way_n but_o chief_o in_o death_n their_o dignity_n do_v vanish_v and_o they_o differ_v not_o from_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v as_o i_o allege_v before_o psalm_n 49._o therefore_o he_o say_v the_o condition_n of_o the_o child_n of_o man_n and_o the_o condition_n of_o the_o beast_n be_v even_o as_o one_o condition_n to_o they_o as_o the_o one_o die_v so_o die_v y_fw-mi e_z other_o for_o they_o have_v all_o one_o breath_n and_o there_o be_v no_o excellency_n of_o man_n above_o the_o beast_n for_o all_o be_v vanity_n all_o go_v to_o one_o place_n say_v he_o all_o be_v of_o the_o dust_n and_o all_o shall_v return_v to_o the_o dust_n thus_o we_o see_v he_o prove_v they_o notwithstanding_o their_o dignity_n to_o be_v as_o the_o beast_n because_o the_o event_n fall_v out_o to_o be_v all_o one_o no_o difference_n at_o all_o appear_v to_o day_n a_o judge_n a_o ruler_n a_o mighty_a king_n to_o morrow_n all_o one_o in_o condition_n with_o the_o vile_a beast_n both_o die_v alike_o age_n or_o some_o sickness_n or_o hurt_n do_v cause_n the_o body_n to_o pine_v and_o languish_v strength_n fail_v they_o abhor_v meat_n and_o yield_v up_o the_o breath_n the_o same_o also_o be_v a_o like_a for_o both_o have_v nostril_n to_o draw_v in_o the_o air_n both_o man_n and_o beast_n gasp_n and_o yield_v up_o the_o same_o after_o one_o sort_n the_o beast_n do_v rot_v and_o turn_v to_o dust_n &_o so_o do_v the_o man_n for_o both_o be_v make_v of_o the_o dust_n and_o both_o return_n to_o the_o dust_n in_o all_o these_o here_o be_v as_o he_o say_v no_o excellency_n of_o man_n above_o the_o beast_n for_o all_o be_v vanity_n thus_o we_o see_v man_n be_v in_o honour_n but_o do_v not_o continue_v he_o be_v like_o the_o beast_n that_o perish_v the_o holy_a scripture_n when_o it_o will_v abate_v man_n high_a stomach_n do_v put_v he_o in_o mind_n that_o his_o breath_n be_v in_o his_o nostril_n he_o be_v but_o dust_n and_o shall_v die_v and_o return_v to_o dust_n now_o because_o this_o foolish_a vain_a glory_n that_o man_n have_v in_o themselves_o and_o in_o the_o vanity_n of_o this_o world_n cleave_v so_o fast_o solomon_n urge_v the_o matter_n very_o sore_a when_o he_o make_v no_o difference_n at_o all_o nor_o no_o excellency_n of_o man_n above_o the_o beast_n let_v man_n consider_v well_o of_o this_o and_o it_o must_v needs_o make_v they_o less_o esteem_v the_o glory_n of_o this_o world_n now_o if_o they_o have_v riches_n and_o be_v a_o step_n or_o two_o in_o honour_n above_o other_o it_o fare_v with_o they_o as_o if_o they_o be_v of_o a_o other_o kindred_n yea_o as_o if_o they_o be_v petty_a god_n but_o if_o it_o can_v enter_v into_o their_o mind_n to_o think_v i_o have_v honour_n and_o dignity_n and_o glory_n here_o in_o the_o world_n i_o be_o set_v up_o above_o the_o common_a sort_n but_o shall_v this_o difference_n between_o i_o and_o they_o continue_v sure_o not_o i_o shall_v be_v make_v equal_a with_o the_o base_a man_n yea_o which_o be_v more_o i_o shall_v differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o the_o vile_a beast_n i_o shall_v have_v no_o excellency_n above_o a_o dog_n his_o breath_n be_v as_o my_o breath_n we_o draw_v in_o all_o one_o air_n he_o and_o i_o shall_v yield_v it_o forth_o a_o like_a i_o shall_v die_v as_o he_o die_v my_o carcase_n be_v now_o dainty_o lead_v lie_v soft_a be_v deck_v with_o rich_a apparel_n and_o be_v honour_v it_o shall_v be_v as_o vile_a and_o as_o rot_v and_o loathsome_a as_o he_o we_o both_o return_n to_o dust_n that_o body_n which_o now_o be_v honour_v within_o few_o day_n if_o a_o man_n come_v to_o it_o he_o must_v stop_v his_o nose_n why_o do_v i_o then_o seek_v to_o glorify_v myself_o in_o this_o vain_a estate_n ●_o why_o do_v i_o not_o tread_v down_o these_o vanity_n and_o seek_v the_o glory_n that_o be_v of_o god_n i_o say_v if_o we_o can_v with_o this_o noble_a king_n enter_v thorough_o into_o such_o consideration_n the_o vain_a world_n shall_v not_o so_o bewitch_v we_o and_o carry_v we_o from_o god_n for_o who_o be_v so_o foolish_a to_o labour_v most_o for_o that_o which_o within_o a_o short_a time_n can_v not_o make_v he_o differre_fw-la from_o the_o bruit_n beast_n