Devils you my constant Colleg●ars of this Infernall Vniversitie you my trusty Agents who negotiate for me in the Terrestreall Globe to the inriching of my Kingdome the increasing of my subjects and the augmentation of my glory briefly you I say who as my nimble servants sometimes by visible but most commonly by invisible means do attend those who are appointed for a portion of my inheritance in the world least at any time through want of quotidiall nay rather morall solicitations and attendance they should be snatched out of my potent pawes 'T is true my trusty Rogers I have no great cause I confesse to question your sedulity nor vigilancie I meane in generall yet let me tell you my good friends there are some of you in particular whose sloth is now of late dayes highly reprehensible how

notable blade nay as honest a man as ever pist with c. or as trode upon a shoe of leather a large Encomium for it seems the Saints never troad upon any The libidenous Letcher must not want his titles for hee though he have no Gentry hereditary nor dares adventure to get any in the field of Mars yet with a pox to him betwixt Venus and Cornelius not Cornelius Agrippa he shall get enough to make him
