Though he be magnified up to the heaven, so that his head reacheth unto the clouds, yet he perisheth at the last like dung: insomuch that they which have seen him shall say, where is he? He vanisheth as a dream, so that he can no more be found, and passeth away in a vision in the night, so that the eye which saw him before, getteth now no sight of him & his place knoweth him no more.
