Dust, the matter of our substance, the house of our souls, the original grains whereof we were made, the top of all our kindred. The glory of the strongest man, the beauty of the fairest woman; all is but dust. Dust; the only compounder of differences, the absolver of all ⟨p. 22⟩distinctions: who can say, which was the Client, which the Lawyer: which the borrower, which the lender: which the captive, which the Conqueror; when they all lie together in blended dust?

Dust; not Marble, nor Porphyry, Gold nor precious stone, was the matter of our bodies; but earth, and the fractions of the earth, dust. Dust, the sport of the wind, the very slave of the besom. This is the pit from whence we are digged; and this is the pit, to which we shall be resolved.1 Dust thou art, and to dust thou shalt return again. They that sit in the dust, and feel their own materials about them, may well renounce the ornaments of pride, the gulf of avarice, the foolish lusts of concupiscence. Let the covetous think, what do I scrape for? a little golden dust: the ambitious, what do I aspire for? a little honourable dust: the libidinous, what do I languish for? a little animated dust, blown away with the breath of Gods displeasure.
