Page v - E'en such is man, whose thread is spun, Drawn out, and cut, and so is done. The rose withers, the blossom blasteth, The flower fades, the morning hasteth, The sun sets, the shadow flies, The gourd consumes,— and man he dies.
Page 34 - I gave you in relation to witchcraft, and which you are pleased to lay your commands upon me to repeat, is as follows : There was one Master Collett, a smith by trade, of Haveningham in the County of Suffolk...
Page 103 - Barking-Creek, and other places, to stop their coming up higher: which put me into such a fear, that I presently resolved of my father's and wife's going into the country ; and, at two hours' warning, they did go by the coach this day, with about £1,300 in gold in their night-bag.

There is a quiet dignity in old bachelorhood; a leisure from cares, noise &c. ; an enthronization upon the armed-chair of a man's feeling that he may sit, walk, read, unmolested ; to none accountable — but hush ! or I shall be torn in pieces, like a churlish Orpheus, by young married women and bride-maids of Birmingham.

Page 148 - Tis vain to trifle in this matter. The light, foolish handling of them by fines is their glory and advantage. If the gallows instead of the compter, and the galleys instead of the fines, were the reward of going to a conventicle, there would not be so many sufferers. The spirit of martyrdom is over. They that will go to church to be chosen sheriffs and mayors, would go to forty churches rather than be hanged.
Page v - Microbiblion " LIKE as the damask rose you see, Or like the blossom on the tree, Or like the dainty flower of May, Or like the morning of the day, Or like the sun, or like the shade, Or like the gourd which Jonas had; Even such is man, whose thread is spun, Drawn out, and cut, and so is done. The rose withers, the blossom blasteth, The flower fades, the morning hasteth, The sun sets, the shadow flies, The gourd consumes, and man — he dies!
Page 164 - Stand, never overlook'd our favourite elms, That screen the herdsman's solitary hut ; While far beyond, and overthwart the stream, That, as with molten glass, inlays the vale, The sloping land recedes into the clouds...
