112.H07.002  For thus freinds absent speake, this ease Controwle\(s
112.H07.003  The Tedyousnes of my Life, But for these
112.H07.004  I cold Ideat nothinge, w%5ch%6 cold please
112.H07.005  But should eithe%5r%6 wyther in one day, or prasse
112.H07.006  To A Bottle of hay, W%5c%6h am A Locke of Grasse
112.H07.007  Life is A voyage and in o%5r%6 Lifes wayes

112.H07.012  Or in the Adverse Icye Poles thou Pyne
112.H07.013  Thou knowst two temp%Pate Regions guirded in
112.H07.014  Dwell there; but in this what Refuge canst y%5w%6 wyn?
112.H07.015  Parch'd in the Court, & in the Cou%Mtry frozen
112.H07.016  Shall Cytties buylt of both extreams be chosen\?
112.H07.017  Can Doung, or Garlick be a Perfume? or Can
112.H07.018  A Scorpyon, or Torpedo cure A Mann?
112.H07.019  Cytties are worst of all these three, And why? [CW:.O.]
112.H07.020  O knottie Ryddle, All are worst ae%Lquallye. [p.202]
112.H07.021  Cytties are Sepulchers, They w%5ch%6 dwell there
112.H07.022  Are Carkasses, As if no such their were.
112.H07.023  And Courts, are Theate%5rs%6, where some play
112.H07.024  Princes, some slaves all to one end, & of [om] Clay.
112.H07.025  The Country is A Desart, where y%5e%6 Good
112.H07.026  Gaine In habites, not borne, is not vnderstood:
112.H07.027  There men become Beasts, & proue to all Evill
112.H07.028  In Cytties Blocks, & in A Lewd Court Devills.
112.H07.029  As in the first Chaos Confusedlye

112.H07.032  To these three Places, yet are all in All,
112.H07.033  And Myngled thus their Issue is Incestuous,
112.H07.034  Falshood is denizend, virtue is barborous.
112.H07.035  Let no Man say their virtues flynty wall
112.H07.036  Shall Locke vice in me; Ile doe none, but know all.
112.H07.037  Men are springs, w%5ch%6 to powre out Receive
112.H07.038  Who knowe false play (rathe%5r%6 then loose) deceave.
112.H07.039  For in best vnderstandinge synn begann,

112.H07.041  Only p%Pchance Beasts synnd not, wretched wee [p.203]
112.H07.042  Are Beasts in all but white Integritie.
112.H07.043  I thinke if men, w%5ch%6 in these Places live

112.H07.047  Be then thyne owne %Yw%Zhome, and in thyself dwell
112.H07.048  In any where Contynuance maketh hell.
112.H07.049  And seeing y%5e%6 Snayle, w%5ch%6 euery where doth Rome
