[Greek or Hebrew], &c. the shape and fashion of the world passeth away, the word is taken from the presentation of the world, as upon a Stage, a man seldom acts the same part a week together; you shall never see the world, or the Creatures in the same state long, now in one state, then in another; come now and you shall see a man married, come again, and you shall find him a Widower; sometimes joyful, sometimes doleful, crying, Have pity on me, O my friends; sometimes again in abundance of sorrow over-night, and joyful in the morning.
