VERS. 14. I press towards the mark.
VERS. 14. I presse towards the marke.
Behold an excellent description of a Christian course, borrowed from the exercise of running a race, being a man-like and commendable exercise, fitting men and enabling them for war. The very heathen herein condemn us, whose ⟨p. 137⟩ordinary chief exercises, what are they but good company (as we call them) continual lying at Taverns, to the impoverishing of our estates, and weakening our bodies: the kind I condemn not, but the excess is such, as the Heathen would be ashamed of, for which they shall even rise up in judgement against us, and condemn us.
