Glass, whiles it is melting hot and soft, is pliable to any form; but cold and hard, it is brittle. When God first made the world, it was malleable to his working hand; to his commanding word: for he spake the word, & things were created. The next time he toucheth it, it shall br•ke to pieces, like a pot-sheard. The heavens shall pass away with a great 1noise, the Elements shall melt with fervent heat, and the earth also, and the works that are therein, shall be ⟨p. 47⟩burnt up. Isidore mentions one, that came to Tiberius the Emperor with a vial of glass in his hand: and throwing it down to the ground, it brake not; but only was bent, which he straightened again with his hammer. But, saith the same Author, the Emperor hanged him for his skill. How pleasing an invention should that false Prophet make; that should come, and tell the covetous worldling, or luxurious Epicure, that this glassy world is not brittle; but shall abide ever! But serve him, as the Emperor did; hang him up for an Atheistical liar, that so speaks.
Glasse, whiles it is melting hote and soft, is plyable to any forme; but cold and hard, it is brittle. When God first made the world, it was malleable to his working hand; to his commanding word: for he spake the word, & things were created. The next time he toucheth it, it shall br•ke to peeces, like a pot-sheard. The heauens shall passe away with a great 1noise, the Elements shall melt with feruent heate, and the earth also, and the workes that are therein, shall be ⟨p. 47⟩burnt vp. Isiodore mentions one, that came to Tyberius the Emperor with a viall of glasse in his hand: and throwing it downe to the ground, it brake not; but onely was bent, which he straiten'd againe with his hammer. But, saith the same Author, the Emperor hang'd him for his skill. How pleasing an inuention should that false Prophet make; that shold come, and tell the couetous worldling, or luxurious Epicure, that this glassy world is not brittle; but shal abide euer! But serue him, as the Emperor did; hang him vp for an Atheisticall lyar, that so speaks.
