The Agents
Are Men. Thou hast caused men to ride, &c. Man is a sociable living creature, and should converse with man in love and tranquillity. Man should be a supporter of man, is he become an overthrower? He should help and keep him up, doth he ride over him, and tread him under foot? O Apostasy, not only from divinity, but even from humanitie. Quid homini inimicissimum? Homo. The greatest 1danger that befalls man, comes whence it should least come; from man himself. Caetera animantia, saith Pliny, in suo genere, probe degunt, &c. Lyons fight not with Lions: Serpents spend not their venoms on serpents: but Man is the main suborner of mischief to his own kind.
