That his fondling and darling soule was now fleeting he knew not vnto what darknesse danger it should passe where now shoulde be hits lodging now that it was to loose hits former delight and sporting he knew not the pace the place the passage the entertainment how farre was he from him whose motto was Nec pudet viuere nec piget mori frō all the Saints of God that know they are but translated dissolued gathered to their fathers fallen a sleepe their life is hid for a time that they lay downe their tabernacles lie downe in peace sleepe in the Lord rest in hope wait their change that death is only a ferry a boat a bridge to convay them into another place or as a Groome that lights a taper into another roome But ô humane witchcraft that so enchanteth those two divinely polished tables of the soule the wil vnderstanding cheating the affections in the one checking the meditations of the other Why do not the gallant walking Ghosts of this godlesse-age provide more willingly to entertaine the divorce dissolution of their earthly frame why so dayly do they incur the death of both parts when as their defluxion and consuming course is daily manifested every minute they liue being a steppe vnto death every action pulling away some part of their beloved life when like a candle continually burning they are howrely dying and yet as vnwilling to die as weake to resist death the head a skull the breath smoake the eie water the braine dirt the hart dust the body a house of clay Scal.

Colours as this vaile must be removed before the entrance can be obtained into the Sanctū Sāctorum so must the body put of mortality to indue it selfe with immortality But the fleeting Meteors of this fond age neglect the Contemplation hereof and being no more able to abide death then quiet in thinking on the feare of death they wish to fly even from thēselues and to be discharged frō being guided by so ill a guest as their owne soule they wish their portion to continue in this life they can be cōtent to stay here for ever The base wealth false pleasures vaine hopes lying promises fained friendship short glory fading beauty of this dull and dungeon-like life yeelds them sufficient satisfaction otherwise to be sequestred from these itching toies bewitching ioies and to leaue the world they are most loathsomly loath they answere they know where they are whither they shall goe they know not and herevpon in the instant of their trāsmigration they are so vnwilling to leaue the world hence is it that they begin to feele the flames of Hell before they goe downe to the graue before them horror behinde them terror on the one side sinne on the other shame fire in the hand a serpent at the heart terrors of the night sting of conscience feare of hell torture them and their vnwillingnes to die is most willing to torment them But I proceed my subiect is sorrow whom I follow 10 How sorrowful a day was this Vigil of his death How watry that day the 5. of November which should haue beene the day of feare and fire and fury if that Tragedy which Antichrist and hell plotted had been acted How was this day the day of Ioy and Iubile for deliverance I say how was the glory and beauty thereof changed by this Ecclipse of the Princely sunne The Lord even then visiting vs Lament 2.22 as Ieremy complaineth in the Lamentations Lord thou hast called vs in a solemne day and now terrors are round about vs. A day that at the institution thereof did occasion more cause of ioy to vs thē any ordinary day of deliuerance to the Iewes our deliverance greater our enimies more cruell their snares more fearefull the mischeefe more miserable the misery more generall and the proiect more horrid and terrible then ever any we read of among Iewes or Gētiles Graecians or Barbarians or the history of any estate hath read heard or registred in times Chronology A day wherein they cryed of Zion downe with it downe with it even to the ground Wherein the Oracles of our wisdome the Chariots of our Israell the sacred Reverence of our Clergy had beene devoured the learned Guardians of our Iustice the whole estate of our weale-publike by a publicke woe had beene blasted and blemished and consumed A day that should haue been mother to the fowlest monster and monstrous plot that ever was purposed or performed facinus tale quod nec Poeta fingere nec Histrio sonare nec mimus imitari poterat even in that day wherein wee were freed and delivered by a miraculous hand from this hell-borne horror intended against vs. O how was this daie altered by the publicke sorrow for vertues sicknesse This fift day feare possessed City and Court a day that though Pythagoras and Hesiod count to bee most infortunate yet was never ominous or inauspitious to vs witnes the gracious preservation of the Lords Annointed on the 5 of August and this 5 of November Now many hearty prayers were in fiery Chariots sent vp to heauē to implore divine maiestie that this day we might not be led into the temptation of such a tempestuous shipwracke as the losse of our Prince Hesiod Virgil. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 saith Hesiod and Quintam fuge is Virgils caution and Rhodiginus giveth the reason Coel.
