knowledge
doth
distinguish
and
discerne
,
what
once
His
power
shall
waken
and
raise
vp
.
Why
may
not
the
Arts-master
of
the
World
,
like
a
Molder
,
what
he
hath
framed
in
diuerse
shapes
,
confound
in
one
masse
,
and
then
seuerally
fashion
them
out
of
the
same
?
Can
the
Spargiricke
by
his
Arte
restore
for
a
space
to
the
dry
and
withered
Rose
,
the
naturall
Purple
and
Blush
:
And
can
not
the
Almightie
raise
and
refine
the
bodie
of
Man
,
after
neuer
so
many
alterations
on
the
Earth
?
Reason
her selfe
finds
it
more
possible
for
infinit
power
to
cast
out
from
it selfe
a
finit
world
,
and
restore
any
thing
in
it
,
though
decayed
and
dissolued
,
to
what
it
was
first
;
than
for
Man
a
finit
piece
of
reasonable
miserie
,
to
change
the
forme
of
matter
made
to
his
hand
:
the
power
of
GOD
neuer
brought
forth
all
that
It
can
,
for
then
were
it
bounded
,
and
no
more
infinit
.
That
Time
doth
approach
(
O
haste
yee
Times
away
)
in
which
the
Dead
shall
liue
,
and
the
Liuing
bee
changed
,
and
of
all
actions
the
Guerdon
is
at
hand
;
Then
shall
there
be
an
end
without
an
end
,
Time
shall
finish
,
and
Place
shall
be
altered
,
Motion
yeelding
vnto
rest
,
and
another
World
of
an
Age
eternall
and
vnchangable
shall
arise
:
Which
when
Hee
had
said
(
me
thought
)
He
vanished
▪
and
I●
all
astonished
did
awake
.
