anish 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: Qnarlcs Euiblenis. 189 Foresight of future torments is the wayTo balk those ills which present joys betray.As thou hast foold thyself, so now come hither,Break that fond glass, and lets be wise together. S. BOXAVE^^T. de Contemptu Sjeculi.O that men would be wise, and understand, and foresee.Be Avise, 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.
