Whom ye have seen to day, ye shall see them again no more for ever, Exod. 14.13. Thus swift is Gods judgement, and outrunning the Sun, flame is swift: the Poets gi•aine that she is the daughter of Titan and Terra, the Sun and the Earth.

His mother, and her wise Ladies insult; Have •hey not sped? have they not divided the prey? Judg. 5.30. No forsooth, for there •as no body left to carry news. Lightning is swift,
