A poore man now arrived at the Land of promise -- The multitudes of people covered the beautie of the fields -- He sate among graue, learned and reuerend men -- Faire and softly goeth far -- I am for the medium in all things -- The danger never dreamt of, that is the danger -- O lett me bosome thee, lett me preserve thee next to my heart -- We have twice and thrice so much scope for oure earthlie peregrination ... -- When we do luxuriate and grow riotous in the gallantnesses of this world -- True religion is in no way gargalisme only -- The grace of the fashion of it -- Hath God forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?
