h with the turning of a hand :Were they but painted colours, it might standWith painted reason that they might devote thee :But things that have no being to besot thee ! Quarled Emblems. 189 Foresight of future torments is the wayTo balk these ills which present joys betray.As then hast foold thyself, so now- come hither,Break that fond glass, and lets be wise together. S. BONAVENT. de Contemptu Saeculi. O that men would be wise, and understand, and foresee. Be wise, to know three things, the multitude of those thatare to be damned ; the few number of those that are to besaved ; and the vanity of transitory things : understandthree things : the multitude of sins, the omission of goodthings, and the loss of time: foresee three things ; thedanger of death, the last judgment, and eternal punishment. Epig. 14.What, soul, no further yet? what, neer commenceMaster in faith ? still bachelor of sense ?Ist insufficiency? or what has made theeOerslip thy lost degree ? thy lusts have staid thee.
