Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
Eternity is like unto a Ring.
ETernity is like unto a Ring.
Time, like to Measure, doth it self extend;
Measure commences, is a finite thing.
The Ring has no beginning, middle, end.
LXXIII. Upon Fire.
Who falls into the Fire shall burn with heat; While those remote scorn from it to retreat. Yea while those in it, cry out, oh! I burn. Some farther off those cries to Laughter turn.
