It was a saying amongst the heathen testified by Tully in an epistle to Marius, that when a mans estate begun any way to be impoverished, there was no cause why he should desire to live any longer, but that he might make himself away, which saying was so approved amongst the people, that many when their honours or riches are impaired, or desires frustrate, did not stick to dispatch themselves as we read of Atheniensis and Cato Viticensis and divers others, and Tully himself so far approveth it, that although he laid not violent hands on himself, yet he said he knew not why a mans estate was decayed he should 1wish to live any longer, but here we are taught another lesson that though we find our selves in particular or our Church in general any whit impaired, yet we must not despair, but take example by this exhortation to strive to amend what we find amiss, yet now be of good courage O Zerubbabel and be of good courage O Jehoshua &c.2
