He can plead more then familiarity. even inherence, inheritance of what nature hath left us. He is not only collateral, but connatural to us. One house hath held us, one breath served us, one nutriment fed us, ever since one conception bred us. Like Hippocrates twins ⟨p. 21⟩we should have inseparably lived together, and loved together, if the prerogative Court of grace and mercy had not divorced us.

His companie is wearisom, his sollicitings tedious, to the virgine-daughter of Sion. Oh wretched man that I am, who shall deliuer mee from the bodie of this death?
