1In the third vision he speaks of a solitariness: for he saith, he saw no man; and all the birds of the heavens were flown away. 2We know the first and chiefest ornament of this world consists in men, and other living creatures. For to what end should the earth have such fruitfulness bestowed ⟨p. 235⟩upon it, as to bring forth such diversity, and such a quantity of good things, but in regard of the use of man and beast? Although then that trees, herbs, and an infinite variety of fruits, do give a wonderful ornament and beauty to the earth, yet doth her chiefest beauty consist in being replenished with men and beasts.
