that falsely thus complystWith man; vain man, that thou relystOn earth : vain man, thou doatst; vain earth, thou lyst. What mean dull souls in this high measure To haberdashIn earths base wares, whose greatest treasure Is dross and trash;The height of whose enchanting pleasure Is but a flash ? Quarles* Emblems. 87 Arc these the goods that thou supplyst Us mortals with ; Arc these the highst I Can these bring cordial peace? False world, thoulyst. Pet. Bus. The world is deceitful ; her end is doubtful, her conclu-sion is horrible ; her judge is terrible ; and her punishmentis intolerable. S. AUGUST. Lib. Confess.The vain-glory of this world is a deceitful sweetness, afruitless labour, a perpetual fear, a dangerous honour : herbeginning is without Providence, and her end not withoutrepentance. Epig. 5.World, thourt a traitor; thou hast stampd thy baseAnd chymic metal with great Caesars face,And with thy bastard bullion thou hast barterdFor wares of price ; how justly drawn and quarterd.
