112.B07.002  ffor thus freinds absent speake, this ease controules
112.B07.003  The tediousnes of my life, [om] for these
112.B07.004  I could I#deate nothinge w%5ch%6. could please
112.B07.005  But I should wither, in one daye and pass
112.B07.006  To a Bottle of hay, that am a loke of grass
112.B07.007  Life is a voyage; and in our lifes wayes
112.B07.008  Countries, Courtes, Townes, are Rockes, or Remoraes
112.B07.009  They breake or stopp all Shipps: yet our state is such
112.B07.010  That though they Pitch they staine worss: wee must touch
112.B07.011  If in the furnace of the even Line
112.B07.012  Or vnder the adverse Icie Pole, thou Pine
112.B07.013  Thou know'st to temperate Regions girded in
112.B07.014  Dwell there; But oh what refuge canst thou winne
112.B07.015  Parched in the Court, and in the Country frozen
112.B07.016  Shall Citties built of both extreames be Chosen?
112.B07.017  Can Dunge, and Garlick be a perfume, or can
112.B07.018  A Scorpion, and Torpedo cure a man
112.B07.019  Citties are worst of all these
112.B07.020  (O knottie riddle) each is worst
112.B07.021  Citties, and Sepulchers: they do dwell there
112.B07.022  Are Carcasses, as if no such then were
112.B07.023  And Courtes are Theaters where some men playe
112.B07.024  Princes, some slaves, all to one end, and of one claye,
112.B07.025  The Cuntrey is a Desert, where noe good
112.B07.026  Gayn'd, as habittes not borne is vnderstood
112.B07.027  There men become beastes, and proue to men euills
112.B07.028  In Citties blockes, and in lewd Courtes Divills| [CW:As]
112.B07.029  As in the first Chaos confusedly [30]
112.B07.030  Each Elementes qualities, were in the other three
112.B07.031  So pride, lust, Covetize, beinge severall
112.B07.032  To these three places, yet all are in all,
112.B07.033  And mingled thus, their issue incestuous
112.B07.034  ffalsehood is Denizen, vertue is Barbarous
112.B07.035  Let no man staye there, vertues flinty wall
112.B07.036  Shall lock vice in mee, Ile doe non, but know all
112.B07.037  Men are Spunges, w%5ch%6 to powre out receive
112.B07.038  Who know false playes, rather then loose deceive
112.B07.039  ffor in best vnderstandinges sinn began
112.B07.040  Angells sinn'd first, then Divells, and then man,
112.B07.041  Only perchaunce beast sinn not, wretched wee
112.B07.042  Are beastes in all but white integritie
112.B07.043  I think if men w%5ch%6 in these places live
112.B07.044  Durst looke for themselves, and themselves retriue
112.B07.045  They would like Strangers greete themselves: seeing \then
112.B07.046  Vtopian youth growne olde Italian
112.B07.047  [I2]Bee then thine owne home, and in thy selfe Dwell
112.B07.048  In any where continuance maketh hell
112.B07.049  And seeinge the Snayle w%5ch%6 every where doth roame
112.B07.050  Carryinge his owne house still, still is at home
112.B07.051  ffollow (for he is easily pac'd) thy snayle
112.B07.052  Bee thine owne pallace, or the world'es thy Iayle
112.B07.053  And in the worldes Sea, doe not like Corkes sleepe
112.B07.054  Vppon the waters face, nor in the Deepe,
112.B07.055  Sinke like a lead w%5th%6out a Line; But as
112.B07.056  ffishes glide, leavinge no print where they pass
112.B07.057  Nor makinge sound, soe closely they goe| [CW:Let]
112.B07.058  Let men dispute whether they breath or noe [30v]
112.B07.059  Only in this one thinge be no Gallanist, to make
112.B07.060  Courtes hott Ambition wholesom; doe not take
112.B07.061  A Dram of Cuntry dulnes, doe not add
112.B07.062  Correctives, but as Chimiques purge the badd
112.B07.063  But S%5r%6: I advise not yo%5u%6; I rather doe

112.B07.068  And brought home that faith w%5ch%6 yo%5w%6 carried forth
