140.H07.001  M%+an is a Lumpe, where all Beasts kneaded bee
140.H07.002  Wisdome makes him an Arke, where all agree
140.H07.003  The Foole in whom theis Beasts do lyve at Iarr [CW:.Is.]
140.H07.004  Is sport to othe%5rs%6, and a Theate%5r%6. [p.183]
140.H07.005  Nor scapes he soe, but is himselfe their p raye
140.H07.006  All w%5ch%6 was Man in him, is late[var:>>eat<<] away.
140.H07.007  And now his Beasts on one another feeds
140.H07.008  Yet Couple in Ange%5r%6, And new Monste%5rs%6 breeds
140.H07.009  How happie's he who hath due place Assign'de
140.H07.010  To his Beasts, and Disforested his Mynd,
140.H07.011  Empal'd him selfe to keep them out, not in
140.H07.012  Can sowe, and dare trust Corn%5e%6, where they haue \bene
140.H07.013  Can vse his Horse, Goate, Wolfe & euery Beast
140.H07.014  And bee not Asse him selfe, to all y%5e%6 Rest?
140.H07.015  Ells man not only is the heard of swyne
140.H07.016  But rathe%5r%6 is those Devills who did inclyne
140.H07.017  Then[var:The>>m<<] to A headlonge rage, and made the%M worse
140.H07.018  For Man can Add waight to heavens hartiest Curs
140.H07.019  As Sowles (they say) (by o%5r%6 first touch) take in
140.H07.020  The Poysonous tinckture of Origenall Sin%M,
140.H07.021  So to the Punishm%5t%6, w%5ch%6 God doth flinge
140.H07.022  Our Apprehension Contributes the Stinge
140.H07.023  To vs, As to his Chickens he doth Cast [CW:.Hemlocke.]
140.H07.024  Hemlock, and we as Men his Hemlocke tast: [p.184]
140.H07.025  We doe infuse to what he meant for meat
140.H07.026  Corasives, or Intensives, Cold, or heate.
140.H07.027  For God no such specifique Poison hath
140.H07.028  As kylls we know not how; His feircest wrath
140.H07.029  Hath noe Antipathie, but may bee Good
140.H07.030  At least for Phisick, if not for o%5r%6 food.
140.H07.031  Thus Man that might be his pleasure is his Rod
140.H07.032  And is his Devill that might be his God.
140.H07.033  Since then o%5r%6 Busynes, is to rectefye
140.H07.034  Nature to what it was, we are led a%awa%ay
140.H07.035  By them, who man to vs in little showe
140.H07.036  Greate%5r%6 then due noe forme we can bestow
140.H07.037  On hym: for Man into himselfe can drawe
140.H07.038  All that his faith can swallow, and can Chawe
140.H07.039  All that is fytt,[var:>>fillen<<,] and all that w%5ch%6 doth fill.
140.H07.040  All the Rownd World to Man is but a Pill
140.H07.041  In all it works not, But it is in All
140.H07.042  Poisonous, or Purgatiue, or Cordyall. [CW:.For.]
140.H07.043  ffor knowledge kyndles Calentures in some [p.185]
140.H07.044  And is to others Icie opivm.
140.H07.045  As bare, as true is, that profession than
140.H07.046  w%5ch%6 yo%5w%6 doe vse to make of knowing Man.
140.H07.047  This makes it Credible; you haue dwelt vpon
140.H07.048  All worthy Books, and now are such a one.
140.H07.049  Actions are Authors, and of these in yow
140.H07.050  Yo%5r%6 friends fynd euery day a Mart of Newe.
