Theo. When I would consider this world, I remember a comparison that the Prophet Isaiah useth,1 to show forth the state and overthrow of the wicked which were in his time. He showeth them that they shall be deceived in their vain hopes, and that their confidence in iniquity shall be like an old ruinous wall, which showeth to be whole, but shall suddenly fall to the ground, and overwhelm all those that are about it.2 And when I consider this world, me thinks it is like an old ruinous building of which the said, mortar, and stones is so old, that they fall away by little and little, what shall we think then of such a building but sudden overthrow ear we beware.
