pours :Why swellst thou then so big, thou little spanOf earth \ what art thou more in being man \Eternal Potter, whose blest hands did layMy coarse foundation from a sod of clay,Thou knowst my slender vessels apt to leak;Thou knowst my brittle tempers prone to break nblems. Aiv my bones brazil, r my flesh of oak i 0, mend what thou hast made, what I have broke: Look, look with gentle eves, and in thy day Of vengeance. Lord, remember I am clay. S. August. Soliloq. xxxii.Shall T ask, who made me ? It was thou that madestme, without whom nothing was made : thou art my Maker,and I thy work. I thank thee, my LORD GOD, by whom Ilive, and by whom all things subsist, because thou madestme: I thank thee, O my Potter, because thy hands havemade me, because thy hands have formed me. Epig. 5.Why swellst thou, man, pufifd up with fame and purse ?Th art better earth, but born to dig the worse :Thou camst from earth, to earth thou must return ;And art but earth, cast from the womb to th urn.
