out

the

grea-

pomp and

almoll

that

could:

bee

conceived

for

a

to

bee

in;

but

behold the revolution

of

things,

within

bonne

two years

and

a

little

more

after

this

,

-

this

glorious

Prince

was

.fláin,

and

his

body

lying naked

to

the

view

..

of all

and_

carried

on

a

Horfe

with

his

hands

and

head

hanging-

down on

the one

fide,

and

his

heels

on

the

other

,

as

Butchers

carry

Swine

or Calves and

fo

hee

was

carried

to

Leicejier

,

and there

lay

divers

daies

above

ground

naked

and

contemptible

,

and

the

very

lone

in

which

his

body

was

laid;

was

afterwards

made

ufe of

to

bee

a

Trough

for-

Morfes

to drink

Inne

;

Phew

to

which a

while

before

was

in

fuch

a

glo ious

condi-

tion

:

Thus wee

fee

that

thefe

things

which

are

here,

will

not

hold

long,

and

for one

to

feek

to

make

his

refl

in

thefe

,things

,

is,

as

if

a bird

fhould build

her nefl

in

a

little

birth,

that

is

floating

up

and

down in the Sea;

thefe

things

will

-carry

you

,a

little

way',

but

not

far;

Wee

have

all

to provide

for

eternity.

If

a

man had

a

Voyage

to

the

Indies

,

and hee fhould provide a

little

Boat

that

fhould

carry

him from

Welbninfler

to the

Bridge

,

it

were

a

poor

provifion;

fo

when wee pro

-

vide

for

outward comforts ; and no more wee

little

think of

the great Voyage

that

Wee

have

to

go

;,

wee

have

all of

us

to

fail

to

eternity,

and

what

is a

Boat

of

thefe outward

comforts

to

carry

us

that

long Vóÿ

The

things

of

this

world

may

well bee

the time

of

a

you
