1. The eye sees far, and beholdeth the creatures in coelo, solo, salo: in the heavens, sun and stars: on the earth birds, beasts, plants, and minerals: in the sea, fishes and serpents. That it is an unruly member, let our Grand-mother speak; whose roving eye lost us all. Let Dinah speak, her wandering eye lost her virginity, caused the effusion of much blood. Let the Jews speak concerning the daughters of Midian; what a fearful ⟨p. 33⟩apostasy the Eye procured. Yea let David acknowledge, whose petulant eye robbed Uriah of his wife and life, the land of a good soldier, his own heart of much peace. Yet this eye, as unruly as it is, hath been tamed. Did not Job make a covenant with his eyes, ¹that he would not look upon a maid? The eye hath been tamed, but the tongue can no man tame; it is an unruly, &c.