but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v that_o this_o be_v hard_a to_o say_v there_o be_v no_o excellency_n at_o all_o of_o man_n above_o the_o beast_n when_o death_n come_v see_v the_o beast_n do_v whole_o pearish_a but_o man_n have_v a_o soul_n which_o do_v not_o die_v but_o live_v though_o the_o body_n turn_v to_o dust_n this_o objection_n do_v solomon_n prevent_v when_o he_o say_v who_o know_v the_o spirit_n of_o man_n that_o it_o go_v upward_o and_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o beast_n that_o it_o go_v down_o ward_n to_o the_o earth_n as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v though_o it_o be_v most_o certain_a that_o man_n have_v a_o spirit_n which_o die_v not_o with_o the_o body_n but_o return_v to_o god_n that_o give_v it_o as_o he_o speak_v afterward_o in_o the_o last_o chapter_n of_o this_o book_n and_o that_o the_o beast_n have_v no_o other_o spirit_n or_o soul_n but_o such_o as_o die_v with_o the_o body_n yet_o this_o make_v no_o difference_n between_o they_o touch_v this_o present_n world_n for_o whereby_o can_v any_o man_n gather_v in_o the_o death_n of_o man_n that_o he_o differ_v or_o have_v a_o excellency_n above_o the_o beast_n i_o there_o be_v it_o do_v not_o appear_v neither_o do_v it_o therefore_o touch_v the_o state_n of_o the_o world_n such_o as_o die_v in_o the_o lord_n be_v blese_v and_o do_v in_o that_o respect_n far_o excel_v the_o beast_n but_o touch_v this_o world_n about_o the_o vanity_n and_o misery_n whereof_o solomon_n dispute_v there_o be_v no_o difference_n nor_o excellency_n nor_o privilege_n above_o the_o beast_n for_o the_o man_n which_o have_v embrace_v this_o present_a world_n they_o have_v a_o soul_n in_o deed_n that_o live_v but_o it_o be_v a_o thousand_o time_n better_o for_o they_o if_o they_o have_v not_o but_o do_v whole_o perish_v as_o the_o beast_n here_o be_v no_o colour_n of_o matter_n in_o this_o sentence_n to_o uphold_v the_o wicked_a opinion_n of_o those_o detestable_a monster_n which_o denis_n the_o immortality_n of_o the_o soul_n when_o they_o allege_v this_o say_n of_o solomon_n you_o see_v it_o be_v but_o wrest_v again_o here_o be_v no_o cause_n to_o move_v we_o for_o fear_v lest_o we_o shall_v strengthen_v that_o wicked_a opinion_n to_o take_v it_o that_o solomon_n do_v here_o show_v what_o he_o judge_v by_o humane_a wisdom_n for_o humane_a reason_n have_v not_o so_o judge_v that_o man_n differ_v nothing_o at_o all_o from_o beast_n after_o death_n the_o humane_a reason_n be_v so_o blind_a that_o it_o will_v not_o be_v bring_v to_o make_v such_o a_o proof_n as_o this_o that_o man_n do_v not_o differ_v from_o the_o beast_n because_o all_o be_v vanity_n as_o we_o see_v he_o say_v a_o little_a before_o in_o this_o discourse_n i_o say_v therefore_o it_o be_v out_o of_o all_o doubt_n a_o matter_n propound_v by_o solomon_n through_o the_o due_a contemplation_n whereof_o the_o proud_a and_o lofty_a mind_n of_o man_n may_v be_v bring_v down_o that_o he_o may_v thirst_v for_o a_o better_a estate_n and_o seek_v it_o that_o he_o may_v less_o regard_v these_o transitory_a thing_n in_o which_o his_o condition_n do_v fall_v out_o very_o soon_o to_o be_v all_o one_o with_o the_o beast_n and_o here_o we_o may_v remember_v by_o the_o way_n how_o abject_a and_o base_a the_o proud_a mind_n of_o man_n be_v which_o know_v not_o god_n they_o be_v as_o lofty_a in_o conceit_n as_o if_o all_o fortitude_n and_o magnanimity_n be_v in_o they_o yea_o they_o will_v seem_v to_o be_v gloriouse_a and_o yet_o look_v well_o upon_o the_o matter_n and_o you_o shall_v see_v they_o have_v bow_v down_o themselves_o to_o a_o base_a condition_n when_o their_o heart_n be_v set_v upon_o earthly_a glory_n which_o can_v not_o long_o lift_v they_o up_o above_o the_o beast_n in_o deed_n this_o be_v the_o valiant_a mind_n to_o despise_v to_o tread_v down_o the_o vain_a pomye_n of_o this_o world_n to_o esteem_v base_o of_o thing_n transitory_a to_o long_o for_o that_o bless_a estate_n in_o which_o there_o shall_v no_o baseness_n approach_v and_o in_o which_o it_o shall_v not_o be_v say_v man_n be_v in_o honour_n and_o shall_v not_o continue_v he_o be_v like_o the_o beast_n that_o pearish_a if_o the_o son_n of_o
