Who can then deny this world to be brittle? we see how slowly the tired earth returns us the fruits, which we trusted her bowels with. Her usury grows weak, like a decayed debtor, unable to pay us the interest, she was wont. Ni vis humana quotannis Maxima quaeque manu legeret.
VVho can then deny this world to be brittle? we see how slowly the tired earth returnes vs the fruits, which wee trusted her bowels with. Her vsury growes weake, like a decayed debter, vnable to pay vs the interest, she was wont. Ni vis humana quotannis Maxima quaeque manu legeret.
The World is lame, 1and every member, as it were out of joint. It caught a fall in the Cradle, as Mephibosheth by falling from his Nurse; and the older it waxeth, the more maimedly it halteth. Sin entered presently ⟨p. 50⟩after the worlds birth, and gave it a mortal wound. It hath laboured ever since of an incurable consumption; The noblest part of it, Man, first felt the smart, and in his curse both beasts and plants received theirs. It fell sick early in the morning; and hath now languished in a lingering lethargy, till the evening of dissolution is at hand.
